Travel Challenge – Day One

Thank you to Maggie and Richard of the wonderful Monkey’s Tale adventure travel blog for nominating me for The Travel Challenge.

The challenge is to post a favourite travel picture for 10 days without explanation and nominate someone else to participate.

I’m going to bend the rules a little and add an explanation, since I am a writer more than a photographer and like to know the who, what, where, why and how, although I’m sure the point of this is to get comments on the blog…

This is one of my favourite photos from all my travels – penguins with cactus in the Galapagos Islands, from my trip to Ecuador in 1996. I just love the incongruity observed on the Equator due to the cold Humboldt current from Antarctica.

If I nominate you and you don’t want to participate, please do not feel obliged, I appreciate it’s a busy time of year. However, if you do, please link back to me so that I can see your post.

In these strange times, I think we all need a little vicarious travel and cheering up – and it’s a great excuse to delve back into your travel archives!

And if you haven’t already, I really recommend checking out Monkey’s Tale for some travel inspiration!

Drumroll… my nomination is… In Pursuit of a Dream!
