Travel Photo Thread

Goddamn it. I could spend all day reading and posting on this thread. Anyway, here's a few photos...

From our most recent trip to Zion NP. Taken from the top of Angel's Landing.

Someone started a thread about visiting Curacao, so here's a shot of our catamaran off the coast of Klein Curacao. Amazing beach.

Thanks gang. Two of my biggest passions are traveling and photography, so this thread is like crack for me. I'll post more in a bit if I get a chance.
 
A few more. Sorry for the photobomb. It's a good thing I'm leaving town for the rest of the weekend, or I would just stare at this thread for hours and hit "refresh" over and over again.

Glacier Lake in the Wallowa Mountains. If I had enough food, I could have camped here forever.

Taken in Polebridge, Montana, on our way into the backcountry of Glacier NP. The road was quite dusty, hence the sign.

Well okay, here are some more from my semester in Chile. I'm leery of oversharing, but whatever, it's a pictures thread. If you're bored of my pics, just scroll down.

With some friends, hiking the W trail in Torres del Paine, a national park in the far south of Chile (patagonia). The sign at the fork in the road read: Personas<---->Caballos.

Crapshoot - When you say "your catamaran" do you mean you own it or you were just sailing on it? Either way...:drool:

Ha! I wish I owned a catamaran in a foreign country. Alas, we were just passengers. Still pretty cool, even if 2/3 of the people on board did barf over the hand rail.
 
Just got back from a trip around the world. I have around a thousand pictures, but here are some of my favorites:

Riding camels in the Sahara in Morocco

Its too bad that I did not have a better camera with me, or else I would have some pretty spectacular shots. I was going more for content in these. There are only a few of the locations I went as well, just too many pictures to choose from. Epic trip.
 
Holy shit. How do you people afford this stuff. I'm so jelly :(

This is a busy commercial street in Bangalore. I was so happy to get a stereotypical cow picture.
