USA Dustin Frazier on Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 1:02AM Apropos of absolutely nothing, I thought it might be fun to share some of the panoramic photographs I’ve stitched together over the last seven months. Adobe Photoshop’s Photomerge feature makes this incredibly easy; it hurts my brain thinking about how they automatically match up the photos, align and skew them to fit together, do color correction and white balancing, and all that fancy stuff. However they do it, some of resulting photos are pretty cool. Enjoy!
Laura Maestrelli on Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 2:55PM We’re wrapping up our month-long UK adventure here in Edinburgh, a city whose name I continued to mispronounce well into my twenties. We’ve spent most of the last three days here immersed in the sensory overload that is the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, an arts/comedy/theater/freak show/music festival that takes place every year over the course of four weeks in August, and includes roughly TWO THOUSAND different acts scattered around the city. Think: urban Burning Man… with haggis.
culture in United Kingdom Dustin Frazier on Monday, August 23, 2010 at 4:24PM When I first started writing this post, my plan was to unload for a while about the difficulties we had with lodging, service, and general infrastructure after our Kilimanjaro climb in Tanzania, and about how I basically had a minor meltdown as a result. Those of you who know our good friend and travel partner Christi may have already heard a bit from her about my travel weariness (or more specifically, my lack of patience with the developing world), and I still hate thinking that my inability to deal with some of the primitive infrastructure in Tanzania had a negative impact on her experience of seeing Africa for the first time. I was going to write about all that, and how I’ve gained more perspective on the experience now, and all the meaningful things I’ve learned about myself, blah, blah, blah.
Laura Maestrelli on Thursday, August 19, 2010 at 12:34PM Greetings from Scotland! In light of the fact that we’ve been wandering around the United Kingdom for last three weeks, we thought it might be time to do a proper update about our adventures here. Dustin is working on a short post about our week in London, so I’m going to focus on the road trip we’ve been on for the last couple of weeks.
hiking, lodging, road trip in United Kingdom Laura Maestrelli on Monday, August 9, 2010 at 9:37AM Let’s say you’re on a month-long road trip around the United Kingdom and you find yourself in a small, unpronounceable town in Wales. And let’s say that while you’re wandering around this vowel-deprived town, you stumble across this poster on the side of the road…
animals in United Kingdom Dustin Frazier on Saturday, August 7, 2010 at 2:39AM Well, we finally got through all of our game drive photos from Tanzania and posted the best ones in our Game Drives – Part 1 and Game Drives – Part 2 photo albums. We took something like 500+ photos in only three days of driving around the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater national parks in Tanzania, but we still feel a little bad that the best-of albums are so big. We were lucky enough to see a ton of animals, though, so we felt like we had to share at least one or two photos of each of them. :)
