Action shot! After several weeks of sedentary activity, I'm missing the adventures from The Kimberley. This one is from the hike up to El Questro Gorge, after we had to cross a small pool of water to continue our ascent. . . . #climbing #adventure #adventureaustralia #thekimberley #rock #rockclimbing #elquestro #travelworldwide #outback

This guardian cat at a temple in Bali is pretty applicable to how I feel lately. Lazy and sleepy. At least this cat has a good job - "guard" the temple for free food. . . . #bali #indonesia #cat #animals #lazy #travel #backpacking #travelworldwide

Weird photo of the biggest lake in Australia? You betcha. . . . #australia #wa #lake #water #reflection #blue #color #travel #travelworldwide #reflection

Things I miss: forests. And weather warm enough to take your shirt off in. I don't think I've slept without my comforter or gone outside without my jacket at all this week. Thanks, auckland. . . . . #travel #weather #australia #outback #thekimberley #elquestro #gorge #hiking #climbing #adventure #exploreaustralia #travelworldwide #auckland #newzealand

Night markets in Bali - much better in black and white. It makes it look like the chairs and tables match, when in reality there's about twenty different colors fighting for your attention. . . . #bali #food #market #night #travel #travelworldwide #backpacking #indonesia #dinner

Finally transferred some photos over to my phone from our time in Bali. This was from the first place we stayed - the family showed us their small farm where they grew plants and catfish. Since we were the only white people here, the local children were enamored with us. . . . . #bali #culture #children #farm #fish #travel #travelworldwide #indonesia #backpacking

I'm at a weird point right now. I love the outdoors and all the places I've seen and visited. At the same time, I've learned that it isn't about the places I visit, but the people that I'm with. There are beautiful parks and monuments around the world, but the people are always different no matter where you go. So I'm stuck, trying to choose what to photograph. . . . . . #photography #personal #adventure #westernaustralia #purnululu #cathedral #gorge #nationalpark #travel #travelworldwide #australia #bacpacking #friends

This is one of my favorite photos from here in Bali. It's one of the priests at Tanah Lot sitting on a stone sea wall, and his stare is something that's almost magnetic. Even as I was taking his photo, my eyes were drawn to his. . . . . #bali #indonesia #tanahlot #priest #holy #travel #travelworldwide #backpacking

The people of Bali might charge you an arm and a leg for everything on the island, but they're also some of the nicest people. . . . . #bali #indonesia #tourism #tanahlot #temple #religion #holy #people #men #travel #backpacking #travelworldwide

Offerings are a common sight in Bali - they're placed out in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. From what I've been told, there are offerings to keep bad spirits away, ensure the family is healthy, and are offerings to the gods. . . . . #bali #religion #offerings #indonesia #travel #travelworldwide #backpacking #tirtaempul

Light is a very interesting tool in photography, and it shows itself fantastically in slot canyons. When the sun is going down, it bounces off the walls, giving both a hard and a soft light to your subject. . . . . #photography #travel #adventure #travelworldwide #australia #purnululu #echidnachasm #nationalpark #westernaustralia

Tirta Empul, a temple in Bali that has holy water, is popular for both local Indonesians as well as travelers. . . . . #bali #tirtaempul #religion #hindu #prayer #indonesia #travel #backpacking #adventure #exploration #water #spring #holy #fountains

I'm glad that I've had the opportunity to travel around the world and see the things I've seen - especially in these tumultuous times. . . . . #bali #hindu #religion #prayer #religious #water #temple #tirtaempul #indonesia #travel #adventure #photography #world #events #history #statues #ancient #people #southeastasia

The boab trees in Australia produce edible seeds inside large shells. Depending on when you "harvest" these seeds, they can taste like either questionable decisions or packing styrofoam.
