Gazing out over the Sub-Pyrenees  ************************************************** #tbt of my trip to Barcelona with @cceitwalker. We woke up early in the morning to catch the sun rising over the Sub-Pyrenees from a hot air balloon, 45 minutes north of Barcelona. The Sub-Pyrenees consist of a series of parallel mountain ranges aligned in an east-west direction. Their shape is smooth and are mostly covered with forest. Off in the distance lies the main Pyrenees mountain range which serves as a natural border between Spain & France. | 🇪🇸🏔🇫🇷

🕷Which is your favorite edit?🕷

I took this shot over the weekend at the Brooker Creek Preserve, in Pinellas County. This little guy spun his web ten feet above the hiking trail and the sunlight through the trees made his creation shine. This was a particularly challenging shot. A slow and consistent breeze made his web move like a flag in the wind, so it was tough getting the spider into focus. Luckily I have patient friends that waited for me to get the shot. Big thanks to the crew for your patience!

Standing on a Supervolcano 🌋 ********************************************* The last 'supereruption' was 630,000 years ago but many smaller eruptions have been recorded since. Today, volcanic activity is exhibited via numerous geothermal vents scattered throughout the region, including the famous Old Faithful Geyser -- the geyser in this shot is walking distance from Old Faithful. When I was there it was early October and below freezing for most of my trip. When I took this shot the steam from the surrounding geysers made the park look like a war zone. Water exploded from the land without warning and steam filled the sky -- it was awesome 😎

Snowfall in Yellowstone

I visited Yellowstone in early October. I stayed at the Old Faithful Inn, a log-and-stone building that was built back in 1903. The inn is steps away from Old Faithful, the famous cone geyser in the heart of Yellowstone National Park. It was the final week the inn was open before closing for the harsh Wyoming winter. On the final day before closing, a snowstorm swept over the park covering the roads with over a foot of snow and officially extending my stay. I was snowed in and couldn't have been happier. The sky cleared the next day and melted enough of the snow to drive out of the park. I took this shot that day alongside the road, miles from anything, on my way to Montana.

What's for dinner? 🤔 *********************************⠀ I took this shot while exploring Malacca on my last trip in Malaysia. The large wok they're cooking in is called a 'Kawah' but I have no idea what they're cooking -- do you have any guesses?

🍂X-RAY🍂 ***********************************⠀ This shot is from a hike I went on over the weekend at Alafia River State Park, outside of Tampa FL. The weather was perfect and the hiking was better than expected. The park was once a phosphate mining site so it offers some of the most radical elevation changes found in Florida. In addition to 20 miles of hiking, the park also has 17 miles of bike trails ranging from beginner to advanced. Really looking forward to going back for some single-track riding!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #alafiariver #earthpix #nature #naturelovers #natureporn #nature365 #naturebest #naturerad #beautifuldestinations #earthofficial #picoftheday #naturegeek #extraordinaryexplorer #HikeLife #werehikers #hikingadventures #exploremore #outdoortherapy #outdooradventures #instanature #neverstopexploring #discoverandescape #timeoutsociety #traveleroftheweek #floridalife #floridasun #floridahikes #tampalife #unlocktampabay (at Alafia River State Park)

CHINESE GARDEN, SINGAPORE

[rwillwalker-blog]

L O O K U P 🙄 ****************** I took this shot at the Chinese Gardens in Singapore. I was standing on the first floor of the tallest Pagoda, looking up through the stairwell to the ceiling. It was a bit dizzying but far less disorienting than the vertigo experienced taking the shot from the top looking down. I'll post that soon! 👍 . . . #Singapore #ChineseGarden #Singapore_IG #architecture #archdaily #archi_features #archilovers #architectureandpeople #travelgram #huffpostgram #travelblog #vscotravel #intrepidtravel #travelstoke #fotografiaunited #natgeotravel #passionpassport #cntraveler #bbctravel #natgeo #artofvisuals #agameoftones #spiralstaircase #igworldglobal #canon #mycanon #visitsingapore #wanderlust #exploremore (at Chinese Gardens, Singapore)

This place definitely has a Batcave in the basement. ********************************* These futuristic buildings are waterfront luxury apartments with panorama views of Mount Faber and Sentosa. It was designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, who also created the masterplan for the World Trade Center Memorial.
