Ancient People in an Ancient Land: the San of Namibia (part 1)

http://www.skjtravel.net/welcome/index.php/component/content/article/311-ancient-people-land-san-of-namibia

Articles/Guest Posts by SKJ. Ancient People in an Ancient Land: the San of Namibia (part 1). Content warning: If for some freaky reason you can’t handle or don’t appreciate indigenous nudity, then this post is not for you. That the curtain of time feels thin here, the past profoundly tangible. But on further reflection, maybe that quiet feeling of the profound isn’t because the curtain is thin, rather, in fact, the issue is that it’s so. This photo below happens to be my favorite of all the photos I took...

Namibia - Vleis of Death and Life: Sossusvlei to Epupa

http://www.skjtravel.net/welcome/index.php/component/content/article/310-dead-vlei-to-epupa-falls-namibia

Articles/Guest Posts by SKJ. Namibia - Vleis of Death and Life: Sossusvlei to Epupa. I mentioned in the previous post. That even the moon was remarkable in the vast country of Namibia, that it seemed so close to Earth we could drive right into it, as it rose, for a picnic. And so here we are. You probably didn’t know that scrubby little trees grow on the moon and that parts of it are red. We’d spent the early morning among the graceful red Sossusvlei dunes. Did I mention they were red? I wonder what even...

Ambling Through Scenic Andorra

http://www.skjtravel.net/welcome/index.php/component/content/article/324-ambling-scenic-andorra

Articles/Guest Posts by SKJ. Ambling Through Scenic Andorra. I imagined the country of Andorra would be a bit provincial when the directions to our studio rental said to drive through Andorra until we reached Canillo, turn left at a particular sign and then please look for a public telephone booth which is the only one in this town. Behind is the entrance. One time, though, we saw a little ruin on a hillside and drove on a slightly rocky dirt road and parked in a grassy field to explore it. I would have ...

Articles/Guest Posts by SKJ. Barcelona, Spain: Museums of the Masters. Valentine's Day jewelry, no? Nothing says romance like a brooch of skulls. Below are a couple of my favorite paintings. And here we have a ceiling fresco in the Palace of the Wind . kind of like a Dali Sistine Chapel, ha. Maybe not such a benevolent heaven here . we are about to be stomped on! But in a joyous manner, claims Dali. The feet in blue are his (notice his moustache at the top), and the feet in red his wife, Gala's. Gaudi co...

Friday Photo

http://www.skjtravel.net/welcome/index.php/component/content/article/230-friday-photo

Articles/Guest Posts by SKJ. Please note that most of the photos can be viewed at a larger size by opening in a new tab (right-click). Major throwback here . This is a photo from my first trip abroad in which I ever had a digital camera. I don't even know what the resolution is, but something we would find laughably low now. I think it was a Canon S40? Never met one that I know of; met some holy people but that's not the same thing. Green? I'm really quite fond of this photo, to be honest. I didn't r...
