Beauty Takes Many Forms

When you get up to get dressed, you put on what you think looks cool or pretty, right? Well so do the people of The Omo Valley.

Frankly, I think this make up and stuff might make a better Halloween costume than the Commander from Halo.

Our Earth Changes Fast

I moved to Oregon soon after Mount St. Helens exploded.  It made for some pretty great sunsets.  But things keep changing on this planet of ours.  Look at how much this volcano changed between 2003 and 2006.  360 degree views no less.

Where We Are Not Going This Summer

Well maybe one summer we will get here.  I have never been, but I am glad I live in this age where I can have a 360 degree virtual tour of such wonders.

The Beauty Of The World (and Technology)

We were just in Siem Reap in Cambodia breathing in all the truly amazing temples.  It is truly one of the great sites.   I feel so fortunate that we got to take this trip.  I fear such travel will soon be a thing of the past (so to speak…).

Sitting in my hotel room this morning, reading the paper online, browsing the web, I came across the World Heritage Tour website.  It shows off the glory of technology pretty darn well too.  I have it set for Angkor but you can use it to visit many incredible places, including where we just were, and look 360 degrees, zoom in and out and all that jazz.   
Our trip was covered by a speaking engagement, but with the current price of travel and all the chaos peak oil will bring, this website is pretty swell toy to travel from your chair.
