I  completed a 18 day trip to Namibia with a short layover in Doha, Qatar - it was was another of those “bucket list” trips that was in the top five places I wanted to visit and photograph.  The actual trip involved driving approximately 1,600 miles (2,600 kilometers) starting in Windhoek.  I explored Sossusvlei, Deadvlei, the Skeleton Coast, the sand dunes outside Luderitz, Walvis Bay - home of one of the world’s best surfing breaks (Donkey Bay but it was flat) and the Zeila shipwreck. A great trip!

And my friend, Chris from Travelous, posted some new independent travel trips (just the way I like to travel) to Iceland.  They look great, are very reasonably priced, and I think I’ll have to go to the Faroe Islands.  It’s always been on my bucket list.  Anyone want to join me?  Maybe even some free photo lessons.

I finally checked another box on my bucket list of places to visit - Chernobyl.  I’ve been talking about visiting Ukraine (the birth home of my grandfather on my father’s side), and I finally did it.  I flew from Los Angeles to London, overnighted in London due to connections to Kiev, and the next day had a 3½ hour flight to Kiev.  Now the first part of my journey was completed.  After spending two nights in Kiev (a big city with a population of approximately 3,000,000) it was finally off to Chernobyl.  More photos here.  (I was very fortunate to visit before the invasion of Ukraine by Putin.  It’s a beautiful country)
