Friday's Focus - 2020/11/27 - Travel

While Thanksgiving weekend is usually the busiest travel time of the year in the US, this year travelling is discouraged. So our focus this week is some virtual traveling! Share some images that were taken "far from home". Here are a few to get started,

1) The Sydney Harbor at Sunset - Australia


2) Sunset on the Yulong River - China


3) Pyramid and Camels - Egypt

Wow Kyle, you do get around. Very neat set.

Going back about a decade, to P&S in France. I was there for a seminar but had time to visit my favorite Provencal winery. The grapes are from there. The olive tree was on the grounds of where the seminar took place, and the one with the flowers was somewhere in Provence.

Fiji we had a palm leaf roofed cabin about 100ft from this beach.
