Photo of the Week - Navy Pier, Exmouth

As my trip is coming to an end, I have decided to feature one picture that for me represents one month of travelling. 
This week's picture was taken in May during a dive in a site called Navy Pier, in Exmouth, one of the Top10 dives in the world

There again, a difficult choice. May was Exmouth's month, and there I snorkelled at Oyster Bay, swam with a whale shark, and dived in Navy Pier, but the latter is definitely the most striking memory I have about the place. Sure, the whale shark was impressive, but Navy Pier was simply breathtaking, and that says a lot when you're under water. The visibility was amazing, we got to see some nurse sharks, and the colors... splendid.

Photo of the Week - Kalbarri at sunset

As my trip is coming to an end, I have decided to feature one picture that for me represents one month of travelling. 
This week's picture was taken at the end of April during a sunset cruise on the mouth of the Kalbarri river, in Western Australia

Again, it was a tough choice, as I had to choose between all my favorite places in Western Australia, but this wonderfully colorful sunset appeared the obvious choice rather quickly, and not only because, if I may say so myself, it's a beautiful picture, but also because Kalbarri will always have a special place in my heart. There I met some wonderful friends, and I spent one of the most amazing times of my year of travelling.

Photo of the Week - Fuji-san

As my trip is coming to an end, I have decided to feature one picture that for me represents one month of travelling. 
This week's picture was taken in March from the 5-lake region of Mount Fuji

This is probably the toughest choice I will have to make for the POTW post. I mean, I had to choose between Thailand, Angkor Ha, and every lovely temple in Japan. But in the end, I chose this one, because Fuji-san is the rightful symbol of Japan, and Japan was personnally the most striking of the three countries I've visited in March, simply because I've wanted to go there for years.

The photo was taken from the bus that links Tokyo to Fuji-san. I was desperate because the weather so far was horrible, but as soon as we passed the tunnel, the sky was blue, and there was this very photogenic cloud above the volcano, my first view of it with my own eyes. As one of the passengers of the bus said: "Sugoi".

Photo of the Week - Friendly Beaches

As my trip is coming to an end, I have decided to feature one picture that for me represents one month of travelling. 
This week's picture was taken in February from Friendly Beaches, on the East Coast of Tasmania

For reasons I don't quite explain, that picture moves me much more than any I've taken in Tasmania. I have beautiful pictures of Cradle Mountain, Hobart and Wineglass Bay, but this is clearly my favorite. It was on a tour from Hobart to Wineglass Bay, and on the way back, as the rain started to pour, we stopped just for a moment at this secluded beach, and given the weather, we were the only ones there. It made for a very romantic set.

I also like the picture for its balance. The foreground is present but not invasive, whereas the background diffuses its poetic atmosphere.
