Looking out through the porch of Llangelynin Old Church, high up on the edge of the Conwy Valley. The oldest parts of the church are 12th or 13th century.

I can feel in my heart that 2015 is going to be a wonderful year for travel and I honestly can’t think of another time in my life where I’ve felt so excited and optimistic about the future. We live in a beautiful world that’s just waiting to be explored and this year, I plan on seeking out new destinations that will challenge my senses and help to propel my photography in new directions. I also plan on post-processing many new images from my five year working archive, like this one from the stunning Provence region of Southern France.
Naomi and I visited this area last July and we instantly fell in love with the seemingly endless lavender fields. From a photographer’s standpoint, it’s a composition and leading line paradise where the color combinations never cease to impress. From a travelers eye, it’s almost unbelievable that this place actually exists and that it’s fully accessible to anyone who wants to visit. The only guardians to these lovely rows of fragrant lavender are the millions of buzzing bees that fill the air with a soft harmonious hum.
On a side note, after being stung 4 times, this was also the trip where I confirmed that I’m not allergic to bees, thankfully. ;)
#Repost @navidbaraty ・・・ Dreams of tomorrow • Fifty years ago today, humanity set foot for the first time on an unknown world 250,000 miles away–a place considered equally mysterious and unattainable for so long throughout human history. • While I wasn’t alive in 1969, I find myself longing for a time when boundaries between countries dissolve and we’re all united as humans in a moment that captures our imaginations. Because our curiosity and awe and wonder for space is innate to who we are. I can’t help but wonder when and where our next moment of equal magnitude will be, but I do hope it happens soon. . . . #moon #apollo11 #apollo50th #apollo11anniversary #travel #travelphotographer #moonlanding #blackandwhite #seattle #nasa #earthfocus #earthcapture #tlpicks #earthofficial #natgeotravel #pnw #bnw_captures #discoverearth #imaginarymagnitude #lonelyplanet #stayandwander #pnwonderland #beautifuldestinations #moodygrams #yourshotphotographer #bbctravel #passionpassport #visualsofearth #myfeatureshoot https://www.instagram.com/p/B0KKTkJBot6/?igshid=w9ctjkggwky9
