Perhaps the essence of travel is discovering if your dreams are real. We conjure images of far-off locales based on what we read, hear or desire and spend a lot of time and effort searching to discover if the vision we see in our head can be matched by any form of reality.

As always - your photos are world class

We are looking forward to some warmer climates soon. Thanks for the nice compliments and reading, Ake!
