I am fascinted by this Google maps timeline that I've recently discovered and according to where I was 3 years ago today (20th August), I was in Chester, UK. So here is a photo of one of the most amazing stained glass windows I've ever seen, found at Chester Cathedral - a really stunning cathedral
'Aspiration' - a hope or ambition of achieving something. My latest plan of achieving something is that I have a week off coming up soon and I am looking forward to exploring more of South East Queensland by going on some day trips around the area. What about you? Are you looking forward to something or aiming to achieve something?
Ever had one of those days where you start out with good intentions & plans for the day but then it gets to 1.30pm & you haven't even gotten dressed yet? Well today is one of those days HOWEVER I have managed to edit my photos from the lavender farm visit the other day and finished a blog post about said lavender farm so I guess I have accomplished something, right? P.S yes this swing at the lavender farm with the cute chapel in the background is very instagramable however I am not so that is why there is no one at all in the shot! Oh and if you want, you can check out the blog post at www.kiwiontheloose.com or click on the link in my bio.
So Katie over at @weirdtravelfriend posted about her favourite bridge and asked if anyone else had one. I mentioned that I loved the Forth Rail Bridge in Edinburgh & then this morning I realised that it has been 3 years since I visited Edinburgh for the first time and saw said bridge. I can remember watching a documentary years ago about the construction of the Forth bridge (I know.. riveting life I lead!) and it had been on my bucket list since. When I got my first glimpse my jaw dropped and I audibly "wow"ed .. then I got to do a boat trip & saw the bridge from all kinds of angles. It was definitely a highlight of my first foray into Scotland.
#tbt to that one time in 2010 when I pretended I was a proper photographer & went to the carpark over the road from the EKKA* & set myself up with my tripod & then DLSR (I say 'then' coz I no longer have one) to get shots of the nightly fireworks *EKKA is Brisbane's country comes to town exhibitions show that happens for about 10 days every August.
I drove past this old abandoned servo (Aussie for 'service station') .. I had to turnaround and go back to take some photos (of course)
