Welcome to Gaia! ::

I thought it might be fun to make a thread for posting & discussing travel-related art, photography, poetry, fiction, etc. ^_^ You can post your own art/photography/& or poetry here, & or someone else's (just make sure to give credit where credit is due - state who created the art in your post.) Have fun!

I will probably post some of my Dad's best pictures of the Philippines here - he is a very talented photographer. ^_^

Thanks for the compliment! biggrin I love doing stuff in Photoshop, and I had fun making it. ^_^ I'm such a perfectionist that I'll probably fiddle around with it a lot and tweak it to see if I can make it better. ^_^

Here's some pictures from when my family and I went to Banff last summer!

Well, this is just me being silly!


Brand new vehicle!


LOL! My brother, my dad and I were chasing a squirrel a minute or so before this picture was taken. rofl But, yes! We're at Cave & Basin! We had the entire place to ourselves that day!


Here's my brother and me above the hot spring pool. Mum and Dad didn't like me sitting up there, especially when there was three and a half stories between me and the ground. mrgreen


Here's a few shots of the architecture. Such a lovely building!





This is my brother and I hiding in a little cave under an outcropping of rock. I was like, "Ooo! Hole! *dives inside*"


This is a little waterfall at the end of a five-mile hike. We also went to another larger waterfall another ten miles up the mountain. It was gorgeous!


My brother, Dad and me up on the glacier at the Columbia Ice Fields!


A sequence of my bother and I sitting on some rocks. It was very bright...



This is the bus that we rode in to get to the top of the glacier! It was huge!


It was so incredible at the top! There were springs of fresh glacier water everywhere! It was the most pure, clean water I've ever tasted! It was also very cold up there, and as you can see, I was wearing only flip-flops. xd


Aww, and here's me and my mum in a gondola on the way to the top of the mountains. 4laugh


Well, that's it for now!

Cool pictures! Thanks for posting them Akitainu7! biggrin

I look forward to seeing them! biggrin

Here's a poem I wrote a few years ago - this is sort of travel-ish related, so I thought I'd post it:


Night on the Freeway

flying across the soft darkness
scattered across the hills are lights like stars fallen to earth
on the radio, a haunting melody pours fourth
music driving her on,
it pushes, it pursues her
with aching questions
that swirl around her
her lonely heart sees all the lights
and longs for one to call her own
for a heart that loves her and for a home
she wanders the world endlessly
wanders the world
alone
