Indian monkeys, cows and temples

2010-11-05T17:26:00.000-07:00

India is an interesting place indeed. The locals are generally very friendly and some of the food amazing.

The thing that I admire most about India though is what other country in the world has cows on the rooftops.

Ireland Beauty

2010-11-04T15:54:00.000-07:00

Hello to my lovely followers and new readers, thought today I would share with you some pictures of one of the most beautiful places on earth (well I think so anyway). Its something you dont see a whole lot of and from what I have seen isn't covered a whole lot by most travel documentaries, books etc.

A review of bidvertiser.

2010-11-03T21:18:00.000-07:00

Hi guys you may have noticed that on my blog I have chosen to display advertisements.
After hearing numerous horror stories about google adsense I decided that I would create an account with them but not really rely on it. I went on the hunt for other ppc hosts.

I came across bidvertiser. They seem to do a great job, with mostly relevant ads to the topics on your blogs and good earning potential. Now I never expected to earn a living from placing ads on my blog page, but abit of spare pocket change couldn't hurt I figured. Anyway at the start of this month I found a nice surprise in my paypal account of $70 from bidvertiser.

I thought I would give fellow bloggers a heads up on a decent company and if you were looking to use them then simply follow this link and sign up, they have a range of different ads you can place, banners, skyscrapers etc. They have minmum $10 payout and they payout at the first of each month.

Just click on the bidvertiser picture below to be taken to the sign up page. Good luck bloggers!(yes it can be used at the same time as adsense)

Some Grizzly Bear Pictures

2010-11-02T16:58:00.000-07:00

Man I love bears. They look so amazing when in the wild so I thought I would share some pictures of some Grizzly's with you all.

Something about ghosts and adf.ly

2010-11-01T20:32:00.000-07:00

Ghosts, and the paranormal have always been an interest of mine. I have never had a belief that they were real, it was always more the why do so many people report it and whats the science behind it.

I have visited a number of haunted houses, cemeteries etc over my years of travel and have never experienced anything for my self, after taking countless pictures and no anomolies I came to the conclusion that its all in the peoples heads.

Anyway I came across this interesting article on cracked that explains a the science behind a number of paranormal activities.

I have also decided to use adf.ly for linking purposes on the blog. If you follow a link the website will just have an ad banner at the top, you can close this banner or leave it. They are non intrusive and no pop-ups. If you are interested in using adf.ly links on your blog please use me as a referral to sign up under the following link.

Cape Town South Africa

2010-10-26T19:13:00.000-07:00

Something I thought would be abit of fun

2010-10-06T21:17:00.000-07:00

Hey guys heading away on a trip soon and was thinking of an interesting thing to do with the blog while I was away.

I came up with idea to take pictures and upload them throughout the trip and have you guys guess where about I am. I should be able to update every three days or so with a load of pics and you guys can post your guesses.

Let me know if you would be interested in this idea.

Heres some pictures from croatia.

Busy week

2010-09-22T17:43:00.000-07:00

After such a great time at my companies conference, where I had minibar paid for, exquiset food and beaches surrounding- I've landed back with a pile of work on my desk. Multiple clients wondering where I have been for the past week after explicitly telling them I would be away.

People are amazing sometimes, I let them know well in advance that I would be away and uncontactable. I made sure all the work I could do up to that point would be done. Of course though they didnt get there part of the job done and it's my fault. Unfortunatly I took the precausion to warn everybody that I would be away, so they have no leg to stand on.

Just to kick them in the teeth a little I made sure that our email conversations were forwarded throughout the company, I don't expect anything out of it but at least these few people will be known to try and weasel their ways out of work.

Some more street art

2010-09-15T20:06:00.000-07:00

This is some more street art following on from another post I made.

Please enjoy.

I love the designs that encompass a whole wall.

Extended.

2010-09-13T03:25:00.000-07:00

Looks like they have extended the conference I'm attending by another 2 days. At least they have put me up in a nice hotel with the minibar payed for.

For those that were interested its a it security conference for my company, have been with them for a 6 years and every 2 years, we have a big meet and greet with the superiors and discuss the latest security measures available and plan future rollouts, budgeting etc... quite boring to be honest, but pays well and allows me to travel all around the world.

The other plus is the meals being provided are fantastic, usually its just sandwhiches, rolls, and generally plain tasteless junk. This year they have provided nachos, roasts (lamb, pork), and deserts.

I did make it down to the beach during a lunch break and caught a nice picture of a sand-pumping jetty and some shells.

Out of town for a few days

2010-09-09T17:04:00.001-07:00

Hey guys wont be an update to the blog for at least two days as I'm heading to a conference.
Will have lots of picture updates for you when I get back though.

Thanks for all the support.

Some Monkeys from brazil

2010-09-07T21:40:00.000-07:00

These little guys were great just hanging around outside the hostel, wanting bananas. However I was watching a wild life documentary one night and discovered they are actually quite aggressive little fellows.

Oh well cute to look at and fun to feed bananas too! Was funny watching them steal some fellow travelers loaf of bread and getting yelled at in german.

Haunted Towns/ Houses

2010-09-07T02:48:00.000-07:00

Hey guys wondering if anyone knew of any cool haunted spots around the world?

Argentina

2010-09-05T17:45:00.000-07:00

Heres some pictures from an Argentinian cemetery, very eerie but beautiful place.

Uraguay

2010-09-03T17:26:00.000-07:00

Just a quick update with some pictures from Uraguay.

Wallpapers

2010-09-02T00:51:00.000-07:00

In my spare time I love taking picutes. I have alot of photographs that I and people I know use for desktop wallpapers. When not posting about travel I will upload pictures that I feel would suit the purpose of being a desktop background.

Most are nature scenes, some of the night sky aswell as some of city and urban exploration. I have hundreds of them and will post about them with select few each week, and at the end of the week I will upload a compressed file with fifty of the best. You will be able to download the compressed file and pic out your favorites or just have a browse through them.

May even do some reviews on cameras and equipment best suited for travel, and or just general purpose photography.

Machu Pichu Summit

2010-09-01T17:39:00.000-07:00

Ok here they are pics from the summit. You can see from the pictures that it wasn't the ideal day, but it was still breathtaking and I even think the cloud cover added a little mystery to the ancient place of Machu Pichu.

I cant recommend going here enough, its such an experience and sense of accomplishment when you make it to the top, seriously a top of the world feeling. Almost spiritual.

Some Pictures of Machu Pichu

2010-08-31T22:24:00.000-07:00

This was very interesting, on the way to machu pichu there was a land slide so the bus could not get us to where they needed to start the hike. So we dared walk through jungle, on train tracks, over wooden bridges. It was all worth it however and an excellent experience, albeit a little cloudy when we reached the top.

Will make another post with pictures of the summit.

Poll added

2010-08-30T22:00:00.000-07:00

Hey guys currently uploading some pictures of a trip to China. In the meantime I have created a poll you can vote on. I couldn't include all the countries I wanted in the poll but leave a comment if the country you would have voted for isn't on the poll.

Personally I think Africa has the best wildlife on offer because it has such a diverse range. Lots of deadly predators a huge array of birds and even fish.

My personal pick though would have to be the King.
