It’s been far too long since we last checked
in with our friend Carl Parkes (aka Friskodude), whose writings/ramblings
related to travel never cease to entertain, and whose
photos will impress you beyond measure. He opens today with a rather interesting mini-essay on Brokeback Mountain,
but then gets into more travel-related posts, which more often than not focus on Asia, as he seems to be quite the
Asiaphile. But as I say, always peppered throughout, and easily viewed on his Flickr site, the photos are amazing. We
wish we had both his talent and his time to travel.
