I’ve always associated maritime culture with hoards of tourists — a sign that when I head to the shore, I tend to visit places that are far too mainstream and popular. So suffice it to say, I’m no expert on coastal communities but to me, this photo captures the essence of maritime life — isolated, gloomy and yet still take-your-breath-away beautiful. It was taken on Holy Island (also called Lindisfarne) off the shore of Northumberland. Thanks to Our Man Where for sharing.

This was taken a few days ago by Coralee Skoch, down in Key West. She took part in the Key West Race Week, and here are a few boats coming in after a long day of sailing. I just love the way the setting sun shines through the sails.

When I lived in France, I made sure to try every single pastry available. I took me most of my stay there to get through them all, but sampling those sweet delicacies was a highlight of my trip. This photo, taken by Annie White in Paris, takes me back to those winter days in France where I would warm myself up with a café creme and pain au chocolat fresh out of the oven.

This shot by Kevinlin034 brought to mind a few of my encounters with children when I’ve traveled. Doesn’t this child’s face make you want to make the same face back? Watching kids haul stools and serve food is quite common in family run businesses in Asia. I don’t know if this is a young child who is pulling up a stool for himself, or if he’s been put to work. Someone has just finished lunch. Considering this was taken in Taiwan, I bet it was delicious.

One of the composition qualities I like here is the repetition of red. Notice the line that goes from the stacked stools in the back to the red of the stool in the foreground. The adults in the background aren’t even noticing this scene.

I’m not a crazy sports fan or anything, but few things remind me more of my travels in the UK than football. So I love the contrast of dreary old-world architecture and colourful new-world football fanaticism in this photo from Edinburgh, taken by Annie White. Thanks for the photo, Annie!
