The rain has returned to southern British Columbia, so there might not be many more weekends left to go out hiking. Today, we’re going to show off the view from St Marks Summit, looking down towards Horseshoe Bay and the Sea to Sky highway. . . . #travel #vancouver #britishcolumbia #canada #hiking #cypress #cypressprovincialpark #stmarks #stmarkssummit #mountains #view #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #explorebc #imagesofcanada #parkscanada #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring Dreaming of our next adventure to Isla Holbox, one of Mexico’s most beautiful places. Located on the north of the Yucatan Peninsula, this island sits in the Gulf of Mexico, surrounded by white sand beaches and varying shades of blue water. This island is the definition of paradise. . . . #travel #mexico #holbox #islaholbox #island #islandlife #beachlife #quintanaroo #rivieramaya #vivemexico #gulfofmexico #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #travelblogger #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring The Winter Palace in St Petersburg was once the official residence of the Russian Monarchy (from 1732 until 1917) and was built to be one of the grandest palaces in Europe, to project power towards the rest of the continent. Today it houses priceless artwork as part of the Hermitage Museum and is the second largest museum in the world. . . . #travel #russia #stpetersburg #hermitage #hermitagemuseum #artwork #museum #palace #history #travelrussia #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #travelblogger #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring Climbing the stairs up to the top of the Pyramid of the Sun (the tallest Pyramid at Teotihuacan) is one of the most memorable things to do while visiting this amazing archeological site. It is one of the few pyramids you can still climb in Mexico, and from the top, there are some unforgettable views of the ancient city. . . . #travel #mexico #cdmx #teotihuacan #mexicocity #pyramid #stairs #archeology #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #vivemexico #visitmexico #photography #travelohotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring You know you’ve made it to a nice viewpoint when you find a handmade bench overlooking the valley. We found this spot along the Crater Rim trail at Loggers Lake (just outside of Whistler) during our hike last week. . . . #travel #vancouver #whistler #seatosky #britishcolumbia #canada #nature #natureisamazing #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #hiking #explorebc #imagesofcanada #dailyviewbc #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring “Giants” is a public art exhibit located on Granville Island. These 6 murals are 21 meters tall and has transformed the industrial concrete plant into a beautiful addition to Vancouver’s Waterfront. . . . #travel #vancouver #canada #streetart #murals #britishcolumbia #publicart #grafitti #granvilleisland #falsecreek #giants #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #dailyviewbc #imagesofcanada #explorebc #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring There are some unique places on this planet that you can visit that will make you feel as if you’ve stepped onto the surface of a different planet. The Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia was definitely one of those spots for us. . . . #travel #bolivia #salardeuyuni #uyuni #southamerica #travelsouthamerica #saltflats #beautifulplaces #boliviatravel #exploringtheglobe #nature #natureisamazing #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring Took some sunset pictures a few weeks ago along the Fraser River in Ladner and got a few artsy shots with the flowers along the riverbank. . . . #travel #vancouver #britishcolumbia #ladner #ladnerisaplace #fraserriver #sunset #sunsets #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #nature #natureisamazing #flowers #canada #imagesofcanada #livelovecanada #explorebc #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring This was just one of the many incredible memories from our trip to the Canadian Rockies last year, taken along the side of the road of the Icefields Parkway. . . . #travel #alberta #canada #canadianrockies #rockymountains #icefieldsparkway #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #jasper #jaspernationalpark #parkscanada #natureisamazing #imagesofcanada #canadasworld #livelovecanada #nature #mountains #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring Got inspired killing some time until I catch the next Ferry to Playa, life can be pretty cool when you take a moment to actually look around you and enjoy all that it’s out there: bright colors, different smells, sounds and noises you hear surrounding you. It’s totally up to you if you give it a moment to appreciate what everything it’s all about! . . . #killingtime #golondrinas #monuments #colors #blueskies #late #missedtheferry #cozumel #exploring #photooftoday #mexico #ilivewhereyouvacation #caribbean #gotinspired #travelaroundthegalaxy #swallow #letsgoadventuring #coolplaces Looking good Vancouver! The best place to take in the views of the city is from above, located at the lookout on the road up to Cypress Mountain in West Vancouver. This lookout allows you to see the whole city, with views of English Bay, Stanley Park, the skyscrapers of the downtown core as well as the other neighbouring municipalities that make up the Lower Mainland. . . . #travel #vancouver #cypresslookout #cypress #cypressprovincialpark #westvancouver #westvan #britishcolumbia #canada #views #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #livelovecanada #imagesofcanada #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring St Basil’s Cathedral is one of Moscow’s most recognizable buildings, located in the heart of Red Square next to the Kremlin. It was constructed between 1551-1561 by order of Tsar Ivan the Terrible to celebrate the victory of against the Kazan Khanate, and at the time was the tallest building in the city. . . . #travel #russia #moscow #stbasil #stbasilscathedral #redsquare #throwback #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #travelrussia #visitmoscow #cathedral #ivantheterrible #history #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring
