Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia. Another one for the list of places to visit… For now it’ll have to be via Google Images

Here are some photos to keep you entertained in the mean time - http://timpho.to/TimPhotoStream - c/o iOS 6’s slick new Photo Stream feature

Þingvellir, Iceland - a week ago today…

P.S. You’d be forgiven for thinking that I had processed this shot with filters etc. But this is actually all natural like - or in the words of In Living Color: “Homie don’t play dat!”

Frozen Lake, Meðalfellsvatn, Iceland

I’ve been in Iceland the past couple weeks hence the lack of photos (on here at least ;)… I’ll post shots tomorrow. In the mean time, here’s a shot of some steamy icicles from a nearby geysir, not just any geysir - the original geysir in a place called Geysir!

I’m planning a 2 week trip to Iceland over New Year… Looks like it could turn out to be even more exciting than it already is: BBC News are reporting that an epic volcanic eruption is imminent / long overdue

Goats in trees, Morocco. Pretty surreal…

Sound artist, Laurent Jeanneau, is my new hero. Spending the last decade or so recording ‘traditional / world’ music in and around South East Asia, he has amassed a vast collection of fascinating recordings with the primary intent, not on documentation, but inspiration and source material for his own works

“By taking the listener to unknown remote regions of our planet and mixing it with contemporary electronic sounds, Laurent’s work as a collage artist becomes highly engaging, presenting an old world, an unknown world, and a place so far away from our cultural references that one has difficulty describing the sounds that they hear. Repeated listens only re-enforced the deep hypnotic vibes that, in my opinion, are unequalled in the so-called genre of ‘globe trotting psychedelia’.” - Discrepant

An aerial view of Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses c/o Google Maps. Best seen between July and September, this unique watery desert in the state of Maranhão (North Eastern Brazil) is now officially on my travel list! Unfortunately during my last trip to Brazil I only got as far North as Salvador de Bahia before running out of time! More photos by Tony Galvez
