weekly photo challenge: abandoned

Posted on Updated on

We really couldn’t go past the ghost town of Kayakoy in Turkey for the Weekly Photo Challenge . This was an Anatolian village inhabited by approximately 2000 Greeks, who abandoned the village in 1923 to return to Greece. Kayakoy is about 8 km out of Fethiye.

weekly photo challenge: threes

We learnt about the 3-picture story this week from The Daily Post and that turns out to be the theme for the photo challenge.

This photo story is from our visit to the Yungang Grottoes in China.

weekly photo challenge: treasure

The Weekly Photo Challenge asked us what we treasure….

We treasure each other and our families of course. But for this challenge, we are showing another thing we treasure: the world around us.

The one experience that we both hold dear is when we were able see Lonesome George in his last months on earth. Lonesome George was the last of the Pinta Island tortoises and is the Galapagos Island conservation icon.

He represents to us how precious and vulnerable nature is and how much we need to treasure it!
