Huge Bubble

HugeBubbleCopenhagen, Denmark – 2016 – Canon 50D

As we walked along Copenhagen’s walking street, we saw a man playing with bubbles. They were so big and fun! Later as we passed by him again, children were chasing the bubbles and popping them!  I wanted to get a photograph with some bikes and a bubble.  I had to wait for a little bit because the children were having so much fun, but I finally got this photo!

We took a fun cruise around the canal’s of Copenhagen, it was really enjoyable! It was Queen Margarethe II’s birthday, while we were there, so that is why there are so many flags on their yacht.

Cruising on the Yangtze River

China

On a trip to China in 2008, we took a cruise up the Yangtze River.  Some of the highlights were; going up the locks to the top of the dam, after a good nights sleep, watching the sunrise on the river and meeting the wonderful Chinese people!  It was an awesome adventure!

The Marble Boat

When visiting China in 2008, we went to the Summer Palace.  It consists of many gardens & many lakes and it is gorgeous.  At the Summer Palace is found The Marble Boat built in 1750 A.D. during the Qing Dynasty.  Obviously, the boat cannot float, it was used by Empress Cixi for lakeside dining and receptions.

Hot Air Balloons

In 2007, while staying at our cabin, I walked out on our deck and looking way down into the Heber Valley, I could see a Hot Air Balloon flying by.  Can you see it?  That is Mount Timpanogos in the background.

Golden Spike National Historic Site

Promontory Point, Utah

When we have company from afar, we take them to Golden Spike National Historic Site at Promontory Point.  In 2006, we took our visitors to see the re-enactment of the driving of the ‘Golden Spike’ which allowed the Jupiter (Central Pacific Railroad) and 119 (Union Pacific Railroad) to come together.  This occurred on May 10, 1869 and changed our nation.

Durres, Albania

I thought for the next few days I’d show you some beautiful photos of Albania. We were privileged to go there in 2005 with our daughter who served an LDS Mission in Albania. What a wonderful experience it was as we meet the lovely people of Albania and felt her love for this ancient country!

I have always ENJOYED taking photos of bikes and this trip to England in 2004 was no exception. Brighton is a fun, quaint town right on the English Channel. This was a fun shot with the Brighton Pier in the background.
