So here’s an interesting photo today. These are Hawaiian palm trees, the sky is so blue...I am sure there is a song about that...Anyway it’s Friday and that’s as good a reason as any to sit back and enjoy the view! See similar and more posts on Hawaii and all kinds of other places on www.mybrittrip.com. Alternatively, checkout my previous Instagram posts. #hawaii #palmtrees #bluesky #tropical #tropicalparadise #www.mybrittrip.com @brittrip2017 @rgtmum #tgif #Friday #beach #vacation #holiday

Inspired by recent events (see previous posts), my contribution today is this idyllic beach scene. I hope you enjoy it and it makes your day more serene and tranquil...

Downtown Portland, Oregon today. I am always amazed at my lack of photos considering how often I go here. Anyway here are four, top left is the Willamette River at Waterfront Park, bottom left is the Riverplace Marina, bottom right is the Portland Farmers Market on the Park Blocks and top right is the almost brand new Tillikum Bridge across the Willamette River. Anyway, there are so many other things to photograph I should probably get a few more views and cool downtown scenes. What is Portland most famous for? The Trailblazers NBA team, the MLS Portland Timbers soccer team, Voodoo Doughnuts, craft breweries, food carts and food in general, Powell’s Bookstore, Portlandia - so many things. There is also a wealth of information on Portland, but the official city website is Travel Portland https://www.travelportland.com Fun Fact: In 1845, Portland was named by the toss of a coin. It was either going to be Boston (Massachusetts) or Portland (Maine)... Also to see my short film (28mins) on the historical rivalry between Portland and surrounding cities, check out Ambition and Dirty Tricks, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GfB6ElbBLbY&feature=youtu.be #portland #portlandoregon #oregon #powellsbooks #voodoodoughnuts #foodcarts #foodcartspdx #willametteriver #riverplacemarina #portlandfarmersmarket #portlandsaturdaymarket #downtownportland #holiday #vacation @brittrip2017 @rgtmum #www.mybrittrip.com #ambitionanddirtytricks

🌴🏝 An old photo today. While probably not considered vintage quite yet, this photo is about forty years old. It is the beach at Moonlight Bay which is just south of Mombasa, Kenya and just north of the popular tourist beach at Diani. Way back in the day this was a beautiful and serene spot next to the Indian Ocean, hopefully it still is! For information on all kinds of Kenya holidays visit www.porini.com, a local tour operator with offices on the US and UK. For more general info on Kenya see https://www.lonelyplanet.com/kenya or Kenya Tourism http://www.magicalkenya.com Fun Fact: Besides beautiful coastline, Kenya has 45 National Parks, supporting all the famous wildlife. Check out my post Undersea World for an amusing anecdote about the Kenya Coast. www.mybrittrip.com @brittrip2017 @rgtmum #kenya #beach #kenyacoast #dianibeach #vacation #holiday #beacholiday #oldphoto #indianocean #www.mybrittrip.com #mombasa

I thought I would do a comparison of Waimea Falls on Oahu, Hawaii, exactly thirty years apart. The picture on the left is 1988, the picture on the right 2018. Don’t they look similar? Really not much difference after thirty years. The only significant difference is that there were cliff divers in 1988, an attraction that was discontinued in the 1990’s. You can see some of them in the water in the photo on the left. Today though, it is possible for anyone to swim there, as long as a life jacket is worn. For more on the Falls today, see my post Waimea and Hibiscus https://wp.me/p95jad-Bx #waimeafalls #oahu #hawaii #waterfall #1988 #2018 #vacation #holiday #mybrittrip #www.mybrittrip.com @brittrip2017 @rgtmum #thirtyyears #brittrip2017

👣👣Just a nice picture for Sunday. As I have posted all kinds of beachy info already, just check out www.mybrittrip.com for Dogs in a Surfboard North Coast Hawaii Beach Quiz Surfing Islands in the Sea and more for all kinds of info!
