Posted on August 6, 2016 by bestregardsfromfar

Columbus Park in Chinatown is a meeting point for the Chinese community who gathers around pretty serious mahjong or card games.

Playing in the dunes! Ostriches were not the first birds we expected to see roaming the West Coast NP of South Africa. How cool is this?! . . . #south_africa #nature #wildlifephotography #birds #birdphotography #southafrica #ostrich #wildlife #keepwildlifeinthewild #dunes #animalsofinstagram #instanature #earth_pix #africa #surreal #travel #wanderlust #beauty #reallife

After observing some fantastic wildlife in the West Coast National Park South Africa, we stopped for a little coffee break at a small restaurant enjoying the quite cute Cape Weavers around us. This little guy came closer and closer and went for whatever we ate with our coffee. We never feed any wildlife and for good reasons. Its eyes changed and it became very agressive after sneakily stealing some cake from our plate. The by now angry bird knew no fear! Apparently the birds around the coffee shop are sugar addicts with a crazy change in behaviour! With the wind blowing strong that day, this experience resulted in quite a funny photo though. . . . #keepwildlifewild #capeweaver #birdsofinstagram #instabird #southafrica #wildlifephotography #wildlife #texture #feathers #travel #wildlifeofinstagram #nature #westcoastnationalpark #capetown #birds #naturephotography #birdphotography #birdsofafrica #angrybirds

Meet the Cape Sugarbird!! We encountered this beauty on the slopes of Table Mountain in world’s most biodiverse city: Cape Town. This bird is endemic to the Fynbos and found in the Eastern and Western Cape of South Africa. The bird was feeding on the sweet nectar of this Protea Flower (South Africa’s National flower). One of the wonderful encounters in nature 😍 . . . #birds #nature #birdsofinstagram #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #birdphotographer #capetown #capesugarbird #proteaflower #fynbos #naturelover #southafrica #meetsouthafrica #birdsofafrica #earth_pix #hiking #tablemountaincapetown

Mountain biking on the border of the Mojave and Great Basin desert was one of the highlights of what we have experienced during our USA trip so far... !🏜 From stunning viewpoints to demanding single tracks, blooming cactuses 🌵 to observing wildlife... the desert was absolutely deserted, wild and rugged and with nobody out there it seriously made us feel how vulnerable we are as human beings. A fantastic experience! Check our latest article on our website to find out more about the tracks, location, and how to set this up yourself! Never stop traveling! Never stop exploring! . . . #saintgeorgeutah #bicyclesunlimited #bicycles_unlimited #experienceutah #utahmountainbiking #mountainbiking #desertlandscape #desertlife #travel #sports #naturelover #actionpacked #wearetravelgirls #travelwriter #explore #outdoors #instabikers #mountain_biking #vtt #usaroadtrip #holidays

Can you believe these colors? 😍 During one of the hikes in the remote area of the stunning Yosemite NP the water and the sun came up with this this treat to the eye! 🌈 Literally a bright start of the day! . . . #rainbow #rainbow🌈 #instarainbow #rainbowsofinstagram #nature #naturelovers #nature_perfection #nofilter #earth #earth_pix #wanderlust #hiking #yosemitenationalpark #usa #travelwriter #awesome_earthpix #earthfocus #canon

“The Earth laughs in flowers” - Ralph Waldo Emerson In these gorgeous slides: desert flowers 🌵 ☀️ 🏜! It has rained quite a bit in the deserts of the USA this spring and the much needed water caused a super-bloom 😍 (An advantage and great reward after living through the unexpected rain on our Cataract Canyon expedition!) Enjoy these rare photos of cactuses tainting the desert like a painter’s palette 🎨 • • • #travelgram #flowers #flowery #instaflower #flor #flora #desert #desertflowers #cactus #instaearth #instanature #naturephotography #naturelovers #usa #natgeoyourshot #earth #smile #beauty #love #spring #archesnationalpark #joshuatreenationalpark #colorful #flowerstagram #photography #happy #loveit

It’s not always about standing out, sometimes blending in can be good. Taking in the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon where the snow has just melted. • • • #travelgram #xputah #utah #usa #roadtrip #brycecanyon #brycenationalpark #earthpix #wanderlust #explore #chameleon #travel #travelforreal #travelwriter #wearetravelgirls #utahoutdoors #traveletting #outdoors #viewpoint #contemplative #followme

Mountains are there to be conquered. No matter how high, tough, steep, slippery or rocky. Where there is a will, there is a way... • • • In this photo, overlooking Zion NP (photos of the view will follow soon so hit that follow button 🤗), we left the crowds behind, pushing further than the view that was supposed to be good enough. What the toughest mountain you have ever climbed? • • • #travelgram #zionnationalpark #mountains #mountainspirit #eindevandewereld #hiking #hikingadventures #explore #conqueryourmind #travelforreal #travel #travelblogger #travelphotography #blueskies #followme #followus #adventure #beautifulview #utahgram #xputah #outdoors #climbinggirls

Have you ever wondered what the vineyards where some of the best Californian wines come from look like? Well, like this! ⬆️😍 We visited the fertile Salinas Valley where the flat agricultural land merges with the rolling hills where some of the best grapes of the country are grown. The welcoming chill morning fog and breeze from nearby Monterey Bay are followed by warm afternoons when farmlands are bathed in the sun. Ideal for the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir! 🍇 • Quieter than the Sonoma and Napa Valley, we found the Saint Lucia Highlands the perfect location for a romantic weekend getaway. 🥰 • Curious? Check our website for the full article (type wine in the search field of www.BestRegardsFromFar.com) • Thank you @behindthesceneswinetours for your excellent guiding through the vineyards and for having us discover the fantastic wines🍷made in your wonderful valley! • • • #travelgram #winetasting #winery #winetime #winecountry #wine #winestagram #winelover #wineoclock #winetour #travel #travelforreal #exploring #vineyard #earthpix #trees #salinascalifornia #california #roadtrip #contrast #landscapephotography #usa
