Photo Friday: New Zealand
Friday, September 21st, 2012

Today’s Photo Friday comes from Meet, Plan, Go! New York panelist Cate Starmer. Cate writes:

This was a lunch break on day two of The Routeburn Track, one of New Zealand’s Nine Great Walks. I did part or all of seven multi-day routes, hiking during the day between back country huts. The Routeburn started with some impossibly green forests before we ascended and were surrounded by spectacular alpine vistas like this view of the Darran Mountains.

Friday, September 14th, 2012

Today’s Photo Friday comes from Meet, Plan, Go! Austin panelist  Greg Davis.

Greg captured the shot earlier this year on a train trestle over the Yamanu River in Mathura, India.  He says, “I see the image as a juxtaposition of time, a meeting, the crossroads of progress and tradition.  The clean industrial lines enveloping the biblical like character speak to our ever need to continue to move forward while at the same time honoring our past.”
