i got bored one day and created these facebook cover photos and now they've kinda become a thing. now every time i go somewhere, near or far, i try to get in a picture so that i can bookmark it with coordinates to remember.
by far my favorite has to be the first picture. it was taken in 2010 during our honeymoon in maui. it was right when we arrived on top of haleakala mountain to watch the sunrise. i looked ahead and i just saw this amazing silhouette of a bunch of people waiting.
just so i can live vicariously through you, what are some of the most breathtaking things you saw while traveling?
oh and have a great weekend! yangkyu has a dentist appointment. but he doesn't dread them at all {i envy that part about him}. i am also craving a banana split ice cream! haven't had those in like a zillion years.

I love all of them, Jane:) And travelling, no matter, where, is always such a great experience, eh? Seeing the Eiffel Tower(Paris) and the Hollywood sign(LA) were both awe-inspiring for me, for different reasons.
ReplyDeleteHave a fab weekend!
i remember when i saw the hollywood sign for the first time too!
DeleteSuper fun travel tradition! Hope i can do something like this someday myself. Thank you for sharing, they are breath taking.
ReplyDeletethank you! hope you get to do something similar as well!
DeleteGorgeous photos and neat idea! I have fond memories of seeing deers walk up close to us while my dad was driving through a windy road in Yosemite, CA. Oh, and the beaches in North Shore in Hawaii were so clean and gorgeous, Danny & I saw a small school of fish come up to our feet! The main crosswalk in Shibuya, Japan was nuts because it was jam packed with people, yet no one bumped into one another. Going to Nagasaki, Japan (my mother's home town) was another favorite of mine, for many reasons.
ReplyDeletethese places all sound amazing! i definitely want to see the crosswalk in shibuya. and i remember going to my mom's hometown as well in korea and it was such a remarkable feeling.
DeleteI really really love this idea, wow, and your photos are *incredible*, as usual. I love the composition of standing with your back to the camera and the location in front of you. :)
ReplyDeleteFun idea! Paris is one of my favorite cities cause everywhere you look it's like a picture postcard.
ReplyDeleteRowena @ rolala loves
i would love to see paris in person one day :)
DeleteThese FB cover series looks really nice c: I hope it build up even more!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I go, even it's just a small town a few kilometers away, I can
appreciate it still c:
I hate dentist, so definitely envy Yangkyu as well......... Xx
oh I am so envious of this. We have not traveled much at all and I would love to one day create anything similar. =D In fact, "fun" fact is that we have not yet taken a proper honeymoon! We got married in the midst of a lot of things going on and then time keeps passing. We need to just do it! hehe

hope you get to go on your honeymoon soon! and we haven't traveled a lot either. we hope to make up for it little by little!
DeleteNice idea! :] Should try that when I'm in Budapest.
ReplyDeleteneat!
DeleteWhat a great idea! I might try to steal it this weekend while I'm sight seeing with my brother.
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really cool way of capturing trips! I've never been out of the country, but I've traveled a lot within the US. I really loved Ocean Drive in Miami and Williamsburg, Virginia.
ReplyDeletei remember going to williamsburg in the 8th grade! we plan on going in august!
Deletethis is a beautiful idea, Jane!
ReplyDeletethanks laura!
DeleteOoh these are so nice! I like to have travel pics for my cover photos too, mostly views like from the Empire State!
ReplyDeletethe view from on top of empire state is amazing!
DeleteLove these, I like the first with the silhouettes too!
ReplyDeletethank you! that is my favorite photo from our time in maui
DeleteThese are really lovely, the first one is just awesome. The most breathtaking thing I saw is Taj Mahal. I even weeped a little!
ReplyDeleteKatrina Sophia Blog
thank you! taj mahal sounds wonderful!
DeleteBeautiful photographs <3
ReplyDeletethese are fantastic Jane - you're such a great photographer - I want to think of an amazing site I've seen traveling but I'm left with a blank head - oops :P
ReplyDeleteThe mountains are definitely my thing and I can't compare that feeling with anything else, they took my heart forever. A few days ago I tried climbing ferrata and it is also an outstanding feeling. U should try it once!:) And if I think when I was the happiest visiting some other place it was in the hills of Chianti in Italy, beautiful landscape, beautiful summer, beautiful memory. Love ur idea and most probaly it will be aplied on my pictures as well;-) xx
ReplyDeletesounds like a beautiful place!
DeleteHope you had a lovely weekend xx
ReplyDeleteyou too!!
Deletei love them all!
ReplyDeletethank you!
DeleteThese are so cool and capture the essence of your adventure so beautifully. You went to Jamaica?? Oh I really want to go. I want to walk through Kingston! I want to play dominos and drink rum with old men. I want to dive into the Caribbean seas and I want to mash-up the dance and head into the mountains. Ah Jamaica! One day!
ReplyDeleteTh most breathtaking sights for me was standing on the edge of the Ngorongoro crater and looking at the moving shadows below. The silhouettes of clouds and elephants mingled in a most mystical way. Seeing sakura for the 1st time in Japan also moved me.
wow yasumi! hope you get to go to jamaica one day! we went in early 2014 and loved it! ngorongoro crater sounds amazing!
DeleteWow, love these.
ReplyDeletethank you!
DeleteThey look amazing! I love how you included the coordinates, very clever ;)

I absolutely love this idea! I'll have to start doing it too... if you don't mind me stealing the idea!
ReplyDelete7% Solution
This is a marvellous idea...so so cool :) I may have to do this too, haha xx
ReplyDeletecool!
DeleteThe banners are amazing! :) So are the pics, so so pretty! They would look great as book covers as well. While travelling I got pretty impressed with almost everything, I guess I'm in that "awww" mood all day, hahhaa, but I can recall as really impressive the first view of Ainokura and the first step into Shibuya in Japan, the Grand Canyon and the first time I ever got to see the skyscrapers in NY, both in US.

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Jane! I love these. I would so love to have a go at making them myself for memory keeping. They would def make awesome FB cover photos, they are postcard quality! I've travelled to quite a few countries but I must say the most beautiful and scenic spots are right here in Australia (Uluru, Tasmania, for example)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection of photos, Jane. Such a good idea for keepsake. I would love to do thus and look back year after year. Must be fun to look at.
ReplyDeleteI must say it is the first time I see Eiffel Tower in Paris. I can still remember it so clearly =)
ReplyDeleteAnother would be Mykonos, one of the Greek beautiful island. The sunset and beautiful beach was amazing.
Absolutely and completely stunning.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, LOOOOOOOOVE the first one. The sky is a beautiful mix of colors and the silhouettes so sharp and interesting. Keep making these amazing FB covers!
