Greenland – Sisimiut rock and mineral collection at KTI
Bylgermany December 22, 2018December 30, 2025

I talk a lot about the beauty of Greenlandic rocks in my blog posts. I also keep bemoaning the fact that I didn’t end up studying geology at university (it was either that or astronomy – I chose astronomy) and that I’m not wandering around Greenland with a geologist by my side. So it should…

Basílica del Voto Nacional – Quito
Bylgermany August 20, 2016December 30, 2025

One of my favourite memories from when I visited Quito 13 years ago was clambering all over the Basílica del Voto Nacional. So much so that I decided to do it again this trip. In particular, I loved the scant regard to the OH&S laws that shut down most kinds of fun in Australia and other…
