Random Photo From The Past # 4

Here is another photo from my travels of the past. It is from Malaysia again, on the island of Langkawi. Another old man, this time walking down the beach and deciding to sit under the palm trees for a while. I don't think he had anywhere to go, but then on an island, that is not such a bad thing.


I believe this photo is from early 2000. The original was color, but I filtered it to black & white.

Places I Have Lived

Since I am on the subject of Google Earth, I thought I would share with you a video I made using Google Earth and some other tools. Be gentle on me; this is the first time I have done something like this.

I have traveled a lot of places, but this is just a tour of the three places I have lived. The first is Las Vegas, NV, where I grew up. The second is N'Dungu Kebbeh in The Gambia where I served in the Peace Corps. And the last one is Andong, South Korea where I teach English. I have actually lived several places in Korea, but we'll save that tour for another time. You can actually see the houses in Las Vegas and N'Dungu Kebbeh, but the resolution is not that good in Andong.

Have a look and let me know what you think. Yeah, I know the video is a bit long. Sorry.

My homes around the world.



If you want to see the tour in a much larger version, just click on the following link, and let the file load into Google Earth. Once it is loaded, find it in your "Temporary Places" folder, expand HomeTour.kmz, highlight "Home tour" then press F10. There will be no music, but the view will be much larger, and you can control the movement. Have fun.
