My recent visit to the extremely large and slightly menacing Fremont Troll got me thinking about other big sights I’ve encountered on my travels. Journeying along Washington State’s North Cascades Highway, Liberty Bell Mountain will stop you in your tracks with its scale and beauty.
I can still hear the whirring of the white windmills covering Tehachapi Pass; the biggest wind farm I’ve ever seen.
After driving through the desert and reaching Las Vegas just as night fell, it was pretty startling to see a fifty foot tall Gordon Ramsay glaring at us from the side of a mini Arc de Triomphe.
But the one sight that will remain emblazoned upon my mind’s eye forever is my very first sight of Montana‘s big skies.
Are you ready to live large and join in this week’s travel photo theme? Everyone’s welcome, so if you want to join in, here’s what to do:
- Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Big
- Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
- Get your post in by next Thursday, as the new travel theme comes out on Friday
- Don’t forget to subscribe to keep up to date on the latest weekly travel themes. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS – I’m in the process of changing over to a new website host but will give you all a heads up when the changeover happens.

Looking forward to seeing the big picture or pictures you come up with for this week’s challenge.
