Travel theme: Edge

Posted on August 29, 2014 by ailsapm

I didn’t get enough sleep last night and am a little on edge, so I’m funneling my edginess into this week’s travel theme. Here are a few edgy moments I’ve encountered along the way.

The edge of Croton Dam where the water starts to tumble over the spillway.

Looking over the edge of a speedboat on Lake Atitlán, I caught a little of the boat’s spray in the bottom of the frame.

Sun peeps over the edge of a slot canyon in Zion National Park.

Vibrant colours trace the edge of a sulphur waterfall in Yellowstone National Park.

Hopefully this week’s theme has got you on the edge of your seat. If you would like to join in with your own interpretation (everyone’s welcome!) here’s what to do:

  • Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Edge
  • 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!

About ailsapm

Hi there! I’m Ailsa Prideaux-Mooney. I’ve lived in many places, and travelled to many more. I had a lot of fun getting there and being there, wherever there happened to be at the time. I climbed a castle wall in Czesky Krumlov, abseiled down cliffs to go caving in the west of Ireland, slept on the beach in Paros, got chased by a swarm of bees in Vourvourou (ok that wasn’t fun, but it was exciting), learned flower arranging in Tokyo, found myself in the middle of a riot in Seoul, learned to snowboard in Salzburg, got lost in a labyrinth in Budapest and had my ice cream stolen by a gull in Cornwall. And I’m just getting started. If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read so far, I’d love you to follow my travelogue - wheresmybackpack.com - and remember, anyone who tries to tell you it’s a small world hasn’t tried to see it all.

    Hi Ailsa, I like both of your quotes and all of your photos for this challenge. It has been a while for me posting here, but I think this Great Blue Heron is sufficiently on edge, himself, to count:
