It’s wild and stormy and I find myself stuck indoors for the day, so I decided to use the opportunity for this week’s travel theme. But how do you interpret indoors? It could be ‘indoors looking out’ like looking out through the window of Hook Head Lighthouse…
…or standing outside looking at all the tasty treats on sale indoors in this Aachen bakery…
… or simply reveling in the glory of some spectacular indoor features, like the stunning floral glass Chihuly artwork on the ceiling of the Bellagio in Vegas…
…and still looking up, at the extraordinary ceilings of St Peter’s Basilica in Rome…
…or to scale it back a little, how about being indoors huddled around this stone hearth in a humble old blockhouse on Whidbey Island…
…or getting your druid on inside an ancient burial mound atop Witch Mountain in Ireland.
Actually, when you think about it, being stuck indoors can sometimes be pretty amazing, can’t it? Do you have an amazing indoors you would like to share for this week’s travel theme? If you would like to join in (everyone’s welcome to join in!) here’s what to do:
- Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Indoors
- 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 (unless, of course, I get locked out again!)
- 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.

Tea to the English is really a picnic indoors. – Alice Walker
By reading Huckleberry Finn I felt I was able to justify my act of going into the mountain forest at night and sleeping among the trees with a sense of security which I could never find indoors. – Kenzaburo Oe
Where's my backpack? 
The Chihuly immediately caught my eye . . .seen two exhibitions by him and his team of extraordinary glassblowers.
Great them this week, might just play along later in week 🙂
He does some spectacular work, doesn’t he, Becky? I’ll be on the lookout for your post later this week 🙂
Great shots!
Thanks Tvor xxx

I’m stuck inside an ice cream parlour to escape the heat. Help! Smiling. Love the Chihuly x
Ooh, there are worse places to be stuck, Jo. Have some ice cream for me. 🙂
Very envious Jo, wish I was stuck there with you. If you can delay your return from Tavira as the weather is not getting any better here in England!

Chihuly is fabulous, I’d love to see an exhibition. I’m also stuck indoors as we seem to be living in the cloud again. The delights of Cornish mizzle 🙂
Ooh Jude, I haven’t heard the word mizzle in ages, it’s so deliciously evocative 🙂
Great theme, Ailsa, I’ll have a think about this one…
The great indoors has a lot to offer after all. Beautiful photos.

What a wonderful variety!
I like the Chihuly image and the old block house. We saw a Chihuly at the Children’s Museum in Indianapolis a few years ago; I have a similar capture here: https://atrivialmindatwork.com/2016/04/22/wpc-abstract-glass/
Meanwhile, my entry for this week is about waiting indoors – http://wp.me/p3CFsE-2Z9
