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!)

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
