Just as the two main US presidential candidates announced their running partners, a wedding invitation arrived in the post for me. It seems like everyone is getting paired up these days, so here’s a travel theme to reflect that, starting with a strange pair of statues in a New York subway station.

These two gulls were getting cozy on a Long Island beach.
How about this startlingly pink and frilly pair of short shorts on sale along the New Jersey boardwalk.
My favourite footwear, a trusty pair of jungle boots that have travelled with me through jungles and deserts and even climbed volcanoes.
A pair of revelers at a Holi celebration, covered in colour.
If you have any photos you think might pair well with this week’s theme, now’s the time to dust them off. 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: Pairs
- 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.
