Summer is over. The winter winds roll off the the Bavarian Alps and circulate around Munich, a city of mixed emotions. Oktoberfest is over; the first rolling rains of Autumn both sprinkled and splashed,

It has been many months since I have been able to post, but I will be back as soon as possible. Sore fingers, tired arms and the general busy busy of a European summer are to blame... think beers, biergartens

Between a new job, moving apartments, and my parents coming to visit from the other side of the world, I have been unable to even log on to Steemit for over a week. I will be back as soon as possible for

Both of my grandfathers were sailors in their day. In some ways, it explains why everyone in my family has such an affinity with the ocean. There are multiple seafarers in our family, but we all have grown

After a long day of driving, and wandering through the Muir Woods, we head back into town. Driving across the golden gate bridge is always a fun experience, and is exactly like driving across the Sydney

The young man woke up in a sweat. Pictures and sounds of the previous day swilled around in his brain, like a traumatic hangover. Shouting, chanting, cheering, panting, gunfire, explosions, running, confusion.

We had been hiking for about 4 hours now... including a stop for beer and wieners at the hut around halfway up Mt Jenner. This is where our decision point was. To head straight back down the mountain,

Close up, fast turn, epic spray. This is the type of shot that would be very hard to get anywhere other than on a river wave. Enjoy, DanedeBeau

The hikes of the previous day included very little gain in altitude, and a lot of sitting on boats. Today would be the opposite. Now this being a ski village, it had a ski lift called the Jennerbahn which

The Scottish Coastline is rugged and beautiful. It will be perfectly still one moment, then pouring rain, then perfectly still again. This is the nature of life in the highlands, and the people live

When I moved to Munich, Germany in 2016, I had experienced enough northern hemisphere winters to know that they are just a little bit different to the winters we experience in Sydney, Australia. It didn't

New York City is a hectic city to begin with. Steel monoliths reach for the sky, while the people that fill them do the same. The city has an extremely rich history hidden underneath all the steel, concrete

This guy was trying to launch into a 360-air all day. He would do a few turns, then lead into his big move. One foot off the board, he spun like crazy. For the record, he landed it. DanedeBeau

The Tasmanian terrain can change so quickly. One minute you are driving through flat farmland then the next you are heading up a steep hill, surrounded by huge Myrtle-Beech trees on one side and gigantic

Diabaig is one of those towns that you visit, and once you are there, you look at the 8 or 9 houses and farms you can see, and say "One day I will buy one of those." That is when you look over

On our hike back from the Röthbach waterfall, our small group of four were becoming more wary of the weather encroaching. Though we weren't too worried about the actual effects of being rained on as we

So we set off after a hearty pre-hike meal. The hike is probably more of a long walk around a lake and up a valley to the Röthbach waterfall. This is pretty much the only goal for the day as it is an easy,

I have been Bouldering for a little over two years now, and I can't even express how much I enjoy this sport. This is my first post about Bouldering, and definitely not my last. The Old And The New The

Over the weekend, I went offline and into nature. I spent Saturday to Monday hiking various trails around Koniggsee or King's Lake in the Southern region of Bavaria. This lake is by no means the biggest
