THE WORLD THROUGH MY EYES
VIEWING HELP
To close this window, click the X in the upper right hand corner. Or click anywhere outside of this window's area.
Photos from each day are shown in thumbnail (small) form. Panoramas are either wide or tall images, while normal photos are small rectangles. All photos shown in the PHOTO SHOWCASE section can be enlarged for better viewing. Photos will enlarge to fit your browser window width. Therefore, to view them at larger sizes simply make your browser window wider.
If there is any issue or the need to inquire/comment about an image, please refer to the Image ID label (see below) of the specific image along with the trip name found at the top of the browser window.
Video Clips
Depending on the browser, you may or may not see the play symbol in the middle of the image along with the lower left hand corner. Regardless, clicking anywhere in the image will start or stop the playback. Also, the progress bar along the bottom can be clicked on to skip or replay the video.
The Image ID label is found just below the thumbnail image on the left side.
Panoramas
Clicking anywhere on a panorama thumbnail will cause the image to expand to fill the browser width. Clicking again anywhere in the browser window or scrolling the browser window will cause the expanded image to shrink back to its smaller thumbnail size.
The Image ID label is found just below the thumbnail image on the left side.
Individual Photographs
If you click on any photo thumbnail, it will open a larger viewer which can be used to walk through all of the standard photos on the page. Once open, to go forward click on the > on the right side of the enlarged image. To scan backwards, click on the < on the left side. To close the larger images either click on the X in the upper right hand corner of the browser window or anywhere outside of the enlarged image.
The Image ID label can be found by hovering a cursor over the image briefly (may not be available on some tablets/phones) or, once enlarged, from the lower left hand side just under the image.
Additionally, in the same area as the Image ID a count showing the current image number versus the total number of images available for viewing.

This site is a complete rewrite of my original site using modern web development software, resulting in more capable and dynamic webpage viewing for different devices. While it is still best viewed on a desktop or a good tablet, it can even be viewed on a phone (not optimiazed but possible) (recommend landscape orientation; extra horizontal and vertical scrolling may be required for phone viewing). In the future there will be enhancements for different device types but priority now is on bringing new trips onto the site.
There are no plans other than for minor dark and light mode features for browsers support dark/light modes. This site already uses a dark background to help enhance the photographs.
Please enjoy the images that are ready (the ‘A’ available green markers) and feel free to send comments (Contact Me button). Corrections and requests are welcome and appreciated.
Over the next several years I will be adding not only my new trips but also my prior trips including trips photographed with my older film cameras. I have a minimum target of 4 per year but hopefully will add many more.

As I look back I realize that I really have gone quite a few places around the world. With typically 1000-2000 pictures per trip, I thought that it would be a worth while project to share some of my experiences.
The more recent photos were all done with digital cameras. Earlier trips were done with film SLR camera and scanned in digitally.
I will continue to work on this project as I take new trips and bring in older ones. I hope you enjoy the ride!
