A tribute to my friend, the late travel media icon Arthur Frommer

The legendary U.S. travel journalist and entrepreneur Arthur Frommer passed away November 18 at the age of 95. Born in Virginia and with an early boyhood in a small town in Missouri, Arthur was a lawyer who became a pioneering and great travel journalist, and who will be remembered as having helped open the joys of travel to the masses. While serving in the U.S. Army in Europe in the 1950s, he got the travel bug, came out with a travel guide for servicemen, and followed up in 1957 with…

What do you wear to Seven Magic Mountains?

Seven Magic Mountains is an art installation located in the Nevada desert, and the weather can be quite hot and dry. Therefore, it is recommended to wear comfortable and breathable clothing, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals or sneakers. You may also want to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. It's also a good idea to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated. While there is no strict dress code, it's important to dress appropriately for the weather and…

Images of Krakow, a beautiful and captivating city, rich in culture and history.

Nowa Huta, the former model Stalinist city and now the easternmost district of Krakow, provides fascinating reminders of communist rule. For a tour with a difference, Crazy Guides can show you around in an old Trabant - or "trabbie"!

The nearby Wieliczka Salt Mine is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site - the chapel of St. Kinga carved from the salt far below ground is stunningly beautiful (and can apparently be booked for weddings).

Add to this the friendly people, a buzzing nightlife and great food, and its a city that I cannot wait to visit again. Try a zapiekanka (a very long halved baked baguette topped with mushrooms and melted cheese or other toppings) - it's a must-do experience!!

Wow! There is some extraordinary talent here -- Thomas, Sarah, more...

If you think "exposure" and "cross-links" are of any use to any of you, please let me know. I have run photo essays on ConsumerTraveler.com, mainly on weekends. You can expect somewhere in the mid-hundreds of pageviews with airline executives and pr folk as well as frequent travelers.

Hi and thanks Lynn. I made a very bad typo, sorry...it is the Antrim Coast of Northern Ireland (not Island!) UK. And thanks to you too Charlie...I can relate to those early misty mornings!
Lynn Rosen February 20, 2011 at 12:27am

Stunning, ethereal images. Where is this Antrim Coast of Northern Island?
Charlie Leocha February 19, 2011 at 8:56pm

Exceptional photographs. I remember many early misty mornings and one sunny sunrise on the Giants Causway photographing the changing light and seas.

Photographs from the hauntingly beautiful Antrim Coast of Northern Island. The Giants Causeway is other-worldly at dusk, and the coastline looks ever-more dramatic under stormy skies. Click here to view the image collection: Antrim Coast Ireland gallery

I am based in Copenhagen and take on photography commissions worldwide. To see more travel images, visit the 'recent work' or 'portfolio' sections of my website www.whitelightgallery.com.
