The Devil’s Pulpit, Finnich Glen: How to Get There, What to Expect & Photo Tips
Not too far from Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland is a moss-covered, 100ft deep gorge with an almost ruby-coloured river flowing through it. This is Finnich Glen, better known as the Devil’s Pulpit, and it’s one of the most photogenic spots in Scotland. You might recognise it from TV’s Outlander (it’s the Liar’s Spring), or […]

13 Best Waterfalls in Ohio (With Photography Tips for Each One)
Ohio is not a state most people think of when it comes to waterfalls. I know I didn’t, at least not until Jess took me to Hocking Hills on one of our visits to see her family. She grew up in Ohio, and we have spent a fair amount of time exploring the state over […]
Caledonian Sleeper Review: Using the Sleeper Train in the UK

We’ve ridden all sorts of sleeper trains, from creaky old eastern European models through to the vintage Orient Express. We’ve also ridden one of the UK’s sleeper trains a number of times. The Caledonian Sleeper is a […]
