I recently flew into San Francisco International Airport and had a 5 hour layover before my onward flight to Newark Liberty airport. An hour-long wait to clear immigration soaked up a chunk of that time and, after stumbling around the seemingly perpetual construction that seems to blight all airports nowadays while I spent more time [...]

A few years back I was lucky enough to get out to the (semi) annual horse races at Ltyentye Apurte (also known as Santa Teresa), a small community east of Alice Springs. You can see a selection of my photos from the day's racing here. Recently I was going through some old photo files and [...]
