Ron Young's Travel Blog
A simple blog that turns raw pictures taken on my iPhone, whilst travelling, into a little more structure and meaning.

On days like this, it is great to be in SW France
6th February at 11am and it’s 15C, with a forecast approaching 18-20C later.
Not a cloud in the sky.
Simply beautiful to walk with our dogs.

Back in Alaigne, SW France
The last few days, here in Alaigne, have had glorious sunrises. So strong and so energizing. It’s amazing what a few minutes of warmth from the sun do to your attitude to the day.
Light has a very positive and creative influence on me. Darkness is totally the opposite.
Today, a picture from the kitchen that sort of captures the sunrise, at least, from one dimension. 14C and rumoured to rise to 20C on our patio. Not bad for mid January!

Visit to New Delhi 1st–2nd December 2010
This time I tried a new airline ‘Kingfisher’. Yes it is the same company that does the famous Indian beer ‘Kingfisher’. Pretty good.
I arrived at Gandhi International on 1st December. The airport really is very nice
and a good first impression to India.
I simply love the colours and symbols of India.

23rd–26th November 2010, Singapore
I had to fly back from China and stay overnight, just for a few hours, at IBIS Heathrow.
Only £35 for the night! Pretty amazing. Then an early bus back to the airport.
I was amazed how the ordinary terminal entrance above was boring and the Virgin entrance was so ‘Welcome’ ing….
The the Singapore Airlines Airbus 380 again. I think I have flown this to Singapore
maybe 6 times now.
Below is the mandatory picture from my Hotel room at the Pan Pacific Hotel
Form my room I see the Casino with the ‘ship’ like tower at the top.
The gardens and tennis court from my room, you can just make out the hundreds of golden carp in the pond
The Pan Pacific lifts…..
And one of my favourite photographs at Changi airport leaving Singapore
