My 1503-Day Journey on Instagram

I never felt so alive, partly because I was heavily caffeinated, but every morning I got to watch a sleepy UNESCO heritage city come alive all by myself. - Travel Shaper Scott Herder - Brooklyn - Hyperlapse Photography - Travelure ©
Travel Shaper Mike Shubic, Phoenix Region, Arizona – Mike’s Road Trip
Complete with flower petals, a garland of fragrant flowers, a colorful “Welcome Mike” design on the office floor, and a couple of gifts. It was overwhelming and so thoughtful, it blew me away. - Travel Shaper Mike Shubic, Phoenix Region, Arizona - Mike’s Road Trip - Travelure ©
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NYC – Maverick Architecture
It faced bitter criticism when it opened its doors to the public in 1959. ‘The architecture dominates the paintings,’ was the sole pretext of its criticism. And it is true. - Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NYC - Maverick Architecture - Travelure ©
The Beauty of the Blue Hour
...this Dynamic Range of the human eye is from X to 1,048,576X (20-stops). It means we are able to see the darkest and the brightest part of the scene vividly, while the camera struggles to do justice to this wide range of reflected light in a frame. - The Beauty of the Blue Hour - Travelure ©

After the recce, the window of my fourth-floor Novotel room and the widest lens I had, became the partners for this shot. To capture light trails, I mounted the camera on a tripod for a steady shot.

During a game, the crazed fans would urge their team to do better by screaming 'Roll Tide'. But today, it could mean anything from hello to goodbye and all things in between.

Black Warrior Alert – Tuscaloosa
Tuscaloosa. If there ever was a word with a truly Native-American twang, it is this! While our world may have many Delhis and New Yorks, it has only one Tuscaloosa. No wonder their Tourism Department calls it the #OneAndOnly. #Alabama Black Warrior Alert - Tuscaloosa - Travelure ©
