Photographic Memories #3

As every traveller knows, when you look back through old travel photos, many of them trigger wonderful memories. With no current prospect of travel even domestically let alone worldwide, we will have no new adventures to blog, but we do have many such memories…..

Photo #3: The Accursed Mountains

One of the great thrills of travel is that wonderful rush of excitement we all feel as we start out on a new journey, whether it’s a train pulling away from a major city, or leaving port on board a ferry, or even setting out on a hike in new territory. This photograph was taken on just such an occasion, as we left our mountain residence for the first time to head out into the unknown, the trail evocatively dwarfed by the wonderfully named Accursed Mountains. The location is the remote and beautiful village of Valbona in northern Albania, one of our favourite mountain destinations visited so far.
