Say "Munich" and the first thing most people think of is "Oktoberfest". And secondly "Beer". And then maybe "Pretzels". Or as the true Bayern would say in Boarisch (Bavarian); "Wiesn", "Breze" und...well, also "Beer". And for just over two weeks a year, the four do indeed go hand-in-hand.

(Not to be confused with a Roman Easter selection box).
When I lived and worked in Spain, the closest big city away from the endless olive trees of Jaén province was Cordoba. I would often squeeze in a visit in the morning or weekend. It was a very different experience to the quiet city of And[...]

There are very few things that will get me out of bed - enthusiastically - in the morning; but unbeatable photographic opportunities is one of them. Case and point, the aptly-named Early Morning Market in Ubud. I have twice voluntarily risen before dawn to seek out the golden hour.

- Last year, after leaving Korea and spending three months travelling around India and Nepal, I found myself back in England for the summer. It was a brilliant year to spend June, July and August in the UK. Not only was it gloriously hot, there was also a seemingly endless buzz of activity[...]

- It's winter, and everyone could surely use a bit of warmth and colour to brighten things up. So in a change to my usual style, and with absolutely no connection to the time of year, I pulled one of my favourite series from the archives: wild flowers. These pink beauties would [...]

- Merry Christmas from VictoriaW.photography
As an ex-pat, Christmas abroad can go one of two ways: either you can throw yourself into conscientious oblivion, embracing the (lack of) traditions of your host country, or even making new ones; or you can seek out and create Christmas wherever [...]

- The penultimate destination of my American coast-to-coast adventure was Santa Cruz. It was meant to be a sun-soaked few days on the beach, with a surfing lesson or two. Instead, Santa Cruz was cloudy, drizzly and I was developing a chest infection. Trying not to let these realities[...]
