Monday Morning Blues – Frozen Lake Tjörnin, Reykjavik, Iceland
Six years and one day ago I celebrated my 50th birthday in Iceland. Fabulous memories all round to banish those Monday Morning Blues. In the centre of Reykjavik stands a lake that is frozen in winter, save for a small pocket that remains unfrozen and is haven for flocks of geese and other waterfowl. Groups […]
Monday Morning Blues – The Sun Voyager, Reykjavik, Iceland
Is Monday January 4th just too depressing? Like many others I have not worked for a couple of weeks, have enjoyed watching seasonal films and eating far too much, and now face the shock of going back to work! Remembering past travels and dreaming of new ones is always a good way to beat the […]

Monday Morning Blues – Blue Train, Odessa, Ukraine
This is the bluest train that I could find without a deeper delve into my archives. It was taken in 2011 after we arrived at the Black Sea Port by train from Chisinau.
Monday Morning Blues – Cambodian Pond
I am featuring Cambodia in my Monday Morning Blues post this week to mark the fact that my novel set in the amazing country will be released very soon. I took this in 2015 as we neared a temple site in Siem Reap Province. I love the reflection of the trees and clouds on the […]
Monday Morning Blues – Chorsu Bazaar, Tashkent, Uzbekistan
I love an indoor market and Chorsu is up there with the best. The colourful displays of sweets, cakes, nuts & aromatic spices are quite a picture, but it is the hustle & bustle that that goes on over two floors that is the real draw. The picture below is the main domed building of […]
Monday Morning Blues – The Pembrokeshire Coast, Wales
Wales has some stunning coastline. You could be forgiven for thinking the picture below was taken in the Caribbean rather than on the coast between Pembroke and St David’s. Why not join us every Monday morning by posting an inspiring picture featuring the colour blue. @wilburstravels
Monday Morning Blues – The Costa Smeralda, Sardinia
I visited Northern Sardinia in 2005. Mrs Wilbur & I flew into Olbia and hired a car to explore the beautiful coastal region of the island. The area is known as Costa Smeralda which translates as the Emerald Coast on account of the amazing blue waters. Join us over on Twitter to post a photo […]
Monday Morning Blues – Jerash, Jordan
Most Roman ruins have at least one memorable feature such as an impressive amphitheatre, triumphal arch, aqueduct or bathhouse. With Jerash in Jordan it is the curved colonnade, which is pictured below. Join us over on Twitter every Monday morning when we post our far away photos featuring the colour blue @wilburstravels
Monday Morning Blues – The Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy
As a young lad I was intrigued to hear about the tower in Italy that was leaning over and indeed many years later when I paid it a visit it was still an intriguing spectacle. The free-standing bell tower of the adjacent cathedral began to lean during construction in the 12th century, due to soft […]
