Despite its large size (some 6500 square meters, able to fit 7000+ worshipers), there aren't nearly as many visitors are other famous mosques. So when I walked in with my wife, we were greeted by a staff member who gave a personal tour and talked about his faith. Usually when traveling or touring I don't like to be bothered, but it was all just very interesting.
Sumo at Ryōgoku Kokugikan, Tokyo (2011)
This was my first time watching Sumo live, and man, it was an awesome experience.
Grand Canyons, Arizona (2015)
So this was a day-trip fly-in from Vegas. I was with a good buddy Mike - and to this day still have no idea why we decided to do a day-trip to the Canyons in the middle of a boy's trip
Ala Archa, Kyrgyzstan (2018)
After spending a few days in Almaty and Bishkek, it was so nice to breath clean, crisp air again.
Sunset over Table Mountain (2016)
We actually weren't planning to stay thru until sunset, but the cable car was halted for a long time because of strong winds. So we just kept enjoying the scenery. Thank goodness for uber to take us back to our hotel after descending so late. The first time I visited the first generation iPhone was only just released....
Marine Iguanas, Galapagos (2014)
Seeing the marine iguanas was one of my favorite dives. The surge was absolutely ripping and there was soot and debris all over the place making photography difficult, but was still able to get a few shots.
