When it comes to overlanding, there simply isn't an obstacle the Camel Trophy team can't overcome. Case in point, this improvised bridge, capable of carrying a column of Land Rovers across a gully at Overland Expo East.
If you're a fan of the over-the-top Top Gear specials, you have these guys to thank... they were building impromptu bridges over rivers long before people tuned in to watch such feats on the television.

Not all wizards get their wands from Ollivanders... You can also find your wand — or rather, it can find you — down this side street in Diagon Alley.

The juvenile black rat snake is born not black but white and brown with a camouflage pattern designed to protect it from predators before it grows up and changes colors. This rat snake lives at the Charlotte Nature Museum in a really nice habitat that looks like it's right out of an Indiana Jones movie.

The Citroën design center on Paris' Champs-Élysées lives up to its name! One of my favorite things about European cities is the architectural juxtaposition between old and new and the way they are often tightly integrated.

It's officially ski season! This photograph is a throw-back from a few years ago on Diamond Peak in Lake Tahoe. The season was off to a slow start so we nearly had the entire mountain to ourselves. It was tremendous! If you are a regular visitor to Lake Tahoe and haven't ever ridden Diamond Peak, you've got to check it out. It's a small, locals-only resort. However, what it lacks in fanfare, it lacks in fanfare... and that's exactly what makes it great!
Living on the East Coast and looking for a ski getaway? Check out Slopeside on Beech Mountain!
This farm on top of Beech Mountain isn't just any farm — it's Dorothy's farm from the Wizard of Oz-themed amusement park, Land of Oz. At more than a mile in elevation and perched atop a mountain, it just might be the most picturesque setting for any amusement park in the world.

I'm thankful for our family. And from our family to yours, we hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Remember that snow storm in Hogsmeade Village? It was brutal. Luckily, Honeydukes was still open and we were able to get some Chocolate Frogs and Fizzing Whizzbees before ducking into the Hog's Head Tavern for a few pints to warm up.

We were out hiking and came across a giant bed of polytrichum. This stuff was as soft as it looked. It reminds me of a forest in Avatar.
