Travel: The Great Nevada Road Trip - Day Three - A Detour to Boise

Travel, Photography, HistoryTrey TakahashiComment

The morning started off with a literal bang. The hostel had a new roof being installed and the roofers were well on their way driving in roofing nails early in the morning as the sun broke. It was not the most pleasant awakening but one that was needed to shake our weary bones out of bed and get ready for a day in Boise. Still the only two people in the hostel, we slowly rose out of bed, showered, dressed, brushed, and loaded up the Explorer knowing that we would most likely not return until well past the evening. Boise, much like Twin Falls, is a city that I had always wanted to explore more having only previously passed through. I had known about it being a growing hub of youthful liberal spirits and a hub for a community effort to create a blossoming city of self-sustainability. Being both a college town home to a few different universities as well as an age old farming community—this little hub of the west always comes up on various lists of “Best Places to Live” or “Best Communities.” With that image of Boise in mind, we headed into town right around 8 a.m. to get ourselves a cup of tea for some much needed morning fuel.

Another week closes in the photo scavenger hunt with an admittedly difficult challenge on subject of "People." However, this week I think we are going to move out into something a little bit different. So far we have covered the main topics of "Nightlife," and last week, "People"; however, this week we are going to take the focus away from our human brothers and move into something a bit more natural. This week, we are looking at: Nature! So get those cameras ready, and maybe a telephoto at hand for this weeks five scavenger hunt items:

  1. A Fresh Field of Flowers
  2. Golden Light by the Moonlight
  3. The Breathtaking Beauty of Birds
  4. An Everlasting Landscape
  5. In the Wild with Wildlife

*Please be sure to include any information about your photos and name for citation of your work!


And now for last weeks entries with the subject of "People":

1. Men at Work

2. That "Hallmark" Moment

3. The Perfect Self-Portrait

4. All Hail our Tech Overlords

5. A Picturesque Portrait
