In the past year since travel opened up for Australians Robert and I have taken several journeys at home and overseas. While I posted many photos of these adventures on Facebook I want to leave a more permanent record of some of our adventures. This challenge provides me with opportunities to share my photos and stories while recording some personal history.
I plan to share photos and stories from our travels between April 2022 and March 2023. My theme this year is In Anno Itinerantur.
I am a perennial pasenger when we are travelling. We are either in a tour bus, a boat, a car with a driver or Robert is behind the wheel of a rental car. A phone or camera for snapping will always be in my hand or beside me.
Because I have an interest in people and where and how they live I take many snaps of residential buildings. On reviewing my photos for this post on homes in different countries I have deleted many snaps that are out of focus, crooked, missing vital parts or have massive telegraph poles or powerlines obliterating their facades. Nonetheless I still have a massive archive of "Home Sweet Homes" we passed during the year.

Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
A great variety of home sweet homes here Jill. I also love seeing the where and how people live on my travels.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate your support for my posts Jennifer.
DeleteEnjoy living life vicariously through your travels. At least I get to see a lot of places I am now very unlikely to see for myself.
ReplyDeleteHappy to oblige John :-))

Thanks for stopping by Donna.
DeleteA fascinating collection of homes that inspired me to do something similar. I have been pleased to photograph chalets in Austria and the clapboard houses in New England but longed to go inside them to see the style of interior decoration.
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I also love taking tours of historic homes when we are out travelling.
DeleteThese houses are fantastic! I always like photographing ancestral homes when I go genealogy sleuthing -- and occasionally I'll even find an inside view on a real estate site. My favorite here is the church converted into a house. Very unique.
ReplyDeleteQuite a few country churches here have been deconsecrated and turned into homes. A sign of a society that is not so religious as in former times.
DeleteThe washboard house and cottage are super cute. I wouldn't mind living in either one.
ReplyDeleteChrys I wonder what they look like inside.
DeleteLarge or small, expensive or not, home is home. It’s fascinating to see the variety.
ReplyDeleteIn our materialstic society it's a shame that some houses people inhabit lack the warmth of a home.
