Red Eyed – Montreal, Quebec – [07/11/2014]

In Silent Sympathy – Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos – [11/12/2013]
It often seems when we’re out here that we live in a different world, we’re somewhat suspended from reality and it often seems not to touch us. I’ve said before that everything is different out here, the rules are different, … Continue reading
