Travel Theme: Metal

I understand there are four categories of metal: Base metals, Ferrous metals, Noble metals, and Precious metals. And under these categories, there are 91 types of metal: 6 Alkali metals; 6 Alkaline earth metals; 38 Transition metals; 11 Post-transition metals; 15 Lanthanoids; and 15 Actinoids. I’m pretty sure that these photos represent one or more of these… 😉

Travel Theme: Temptation

This week, Ailsa’s Travel Theme is “Temptation.” That immediately made me think of food, not only because there’s a lot of tempting food out there, but also because eating is such an important part of understanding and appreciating the cultures of the places we visit. Here are some tempting foods from my travels.
