Travel theme: Windy

Close your eyes and turn your face into the wind. Feel it sweep along your skin in an invisible ocean of exultation. Suddenly you know you are alive.

Vera Nazarian

Normally I am not a huge fan of windy weather, as is this week’s travel theme.

But when I am cruising on the ocean and my face is to the wind, I certainly feel alive and exult in the moment, and having photos certainly helps to preserve the memory.

Here I am on board Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth as we sailed through the Suez Canal.

And you can see the effect of the wind on me on this glorious, hot, Egyptian spring day.
