A Deep Breath of Africa | Jonathan Begg | Zambia, Lower Zambezi, Victoria Falls
And in this all-enveloping atmosphere of slow nightfall against the timeless river, we breathe a spirit of grandeur, big-heartedness and uninhibited joy - a deep breath of Africa
A Journey to the Roof of the Mind | Jonathan Begg | Nepal, Kathmandu, Kathmandu
Like Kafka’s castle, the high Himalayas are always there, looking close enough to touch, yet tantalisingly out of reach
Brussels: Baroque v. Bureauc | Jonathan Begg | Belgium, Brussels and around, Brussels
Brussels, they said. Beer and cathedrals, I thought, with a G.K. Chesterton swagger, trying not to remember how grey and metallic Brussels always seemed to sound on News at Ten
Chicago’s Cultural Crosswinds | Jonathan Begg | United States, Illinois, Chicago
For you are now heading West into that small region that has shaped its life around a million fantastic Gothic chimneys of rock thrown up by angry Gods of fire and flood, all in another world
Desert Blossom Days | Jonathan Begg
I don’t know why the sunset looks better from the back of a camel, but that lofty vantage-point does seem to lend itself to such contemplative moments
Istria High Eighties | Jonathan Begg | Croatia, Istria, Porec
At the foot of the bell-tower, the old lady pocketed two thousand dinars in exchange for the bland assurance that on a clear day you could see Venice
Lovely and Lost in Thailand | Jonathan Begg | Thailand, The North, Mekong Valley
Thailand’s Mekong Valley is one of the few tourist zones left where no English is spoken, all signs are written in a picturesque alphabet not our own, postcards are nowhere to be found
Mockingbird Pie | Jonathan Begg
At Jack Daniel’s distillery in Lynchburg, I began to feel good after gazing for some minutes into a twenty-foot vat of fermenting rye, the famous sour mash
Namibia Unreal | Jonathan Begg | Namibia, Etosha National Park, Etosha National Park
Slowly its huge nothingness (the literal translation of "Namibia") starts to take on a haunting personality of its own as a long line of gemsbok (or oryx) file into view across the great panorama.
One Foot in the Arctic | Jonathan Begg
It is not that Iceland is all so exotic. Much of it looks like Lancashire. But something in the wind, the bright Arctic air, makes it unique among islands
Slovak Splendours | Jonathan Begg | Slovakia, Bratislava, Bratislava
It is when you look closer that you see the cultural mosaic of Slovak, Magyar and gipsy, the medieval town squares, the wooden villages and painted churches, the folk art, the ice-caves, the fossils and relics
South from Seattle | Jonathan Begg | United States, Washington State, Seattle
A new kind of café society, where browsing and book-buying go on far into the night, has imposed a pleasant air of scholarship on what has qualified more than once as America’s Most Liveable City
Thailand’s Teak Palace | Jonathan Begg | Thailand, Bangkok, Bangkok
Certainly it is impossible to exaggerate the cool dignity of this shaded mansion in the heart of Thailand’s huge sweltering capital. Every line of the architecture tends to charm and soothe
The Bells of Bohemia | Jonathan Begg | Czech Republic, Prague, Prague
Behind its old ramparts, today’s Vysehrad is a Gothic park, dramatically perched above a wide bend of the Vltava, and a nest of history. A thousand turbulent years have left their mark
Turkey’s Silken Centre | Jonathan Begg | Turkey, Mediterranean, Antalya
For you are now heading West into that small region that has shaped its life around a million fantastic Gothic chimneys of rock thrown up by angry Gods of fire and flood, all in another world
