I propose you a new game...

The goal is to create a photographic journey that will crosses the whole planet.

RULES:

You can participate by publishing photographs that :
1) are located within 200 km in the case of towns or areas with high photo density

2) are located at higher distance (250 - 500 km) in the case of low photo density areas (desert areas of various kinds)

3) To navigate the seas can be published pictures from a coastline to another one ( no km limit ). the photo of departure and arrival must be as topic coastal shots, port cities, harbour and similiar .


This is our departure point:

[BWS's ghost]

Time to sail from NYC, around New Jersey and up the Delaware River to the Ben Franklin Bridge, in Philadelphia (about 90 miles or 150km from NYC by car/air). It's another port city.

[ghost of delete key]

[BWS's ghost]

Back to New York City and a visit to the U.N. Secretariat Building

[Piero Genova]

It’s time to travel south again… to Palermo (Sicily).

[BWS's ghost]

>From an Italian port to an American port - Key West, Florida.

Since there's unlimited distance allowed between ports, feel free to zoom back to Europe in the next post ;)

[AL1612]

take a nice cruise back to Europe and visit St. Peter Port, Guernsey

[indri]

Sorry Al1612, I'd like to join you on that cruise but my yacht is still anchored in Mauritius

[♠ c0l0gne1 ♣]

I've sailed back to the Channel Islands and landed on Herm Island- just a hop across the sea from St. Peter Port

[tashimelampo]

>From Herm Island we sail to Brest, France

[keepclicking]

>From Brest, we cross the channel to Portsmouth

[Paul Strasser]

Headed north and sailed into København before the winter becomes too serious

[BWS's ghost]

Still time for a quick sail across the Atlantic to Miami, Florida for the winter.
Well, at least for 1 post anyway - probably back to a European port by next post

[keepclicking]

Just a tiny bit over 200Km me thinks Brian.

[BWS's ghost]

You haven't read the rules, KC Here's a copy of #3:

"3) To navigate the seas can be published pictures from a coastline to another one ( no km limit ). the photo of departure and arrival must be as topic coastal shots, port cities, harbour and similiar ."

otherwise, how would we ever get "around the world" with those big puddles everywhere?

You can't go straight back to Paris (you did another time I took this game to America) but London is a port city, isn't it? ...

[BWS's ghost]

Let's sail thru the Panama canal to Sydney, Australia to make winter change into summer!

Entering Sydney harbor in the 1st visit to Australia in this game.

[Paul Strasser]

In search of pristine wilderness and isolation we sail even further south to the island of Tasmania

[keepclicking]

Thanks for putting me right on the rules Brian. Based on that, and following Pauls latest submission, I will really push the boat out and go to another Island. Fyr's Island on the River Thames, Reading.

[BWS's ghost]

Now we're really moving! Let's sail back to Australia and see Shute Harbor (on the left) from the top of South Molle Island in the Whitsundays.

[keepclicking]

Rule '3' makes far more sense and gives the game a new purpose. The title needs changing though. Still, taking liberties still further. Potton Island.

[Paul Strasser]

The Orient beckons, time to set sail. What better place to anchor than Thailand.

[tashimelampo]

Sailing south we reach Mu Ko Ang Thong marine park, Thailand

[BWS's ghost]

Let's sail east today, to the island of Kauai in the Hawaiian chain.

[Geoff Slack]

How about a nice cruise on the Queen Mary 2.
Back down the Eastern seaboard, through the Panama Canal and up the coast to Manhattan Island



New York, New York , "so good they named it twice"

[♠ c0l0gne1 ♣]

And back through the Panama Canal, crossing the Pacific to follow the French whalers to Akaroa Harbour on NZ's South Island

[Paul Strasser]

Skirting the South Pacific we head just north of the equator to a city that boasts cleanliness and safe streets, has opulence and a cuisine that is the envy of others; the wonderful Lion city – Singapore.

[tashimelampo]

Sailing South East we reach the island of Madura, Indonesia

[indri]

After a stay of nearly a week in Madura, we set sail to Ha Long Bay in Vietnam

[keepclicking]

>From Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, we go to Pevencey Bay in Sussex.

[BWS's ghost]

>From Pevencey Bay in Sussex we sail to Australia (oh no, not again! ;o)

[keepclicking]

Sorry for the enormous bounce back to the UK Brian, but......................

>From a shipwreck in OZ




to a shipwreck on the Leigh on Sea mud flats.

[indri]

Brrr, actually the U K is far too cold to capsize


in November I'll prefer to sink on a beach in the Indian Ocean

[keepclicking]

Sunk in a dock in London

[tashimelampo]

Sailing sud west, we reach the Brest harbour, France
