#ResourceTravel Top Instagram Photos of the Week

Gloomy weather in Melbourne has kept me mostly indoors this week, so perhaps it’s not surprising that I’ve been drawn to clear sunrises and sunsets, sprawling forests and plenty of gorgeous wildlife shots in this week’s top #ResourceTravel Instagram photos of the week. If it weren’t for the smattering of houses in @danielpeckham’s aerial shot of the California coastline, there wouldn’t be a single city shot in this week’s collection! Totally out of character for me, since urban environments are usually my favourite. Expect to see more of them next week!

Snow Owl in Yukon Wildlife Reserve, Canada by @laurenpbath

How adorable are snowy owls? This little gal was in the Yukon Wildlife Preserves Rehabilitation Centre but I forgot to get more information about her injury. I can't recommend this place enough if you're in the Yukon, such an amazing opportunity to see so many species in the one place. @TravelYukon #ExploreYukon

Oahu, Hawaii by @deliberate_wanderer

I loved watching people climb coconut trees in Hawaii. This guy got to the top within a few seconds. I have to admit, my attempt took much longer and was regrettably less successful. || #deliberatewanderer #hawaii

Crescent Bay, USA by @danielpeckham

This is a 40MP lateral panorama from 32 photos flying two passes over Crescent Bay (flying in a straight line, one closer to the shoreline and one farther out) – my largest aerial panorama to date. I stayed just under 400 feet, overlapping about 2/3 of the scene each photo. I wanted a photo showing the shape of the whole bay and I could have captured a similar image if I had flown to around 1,000 feet, but I'm not supposed to fly that high, plus it wouldn't have been as high resolution. Lightroom couldn't handle stitching this panorama (first time it's failed me), but AutoPano Pro (for the Mac) handled it just fine. #lagunabeach #AsSeeninLaguna #CrescentBay #ShawsCove #FromWhereIDrone

Ireland by @adventuroushomebuddies

Today I've decided to share a photo of Gadmo in Ireland. We spent a bit more than three months near Dublin at the beginning of 2014. I was doing a work experience there and took Gadmo with me on a journey by car to London, Dublin, around Ireland, one day in Wales and back to our home in South Germany. Those were some of the best months of my life. We lived with the most friendly couple ever who became family to me, were able to walk at the beach every day breathing in salty air while wind was playing with our hair. It was amazing and I left some parts of my heart behind in this beautiful country and its friendly people. I will definitely visit that country again and I'm often dreaming of my own B&B on Ireland's coast, Gadmo looking after our sheep and chicken, long walks on the beach soaking in the colors of sunsets. Do you also have a country that's very dear to your heart?
