If you haven't seen these videos by Rick Mereki, you are in for a treat. These three videos were commissioned by STA Travel Australia, and are a great way to promote travel. They really make me want to jump on a plane and go somwhere.

"3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage... all to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning and food ....into 3 beautiful and hopefully compelling short films.....

= a trip of a lifetime.

move, eat, learn"

Appuru Pai has taken some fantastic long exposure photos of the Yurikamome transit line that travels between the Japanese cities of Shimbashi and Toyosu. I love the dynamic lines created by the train's movement and the variety of colors you would never notice when just riding a train. You can check out some other photos from Pai on his Flickr.

What happens when you give a bunch of hipsters glow in the dark paint? You get this series by Guillaume Kayacan. There are definitely some cool and interesting photos in this playful series. You can check out the full series on Behance.

Xavier Jamonet is a photographer from Southeatern France. His style features bold saturated colors, high contrasts and a crisp/clear look. I hope he continues to travel and show us the great landscapes Earth has to offer.
