This page on DanHartfordPhoto.com contains Dan's Travel Blogs.  These blogs describe trips and adventures (not always photography related) taken by Dan and his wife Ellen to various locations.

I have recently been inundated with SPAM comments on several of my travel blogs - more than 100 per day which I have to manually delete rather than approve for public display.  I very much do want *REAL* comments from actual readers but to control the SPAM on articles that are attracting the SPAM I will be requiring that people leaving comments be registered (no money involved).  I know this is a bit of an inconvenience, and apologize for that but I hope you understand.
