Friday Travel Photo: Sicily, Italy

Europe, Travel Photos 7 Replies

Today’s Friday Travel Photo was taken somewhere on the largest island in the Mediterranean – Sicily. Like much of Italy, the Sicilian region has many characteristics that are different than other regions in Italy. In some respects, a visit to Sicily is like a visit to a different country. Either way, it’s a beautiful place that begs to be explored.

Friday Travel Photo: Highland Cow in Scotland

Travel Photos 10 Replies

Today’s Friday Travel Photo features a highland cow in the Scottish Highlands. These highland cattle – known as hairy coos in Scotland – are native to the Highlands of Scotland and are identifiable by their long hair and big horns. They’re rugged animals and can survive the wet, cold, and windy winters of the Highlands.

You’ll meet Hamish, Scotland’s famous hairy coo, on a day trip from Edinburgh to Loch Ness.
