FXcuisine: spectacular recipes and memorable food experiences. This blog is a feast for the eyes. It has been linked before and mentioned recently, but deserves its own post. You can browse FXcuisine by tag or popularity. Don't miss the "next page" link at the bottom of posts. A couple of my favorites: Ramadan kebabs in Istanbul, fondue at a dungeon chalet.

Get lost

Lost Art is the fascinating site of Brazilian Mefite Ignacio Aronovich and Louise Chin. It's a deep vein of adventurous, quirky, and kinky photo essays from around the globe. Scroll down on the main page to see a text menu or browse the visual index. Much content is NSFW but - stick with "adventure" and "travel" if that's a concern - or view the SFW slide show Our Year in Pictures 2006 (with sound) or without sound.

Schmap is an online/desktop travel guidebook. They are taking Creative Commons licensed photos from Flickr and using them in their city guides. It is kind of like Google Maps + Flickr + Lonely Planet. [Contains some flash, and to try out the guide you have to install the Schmap Player.]

On a wing & a rail - global transportation

madamjujujive — Sun, 10 Aug 2003 07:17:25 -0800

Transportation around the world is a huge database of photos focusing on two topics: transportation mode and geography. From bullet trains to dogsleds and camel caravans to tramways, - browse by location or by topic. Also related: One of the best transportation museums in the world is the Verkehrshaus der Schweiz in Lucern, Switzerland. (via booknotes)
