Description
With strong focus in history, this books presents my travels to Europe, Asia, Canada and Australia.

Summary
On a trail of relics and ruins, Snapshots is a diary of travels delineating my journeys of four major continents. The diary is written in a stream of consciousness style. A travel through the ancient, the medieval, the renaissance and the modern, the national heritage of each of these continents has been pivotal to this book. Musing on peoples' views and perceptions which they have shared with me and with my rendering, these accounts have been compiled as chronicles of a motley collection.

Excerpt
"Time is of the essence. And on a timeline of this journey, specific dates have been drawn. As great distances have been covered, it has taken a long time for this book to be written. Snapshots started as a diary, but evolved over time into a book. Dynamic in its own right, at the end of each traverse, another begins anew and is recorded in the travelogue. "
