Mike's Pictures

                  Here is a selection of pictures from Mike's 40 years of world travel - They focus on Natural History, Conservation, Architecture and Family.

                 Below is a list of albums.  in date order from 1968 to 2007. There is a short description of the nature of the trip. They range from Family to Scientific, Group to Solo and animal to vegetable or mineral. Here is a " Best of  " album that is just that.

              Click on the album title and a new window or tab will open in your browser on  Google Photos - Navigate the album in the usual way - left and right arrows within the picture or top right  " 3 dots menu"  for a slide show.  You cannot vary the speed of the slide show but it does have a pause button lower left. Next to the 3 dots menu is an "i" in a circle - this will tell you the location and date of the picture if you are interested. Do not confuse the upload or scan date with the date in the title.

          This page will remain open in its own tab throughout. Multiple albums can be open at once. The links below are green until you have viewed that album - then they go red. The album link can be shared as well as the individual pictures or even this page.

              Comments can be left on the pictures and suggestions or questions emailed to mikewoodspictures@gmail.com
