BRAND NEW GUIDE: CÓRDOBA, SPAIN *NEW
POSTED 20 AUGUST 2008
If you were ever in the mood for a poetic reflection on the decline of greatness and the ravages of time, Córdoba would be a fine place for it. The city was at the height of its fame in the 10th century, when it had a population of half a million souls, a vibrant economy and a cultural sophistication that only Constantinople and Baghdad could rival. Wander the streets of Córdoba's old town and you'll soon get lost, finding romantic taverns on your way.

NEW PHOTOS: THE MAJESTIC GRAND CANYON
POSTED 12 AUGUST 2008
"I wanted to do more than just look. There was something unsatisfactory about this mere looking. Most visitors to the Grand Canyon make the leisurely drive along the South Rim, stopping off at half a dozen or more observation points where signboards attempt to convey something of the wonder that is laid before them. They gape, they ooh, they aah, they point at the vast rock formations, they crane their necks to catch a glimpse of the river far below the Inner Gorge. They get out their mobile phones and take pictures of one another, smiling at the lense, with the Earth's greatest spectacle as a backdrop."

The Grand Canyon is an awe-inspiring spectacle, but standing in line with the tourists just to stare at it isn't enough for Stanley Stewart, who stocks up on energy bars and treks into its labyrinthe depths - see the photos here
