Hi
I’m Carole Lloyd and my travels tend to focus on history, the countryside and nature, wildlife, wildflowers and photography of all of the above. For more photos of my travels click on this link “Carole Lloyd Photography”. Click the button below to access my portfolio on Fine Art America.
I was born in the United Kingdom and have always been drawn back there. But I also love exploring other countries and their cultures. I find history fascinating and never get bored wandering around old ruins taking photos and imagining the people who must have lived and worked there before events and time took their toll. Travelling independently allows me to get immersed in my photography without inconveniencing others.

If you look hard enough, you’ll find them all and more – and that’s why I travel.

Reykjavik, Iceland (2)
Aurora Guesthouse – Part 2 Today was my budget day, at least when it came to accommodation. I waved goodbye to the Reykjavik Natura Hotel, skipping their $46 breakfast in favor of a much more affordable spread at the bus station. It was just as tasty and one third the price! Then came the part… Read more
