Bewonderment describes the sensations that keep enticing me to travel. These are the accumulated pictures from my wanderings through Asia, Australia, Europe and the Middle East. * be·won·der·ment (b -w n d r-m nt). n. 1. A pleasant sense of confusion and/or disorientation resulting from both awe and astonishment at new sights, sounds, smells, tastes and the general unfamiliarity of surrounds.
