[42] Travel + random things I like

[angelamaria]

I've been meaning to make icons of some of my trips for a while now, mostly because I have a thing about my userpics being a somewhat accurate representation of things I like and/or are useful, and so I wanted to get a few trip shots in there. The current theiconthrone theme challenge is "all about me", so I decided I would do icons from photographs I've taken on some of my (already post-processed) trips. I have a GIANT backlog of photos :/ so some of my recent, memorable trips I haven't been able to do yet, but hey, progress!

I've also included a short explanation or note for each icon as well as a link to the original photo (where applicable), such as where the photo was taken, etc.

(Also, P.S. if you have a bit of time can you help me out with a poll here! THANK YOU)

Random things I like
1 - 6






[details]
01 Perfume oils from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. I just took this photo for this activity, this is actually part of my stash, some of my favorites--headed by The Girl: A seductive, serpentine white scent, elusive, crystalline, and spellbinding: white amber, silver birch, immortelle, davana, pale musk, star jasmine, and ylang ylang.
02 Ice cream! This is matcha/vanilla ice cream from my trip to Japan, but I love pretty much any ice cream flavour. (link)
03 Day hikes - this is in Nepal, that is actually me, and my endurance is sucky and I have knee issues but I love walking and "hiking". (link)
04 I love my kindle! (Cutout from promo photo, not mine.)
05 Obviously I like taking photos! In the icon is my current camera (cutout from promo photo, not mine), an Olympus OM-D E-M5II.
