A Space to Sleep – 15 Favorite Hotel Beds

There are so many directions I could go with the theme of “space” for this week’s #Frifotos on twitter.

My first thought was looking up. I thought about the skies – the vast emptiness of space that surrounds our planet, but I’ve already blogged photo-essays about African Skies, Andean Skies, and Amazon Skies.

So I thought about being in space, rather, being in the air flying through space up to 36,000 feet above the planet, but then I’ve already blogged photo essays about taking Aerial Instagrams, and all the Reasons I Love the Window Seat.

So, with my feet firmly on the planet, I thought about the beautiful open spaces of natural beauty on earth. But yeah, you guessed it, I’ve already blogged photo essays about such wondrous spaces as the Grand Canyon and Yosemite, and probably my favorite “space” to view space from our planet, Namibia.

Then I grew tired, exhausting possibilities and ideas to blog about for “space”. I just wanted to turn off the computer and go to sleep. That’s when I realized, ah yes, that place where we drift to sleep is a space too. And I’ve drifted to sleep in many, many spaces. And I’ve taken many pictures of those spaces – those rooms and beds – so why not share some of my favorites here.
