sunset at Bagan
Bagan in Myanmar is every photographer’s dream. On an area no larger than 40sq km there are thousands of temples. I think it is impossible to visit all of them – so there is still room for someone to find…

portrait from Myanmar (part 2)
I took countless photos of people from Myanmar – from children, field workers, monks, people on the streets of Yangon – everywhere you point the camera there is an interesting face. The only other place where I could literally not…
portraits in Myanmar
This is the beginning of a short series of photos I took in Myanmar, especially portraits of people.
Kuala Lumpur bird park
I am not the greatest bird fan – but how could I say no to visiting the largest open aviary in the world? All thoughts of birds crapping on me, the standard afternoon rain did not even count. So –…
Kuala Lumpur – first impressions
After 3 days spent in Kuala Lumpur, a daytrip to Melakka, countless bubble teas and lots of pictures taken it is time to move on. Tonight I have a train ticket to Tanah Merah – and then a ferry from…
Jim Thompson museum in Bangkok
One of the things to see in Bangkok, and a very pleasant introduction to Thai art, is a visit to Jim Thompson museum. The ex-OSS (what is today known as CIA) turned entrepreneur and who revived the Thai silk manufacturing was also…
biking in Ayuthaya
Ayuthaya – the old Thai capital – is just 1h30 by train from Bangkok. So after a morning spent at the Myanmar embassy applying for the visa I decided to spend the rest of the day doing a short trip…
sailing into sunset
Another photo from Sri Lanka, again with a boat at sunset. I see a pattern here: depressing autumn outside – and I start dreaming about holidays.
cup of tea in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is famous for it’s tea plantations. In the central highlands in Sri Lanka there are huge hill slopes covered in tea bushes, and seeing women going to pick the tea leaves is a common sight. Some of these…
railroad tracks in Sri Lanka
I realized I hadn’t posted any photo from Sri Lanka – which is a shame as it is a very interesting and fascinating country. As I process more photos from that trip – with highlights as the ascension on Adam’s…
colorful Sibiu
Slow day photo wise, but I did find a very nice image I took in Sibiu. I really enjoyed the beautiful colors of the buildings -I am not used to see houses painted so full of colors in Romania.
goodbye to summer
Officially the summer is over since September 1st. However, only today really feels like autumn is here. Rain – clouds – sleeping late – umbrellas. Yet the biggest change is that weekends no longer mean going to the seaside. Probably…
Granada and Alhambra
I think Spain is one of the greatest places to visit – and it can offer photographic gems for several trips. While I have in the past visited Madrid, Toledo, Aranjuez, Barcelona and a few other places, until this summer…
Sibiu travel guide and photo gallery
I find SIbiu the loveliest city to visit in Romania. Also known as Hermannstadt, it was the capital of the principality of Transylvania in the 18th and 19th centuries. Sibiu is a city proud of its history but at the…
photos from ASTRA open air museum in Sibiu
Sibiu offers a lot of sights, besides the wonderful cafes and restaurants. So, before going to ARTMania concerts we tried to see a bit of the nice museums and sights in Siibiu, and also ASTRA open-air museum. For people interested…
photo gallery from first visit to Sibiu
I wanted to visit Sibiu for a long time, yet I never got the chance to spend a few days in this lovely city. However, as this year we decided to attend ARTMania which happens in Sibiu, it was a…
Maldives – where it’s always sunny
In Maldives the average temperature is 30 degrees Celsius, and the winters are not that different from summers. Rains? I think they do happen once in a blue moon. The people do say that the sea can get rough, and…
spicy India
Every time I browse these photos I remember fondly the delicious food from India. From yummy vegetarian food to different curries, everything is so tasty.
India – photos from Goa
I took so many photos in India, that probably this year I will continue to post photo albums from time to time. These were taken mostly in Goa.
photo challenge: color red
A friend and colleague of mine – Bianca (biancabardas.com) – who is also passionate about photography had a great idea of a photo project. Each month (relatively speaking – we are already somewhat late) we should choose a theme and…
