the post with monkeys
It seems the little guys are a big attraction for friends and so I think they deserve a post only for them. The monkey temple in Jaipur has a few very funny and expressive little guys, who are a joy…

around Jaipur
Besides Amber fort, Jaipur has a lot of other places to visit. Even a simple stroll in the markets can provide a lot of photo opportunities. And visiting the city palace, the astronomical (or astrological) observatory, the monkey and sun…
Jaipur – the Amber fort
Jaipur is the third part of the classic “golden triangle”of travel in India. Together with Delhi and Agra (the place where the famous Taj Mahal is located) Jaipur offers the best introduction to India. Like all first timers in India, I…
Taj Mahal and Agra
India for a lot of travelers means Delhi – Agra – Jaipur. And for a first visit to India, that’s how I started. After the crazy streets of Delhi I moved to Agra – and visited the main attraction there…
streets and sights of Delhi
From street sellers to construction workers, barbers and tuk-tuk drivers and people of all imaginable faiths Delhi is an amazing show. I wished for a camera that could record every angle, every second, every face and every situation. Didn’t have…
faces of India
India proved to be a magic land. Once I stopped focusing on the poverty, touts and the utter chaos I started to appreciate this land. In almost 3 weeks I took a lot of photos, which as usual will take…
magic Japan – a photo tribute
Seeing the destruction and chaos that now rules Japan I started to browse my photo collection from last year. This country left such a nice impression that I wanted to lessen the shock caused by today’s events. I really am…
the bicycle obsession
Do all photographers have a pet obsession? Your cat maybe? Or interesting windows? Or – i think this is a phase in every female photog life – pictures of the feet. After a few tens of thousands of photos I…
remember Mexico
Because I started doing some homework – processing old photos, selecting the good and discarding the chaff, and so on – I started to get little folders of newly processed photos. Some of these were already published here, but now…
photo gallery
I have finally decided to put a serious gallery plugin on this blog. Right now my photos are lost among a lot of posts, and I have no way to offer a professional look to my photography. After watching in…
Japan photo gallery – part five
Photographs from Kyoto and Tokyo. This is the last part of the selection I made. After we visited Hiroshima and Osaka, it was finally time to return to Tokyo and back home.
Japan photo gallery – part four
Photos from Hiroshima and the Golden Pagoda in Kyoto. Do not worry – photo upload is almost over. i had to extend my Google Picasa storage space, and I skipped around 80% of the photos I took, but hopefully I…
Japan photo gallery – part three
Today’s post has some photos from Kyoto. This was the second city we visited, and we soon went to the imperial palace and gardens. Also included are some pictures from Kyoto at night, and the colorful light show done at…
Radio Lynx
About digital photography, cameras from smartphones with their cool apps to DSLR’s. When is the right time to use what camera, and what are the cool toys from today. A very general discussion – not enough time to delve into…
Japan photo gallery – part two
Again a pretty large upload of photos. Today’s post has pictures from day 3 and 4, when we went to Mount Fuji and Matsumoto castle. Both are pretty impressive sights, but while Fuji didn’t offer a lot in terms of…
Japan photo gallery – part one
While I will continue to post post processed photos from the trip to Japan, I will also add a rough batch of photos. these are intended for the people who will not have the patience for the ‘artistic’ galleries. Japan…
photos from the imperial palaces in Kyoto
For a photographer visiting the imperial palaces and gardens in Kyoto is like Santa Claus coming early. Not to mention that visiting these attractions is free – which in Japan is a good thing. I took hundreds of pictures –…
Totoro and his friends
Life sized ready to hug character from famous Japanese mangas. In this episode, Totoro and his friends.
imperial gardens in Kyoto
One of the best ways to escape from the travel escape, and the best way to get away from the modern Japan is to visit the old imperial palaces and gardens in Kyoto. Here time seems to have stopped in…
Japan by train
Is an experience in itself. Once I passed the wallet shock of the Japan Rail Pass, I started to see the nice things it can do. Most destinations are accessible by train – already went to Mount Fuji (Fuji-san) and…
