evening photography in Venice
As a tourist I never seem to let the camera leave my hand. Even when it rains, or the sun has set or I am tired from a full day of city walking. But as sometimes these pictures come out…

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…
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…
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…
last photo gallery from Bruxelles
These are the last photos from Bruxelles, a mix of black & white and color photography. As usual I am way behind in posting the photos from my trip (nothing new here). I hope you enjoy all these pictures, and…
Bruxelles in black & white
How to best describe Bruxelles? A tiny gem of a town, old buildings and new people or waffles and beers ? I really liked the few days I spent in Belgium – split between Bruxelles, Bruges and to neighboring Luxembourg.…
are we there yet?
Well, I am now in Bucharest so this small wonderful trip ended. Managed to backup the whole photo catalog from the Asus netbook and do a backup, unpacked, did the laundry, started work – everything is back to normal. More…
Tulum – and on the way to Merida
The vacation within the vacation is over. My 3 day stay in Tulum is over, and now I am in Merida missing the beach. Tulum is a backpacker hangout near the Caribbean, famous for cenote diving and snorkeling, for Mayan ruins, and for…
the trip so far
I think I am around at the half of the trip (time does seem to fly…), so here are some quick thoughts of the trip so far. I arrived in Ciudad de Mexico – a huge great city, where I…
Agua Azul – the post without ruins
Yes, this is going to be a post without pictures of buildings nor Mayan ruins. The second part of the trip seems to be moving towards a more nature-orientated part. At least for the moment. Or until Chichen Itza… Welcome…
Palenque – braving the tropical heat
Im writing this before boarding the bus for Tulum. Another long night bus ride – 11 hours at least – ahead of me. The good part – I get to process some photos, write a bit – before and ON…
Oaxaca – photo gallery
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words…so this post should be like a small novel.
the cool people on the road
One of the interesting parts of vacation – and staying at hostels, taking buses, eating at hole-in-the-wall places – is that you get to meet a lot of interesting people. Everybody has a story, everybody can recommend places to see…
up in the air
I’m writing this while passing the southern tip of Groenland. Im supposed to catch some sleep in order to accommodate to the new time zone, however the day has no intention of ending- and above the clouds it’s always sunny.…
Tonle Sap – the lake village
Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in South-East Asia. As it sustains a lot of wildlife and small communities it’s a great place to visit once you get “templed out”. After the amazing temples of Angkor a change feels…
happy birthday…to me and my blog
Well, doing a bit of cleaning around the blog I discovered that I started writing and posting photos exactly last year. First post – a ‘hello world’ kind of message – was posted on Jan 31, 2009. So, with a…
Versailles – visiting the gardens
In the established tradition (he he) this is another post and photo gallery put online with a pretty big delay. I suppose people got used to seeing my travel posts long after returning home. I hope people will not complain…
a visit to the Forbidden City
This is the second post in the series about sights in China which I did not have the time to write about when I was still in there. The first post was Along the Great Wall – a description of…
along the Great Wall
This post was long overdue, always in the making and always left for “another time”. Well, what with the weekend around the office corner I finally found the time to write about one of the “must-do” visits in China: a…
second day in Shanghai
This short post is going to be a mere continuation of Lost in Shanghai, mostly bringing a few more pictures. Yesterday, because of the very late hour I couldn’t complete the photo album, so now this can be seen as…
