I've been lucky enough to visit 5 different cities in India. I think it's such a beautiful, interesting country. But my favorite of the cities I've been to has to be the holy city of Varanasi. I took a walk across the many ghats that line the Ganges River. The colors here are so vibrant and this particular set of steps really grabbed my attention. Even 7 years later, I still remember this trip very fondly.

This picture is from a Very Holy Lake Gosaikunda, a lake situated at about 4380 meters above sea level falls under Dhunche-Gosaikunda-Helambu trekking route. Lying at Langtang National Park, it is one of the most popular trekking routes in Nepal.

Gosaikunda lake is a sacred/holy lake with a religious context related to Hindu God Lord Shiva.
There's no lake in the picture though. Enjoy the breathtaking Scenery from Langtang Himalayan Range.

Shot at Side, Turkey few years ago while resting at nice hotel nearby the sea. It is quite interesting, when all hotel guests at that time are going for a nice dinner (5 stars / ALL INCLUDED hotel), the true photographer never miss opportunity to make a golden hour photoshoot :)

Pier and the sailing ship making composition more interesting, while waves caught on a bit longer exposure adding nice movement effect

Enjoy :)

Bintan Island Sunset

This year my wife and I spent a night on the stunning island of Bintan in Indonesia. Just a 40 minute ferry ride from the hustle and bustle of Singapore this resort island feels just about as close to paradise as you could ask for. Clear blue seas and stunning sandy beaches are just the start, there's incredible food, people and culture to boot. This was one of my favourite shots from the trip, just as the sun was setting over the beautiful villas!

He he :) Today is about Khao Sok National Park in Thailand. Its area is 739 km², and it includes the 165 square kilometer Cheow Lan Lake contained by the Ratchaprapha Dam. The park is the largest area of virgin forest in southern Thailand and is a remnant of rain forest which is older and more diverse than the Amazon rain forest.It is amazing to see crystal clear water and lots fish under water.
I definitely recommend you taking three days in that park - to spend nights in floating houses, to go to the jungle and to go swimming and kayaking around lots of fantastic iceland's.

The photograph was taken at Himalayan range of Ladhak, India during my 2 weeks long motorcycle ride to 'Top of the World' back in 2009.Shot with an entry level canon dslr on 18-55mm lens with very minor editing in lightroom. This was my first visit here, I was amazed and surprised to see India had such mind-blowing remote terrain mostly looking out of this world. You may see a truck and a car if you look closely :)

Kaangrian Falls

Hidden gem of Ilocos Norte, Philippines. This waterfall is rarely visited due to its location. With the way people treat nature here, it's good that it's not well known. Local tourists throw their trash like it's a landfill.
Hope it stays unaccessible so that the beauty of the place is preserved.

A view over Boudhanath, one of the largest Stupa in the world where hundreds are coming each evening to walking around this monument as the recites the mantras OM MANI PADME UM or else. I've seen people who lost their legs still coming here every day to spin around for as much times as the got beads on their necklace! We can do more than we can think of us, that's for sure and this place is one of the kind to realize that.

This is one of my favorite photos, which I took when visiting Angkor back in February this year. It shows a scene from Ta Prohm (the Tomb Raider temple) in eraly morning light.

I went to this temple a few times early in the morning to be one of the first people in there, which gave me enough time to photograph the temple without any tourists. It's a magical place and full on interesting wall carvings, here an Apsara Dancer.

Hence I call this photo Apsara
