Today's travel photo is of some beautiful flower shaped lights on the river in Hoi An, Vietnam. I took this photo just after sunset on my first day in Hoi An while standing on the pedestrian foot bridge. The riverfront area is just beautiful at this time of the day, and having a meal at [...]
Today's travel photo is a view of a snow capped mountain from the Dudh Kosi River Valley in the Himalayas of Nepal. This is an old photo taken on the second day of my trek to Mount Everest Base Camp back in 2009. I can't believe that was four years ago! It reminds me that [...]
Phnom Penh is the capital city of Cambodia and was our first stop when we visited the country. Compared to the rest of Cambodia, Phnom Penh is a hot and steamy, bustling city that is full of life. Walking down its busy streets full of motorbikes and tuk tuks, you'll come across friendly people, tasty [...]
Today's travel photo is of some Buddhist offerings and candles at a shrine on Phou Si in Luang Prabang, Laos. Phou Si is a sacred hill situated in the centre of Luang Prabang, covered in forest and gardens with a small temple and chedi at the top. On the Nam Khan side of the hill [...]
Our second day of exploring the Temples of Angkor in Cambodia led us to the distant but popular temple of Banteay Srei. It is a small temple, its buildings looking miniature compared to the other grand structures in Angkor, but what makes it so popular is its intricate wall carvings. Banteay Srei is a 10th [...]
Today's travel photo is of some art for sale in Piazza Trinita dei Monti in Rome, Italy. This piazza is located at the top of the Spanish Steps and dominated by the Trinita dei Monti Church. I just loved walking around the cobblestone streets and piazzas of Rome.

The Reunification Palace is the former Presidential Palace of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), located in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). Formerly known as the Independence Palace, this grand structure was built on the site of the French built Norodom Palace which was destroyed during a bombing in 1962. Until 1975, this is where [...]
Today's travel photo is of an old rickety house in the historic gold mining town of Sofala, Australia. Located north of Bathurst in New South Wales, Sofala was once a bustling gold mining settlement in the 1800's. Like most mining towns, it dwindled once the gold ran out, but somehow many of it's old buildings [...]
Today's travel photo is of Wat Rong Khun (The White Temple) in Chiang Rai, Thailand. This is a modern temple, built in the late 90's, but it is unlike any that I have seen in Thailand. The fact that it is completely white is only the start. Its somewhat unconventional artwork is what really makes [...]
