Tian Tan Buddha, Lantau, Hong Kong (November 2010)
According to local legend, on a clear day the giant Tian Tan Buddha (Lantau Island, Hong Kong) can be seen from Macao, but it’s not until you get up close that you feel the full impact of this serene monument.

Oopsie Mamushka, Covent Garden, London (August 2009)
A recent post by David Sobik reminded me that I’ve been remiss about posting any busker shots lately, so here’s another shot of everyone’s favourite busking string ensemble, Oopsie Mamushka, in Covent Garden, London. (Warning – the link plays music.)

Ormiston Gorge, West MacDonnell Ranges (April 2010)
Ormiston Gorge, in the West MacDonnell Ranges, is an easy day trip from Alice Springs. I was lucky enough to see it after some heavy rain, when the waterhole was full.
Window and Chair, Bayeux, Normandy (March 2007)
I was flicking through one of my old catalogs when I stumbled across this image from a Bed-and-Breakfast in Bayeux. I hadn’t given it a second glance when I first sorted the pictures from this trip – I guess this is why it pays to look at things with fresh eyes sometimes.
Incidentally, this was the B&B was that cemented my dislike of B&Bs. I’d always disliked the feeling of staying in someone else’s home, but the gentleman running this place took such pains to point out – at great length – all the valuable antiques in the room (including the chair in this picture) that I spent the entire stay too terrified to relax in my room in case I broke something. Still, at least they made for a nice picture!
