I like to share this image that was shot by my wife as she sat on the opposite side of the bus. The layers, patterns, lines, Colours and itsdepth of this image gave this image a wonderful compositional capture with her 12 yrs old Nikon D300s DSLR.

Japanese are passionate about fishing, but imagined it to be a cheek-by-jowl affair carried out in pre-stocked ponds. That you can cast into a crystal-clear lake on Hokkaido, and parts of the main island of Honshu, with few other anglers around, came as a surprise.

However, it was because in fall, the cold and windy weather made the boats rested on shore.

The mosque is an impressive example of Moroccan and Islamic artisanship, with Moorish influences. Visitors can enjoy seeing hand-carved stone and wood, intricate marble floors, gilded ceilings and beautiful ceramic tiling. Apart from some white granite columns and 56 crystal chandeliers imported from Italy, all the materials used to build the mosque were sourced from all around Morocco. From Cedar wood from the Atlas mountains to natural stones from the Sahara, the whole country is represented.

As green as grass

After the storm comes the calm.

You can see fallen dead pine tree trunks along the river / water streams inside the Fenland Trail. Since the water was so clear, you can see them under the water.

Head of the Green Snake, I captured this image and focused at the eyes of the snake as if the same way of portrait shooting. I also chose to shoot from low angle in view of its lower jaw.

Pancake Rock, Punakaiki to Hokitika - South Island, New Zealand. It takes a while to make a pancake on the West Coast of New Zealand - 30 million years actually!

Part of the Paparoa National Park, the Pancake Rocks are accessed by the easy Pancake Rocks and Blowholes Walk right in the centre of Punakaiki.

Volubilis (Berber languages: Walili, Arabic: وليلي‎) is a partly excavated Berber city in Morocco situated near the city of Meknes, and commonly considered as the ancient capital of the kingdom of Mauretania. The archaeological vestiges of this site bear witness to several civilizations. All the phases of its ten centuries of occupation, from prehistory to the Islamic period are represented. The site has produced a substantial amount of artistic material, including mosaics, marble and bronze statuary, and hundreds of inscriptions. This documentation and that which remains to be discovered, is representative of a creative spirit of the human beings who lived there over the ages. The limit of the site is represented by the Roman rampart constructed in 168-169 AD. The features of the site reveal two topographic forms: a relatively flat sloping area in the North-Eastern part, the monumental sector and a part of the sector of the triumphal arch, where the Romans employed an urban hypodamian system, and a rougher hilly area covering the South and Western parts where a terraced plan was adopted. The vestiges bear testimony to diverse periods, from Mauritanian times when it was part of an independent kingdom, to the Roman period when it was a metropolis of the Roman province of Mauritania Tingitana, a period called the « dark ages » with towards the end a Christian era, and finally an Islamic period characterised by the founding of the dynasty of the Idrissids.

Heads of stone warriors at the main entrance of Angkor Wat, Cambodia.

A long causeway leading to each entry tower is flanked by a row of 54 stone figures on each side – demons on the right and gods on the left-to make a total of 108 mythical beings guarding the city of Angkor Thom. The demons have a grimacing expression and wear a military headdress whereas the gods look serene with their almond-shaped eyes and wear a conical headdress. (Some of the heads on these figures are copies; the original ones have been removed and are at the Angkor Conservancy in Siem Reap).

This image was captured from the bus while entering to the Angkor Wat.

The lake surrounds Bled Island (Blejski otok). The island has several buildings, the main one being the pilgrimage church dedicated to the Assumption of Mary (Cerkev Marijinega vnebovzetja), built in its current form near the end of the 17th century, and decorated with remains of Gothic frescos from around 1470 in the presbyterium and rich Baroque equipment. The church has a 52 m (171 ft) tower and there is a Baroque stairway from 1655 with 99 stone steps leading up to the building. The church is frequently visited and weddings are held there regularly. Traditionally it is considered good luck for the groom to carry his bride up the steps on the day of their wedding before ringing the bell and making a wish inside the church.
