Adventure is something that many of us seek. It can mean many different things. For me Adventure, is enjoying life. The Safaris and Game Drives I did were life changing. So many animals that until now, i'd only seen in a Zoo or on TV.
I think we all need to create adventure in our lives. These adventures will be the things we'll reflect upon later in life. Whether that's going to a new coffee shop, or heading to Antarctica. Get out there and adventure.

OK, I am finally back from a business trip to South Korea. There were a lot of cool places to visit and not enough time. This one is from the Naksan temple in mount Seorak region on the east coast. It is a temple located right on the beautiful coastline of the East sea (Japan sea). There was a beautiful sunrise and I noticed this monk sitting in one of the temple gazebos, looking out to the sea. Immediately I thought it would be a great moment to capture. So, here you have it :)
Another Hard Rock Cafe tee shift memories photo today. It’s my Paris tee shirt. And few things compare to you first time in Paris. The full quotation by Victor Hugo on my photo today is “He who contemplates the depths of Paris is seized with vertigo. Nothing is more fantastic. Nothing is more tragic. Nothing is more sublime." I’ve been to Paris twice. Both times it rained. Both times it did not matter..I was in Paris. That was all that matters. I went to graveyards. Saw Jim Morrisons grave. Edith Piafs. I got to see the Mona Lisa. I studied French in high school and loved it but did not retain anything except for one phrase. Je suis tombé dans la rue. I fell down in the street. And I did trip and cut my hand. But I was so happy. I walked into a cafe and excitedly said Je suis tombé dans la rue. And they brought me some ice and towels for my hand. I could use my one sentence. Luckily I could say Merci beaucoup afterwards also. Oh Victor Hugo. You are so correct. Also Marks garden has gotten out of hand it seems in the photo
Not used my camera very much recently. It's been even longer since I used Flickr. Funny how times change.

One New Year's resolution is to get into better shape and shed some pounds. Today I wondered why I should wait for the new year so I went to the gym.... However, one day does not a habit make.

talking about relocation issues

This photo has been taken as part of the scientific effort of the salvage archaeologist team H.U.N.E. to document the Sudanese Arab tribe of the Manasir and their cultural landscape 'Dar al-Manasir' situated at the Fourth Cararact of the River Nile.
The homeland of the Manasir will be submerged by the reservoir lake of the Hamdab High Dam (Merowe Multi-Purpose Hydro Project) in the very near future and all inhabitants have to be relocated by the Sudanese government.

This rotter just had a shit into its hand and spread it out for inspection..... it then sat there quietly and seemed to ponder the meaning of life. Maybe it is all just shit?
This is a photo of myself in Bamiyan, Afghanistan and was taken by Basir Seerat, an Afghani who studied film and photography in Kabul - see his pictures at www.photoblog.com/asianeye
