Vietnam is a country in South East Asia, and is among the most populous countries in the world. Predominantly a Buddhist country, the rich history of the country and its culture show the impact Buddhism has had on it over the centuries. Holidays to Vietnam are always amazing, with so many places to visit, and so many things to see. Hanoi, the bustling capital city, is well-worth a visit..

Several years ago a lightning strike caused a massive forest fire in Kootney National Park, near Banff, Alberta. Today all that remains is a forest of burnt out pine trees and the surrounding peaks. Yet even with all this natural destruction, she still stands proud and majestic.

Mousehole is a picturesque fishing village on the south coast of Cornwall, just a few miles west of the market town of Penzance. The village has a rich history and was famously sacked by the Spaniards in July 1595 when the entire village, apart from one house, was burnt to the ground. That house still stands today.
A hundred years ago Mousehole was a bustling port, crowded with local fishing boats, landing pilchards. Each year, early in November, timber beams are laid across the narrow harbour entrance, to protect the village from the worst of the winter gales. Even so waves can still be seen breaking over the harbour wall at high tide on a strong southerly wind.
Mousehole today has retained much of its old world charm. Local cottages, built from finely grained Lamorna granite, huddle together around the inner edge of the harbour and its bustling narrow streets are filled with small shops, galleries and cafes.

Polperro Harbour, located in Cornwall, England, is a picturesque and historic fishing village renowned for its scenic beauty and charm. Nestled within a steep valley on the south coast, Polperro boasts a protected harbour surrounded by quaint, whitewashed cottages and narrow, winding streets. The harbour, originally built to support the local fishing industry, dates back to the 13th century and has been a hub of activity for centuries.
The Blue Peter Inn, situated near the picturesque harbour, is named after the Blue Peter maritime signal flag, which signifies that a ship is ready to sail.
Polperro's history is rich with tales of smuggling, which flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries due to its secluded coves and hidden paths. Today, the village retains much of its old-world charm, with many of the original fishermen's cottages preserved and now serving as homes, shops, and holiday accommodations.
Visitors to Polperro can explore its maritime history at the Polperro Heritage Museum of Smuggling and Fishing, enjoy fresh seafood at local eateries, or simply wander the scenic harbour paths. The village is also a starting point for stunning coastal walks along the Southwest Coast Path, offering breathtaking views of the rugged coastline. Polperro Harbour is a quintessential Cornish gem, reflecting the region's rich heritage and natural beauty.

Polperro is a fishing port on a rocky coastline near Looe, with narrow, cobbled alleys and houses perched on slopes above the harbour.
Much of the village dates to the 13th century, and for many years the prosperity of Polperro was founded on the pilchard fishery. When the pilchard fishery waned, smuggling became perhaps the major source of Polperro's riches. One well-known smuggler was Willy Wilcox, who, according to legend, was lost in the bewildering network of caves that wind through the cliffs.
Now the village relies on tourism, with visitors drawn by the tightly packed lanes and idyllic fishermen's' cottages that line the picturesque harbour. Most of the buildings near the harbour are untouched by time, giving Polperro a quaint, old world feel.
Port Isaac has been a fishing village since the early fourteenth century. Its narrow, winding streets are lined with old white-washed cottages and traditional granite, slate-fronted Cornish houses, many of which are listed as of architectural or historic importance. Port Isaac is reputed to have one of the narrowest thoroughfares in Britain, the aptly named Squeezy Belly Alley!
From the Middle Ages until the middle of the 19th century, Port Isaac was a busy port handling various imports and exports, including coal, timber, pottery and Delabole slate. In fact, the name Port Isaac is derived from the Cornish Porth Izzick meaning the 'corn port'. After the advent of the railways, it became principally a fishing port.
Today it is a traditional fishing village with a vibrant local community. It is also home to the TV series Doc Martin, starring Martin Clunes, and attracts thousands of visitors each year.

A half a day trip from Phnom Penh to the 17th-19th century Cambodian capital Oudong took us thousands of steps up the prominent Phnom Oudong on top of which stand the royal stupa graves. This newer and more architecturally impressive white stupa on the way to the ancient tombs, is said to house relics from Buddha himself, although it appears to only rarely open to the public. The exterior decorations and details are nonetheless impressive.

Have been in beaches many times at many places ... not a big fan till my son started enjoying the waves. Rather I enjoy watching him play. But the beaches in Phuket and Krabi in Thailand, amazingly beautiful with that turquoise water, white sands and the clean shores. Yet to learn to handle over exposure and capture that colours :-)
One of the last images of the evening.
It was getting rather dark looking out over the harbour, however, I could just make out the reflection of the clouds and the stilllness of the 2 boats.
I decided to take a 30 sec exposure for this shot to help smooth out any movement.

A Lovely evening taking photos in the beautiful little West Sussex village of Bosham.
We were treated to another lovely sunset.
Im not sure I should really say this... but I really like Waterton National Park better than Banff National Park... Then main reason... it is just as scenic and has no where near the crowds... Don't tell anyone... let's keep it that way!

This photograph was taken in South Africa on Christmas Day a few years ago.
I've been haemorrhaging photographic motivation for the last few weeks; figured I'd take a break from photography for a few months and focus on some other hobbies/interests to see where they lead :)
Many thanks to everyone who's viewed, faved and commented on my photographs, I appreciate it and will continue to follow your Photostreams with interest.
In addition, thank you for sharing such incredible images; your photography has served as both inspiration and incentive in furnishing me with different perspectives to expand my photographic horizons and skillset.
Happy shooting!

Ko Samui is an island situated in the Chumphon Archipelago in the Gulf of Thailand, around 700 km south of Bangkok and about 80 km from the eastern shoreline of Southern Thailand. An island of considerable pure charm and diversity, Samui is home to nearly 40,000 full-time residents, 90% of them are Buddhist.
The palm-edged coastline and coconut and fruit farming of the seaside marshlands ascend to a central huge granite, the hills of which are concealed in virgin rainforest. At 247 km² Samui is the second-biggest island in Thailand and the biggest island in the Chumphon Archipelago of around 80 (mainly unpopulated) islands which create the Ang Thong National Marine Park, a kayaking and snorkelling heaven.

Polperro Harbour, located in Cornwall, England, is a picturesque and historic fishing village known for its stunning scenery, narrow streets, and rich maritime heritage. Nestled between steep hills and perched on the rugged coastline, Polperro has a charm that attracts visitors from around the world.
Polperro has a long and storied history, dating back to at least the 13th century. It became a bustling fishing port in the medieval period, with fishing and smuggling being central to its economy. The village was particularly noted for pilchard fishing, which thrived from the 18th to the 19th centuries. Smuggling was also a significant part of Polperro’s history, especially during the 18th century when high import taxes on goods like brandy, tobacco, and tea made smuggling a lucrative, though illegal, business. The narrow, winding streets and hidden alleyways of Polperro were ideal for concealing smuggled goods and evading customs officers.
The harbour itself is a key focal point of the village, characterized by its quaint cottages, stone quays, and colourful fishing boats. It is a tidal harbour, meaning that the water level fluctuates with the tides, sometimes leaving boats resting on the sandy bottom at low tide. Despite its small size, the harbour is active, with fishing boats still bringing in catches of crab, lobster, and other seafood.
Polperro Harbour is a quintessential Cornish fishing village that encapsulates the charm and history of Cornwall’s maritime past. With its beautiful scenery, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant local community, Polperro remains a beloved destination for those seeking to experience the unique character of Cornwall. Whether exploring its narrow streets, learning about its smuggling history, or simply enjoying the natural beauty, visitors to Polperro are sure to find it a memorable and enchanting place.
Mount's Bay is a large, sweeping bay on the English Channel coast of Cornwall, stretching from the Lizard Point to Gwennap Head. In the north of the bay, near Marazion, is St Michael's Mount, the origin of the name of the bay. Though it looks to summer visitors like a large, benign, scenic, natural harbour, in an onshore winter gale it presents a great danger to shipping and a "maritime trap", especially for sailing ships. There are more than 150 known wrecks from the nineteenth century in the area.
St Michael's Mount, is the most famous of Cornwall's landmarks. Originally the site of a Benedictine Chapel, the spectacular castle on the rock dates from the 14th Century.The St Aubyn family created a stunning garden with pathways that wind their way up to the main entrance of the mount through carefully planted slopes that feature many sub-tropical species.
Now in the care of the National Trust, the Mount's castle and gardens are open to the public during weekdays from April to October, and most weekends.
Access is on foot across the causeway at low tide, or by a short ferry crossing at high tide.
