Weekly photo challenge – Room

Last year I visited some  dear friends of mine in Kalimantan. This was my room at their house….. many fond memories….

Another room another place in  kalimantan….. someone’s kitchen where we were invited to learn how to make coffee the kalimantan way.

Spring seems like eons ago as we speed into winter on the other side of the globe. Here are a couple beauties from last spring….

Weekly photo challenge: On top…… of a mountain

This first image I took from the top of the hotel I was staying at in Pokhara 2 or 3 years ago. Many of the buildings are now 4 and 5 stories high , not nearly as pleasing to the eye as they were the first time I visited nearly 30 years ago but the views were at times spectacular! Machapuchari is its name.

This was taken in the Kali Gandaki valley near a small village called Marpha, seeing the snow swirling off the top of this mountain was amazing.

Weekly photo challenge – reflections

Amazing….i love the potential of reflections. While visiting kalimantan last year I travelled up the Sekonyer river and these reflections are from that trip

There were times when if you closed your eyes and then opened them again you couldn’t really tell up from down.

Weekly photo challenge – Inside

For those who don’t know this is durian, a much sort after fruit in Indonesia. It is a challenge to find the best tasting!!! Its all relative of course tee hee!

Weekly Photo challenge – perspective

Images of Labuhanbajo,  a beautiful place on the western end of  Pulau Flores,Indonesia.

I remember being fascinated by  this harbour and its surrounding islands and inlets, not to mention the large variety of seagoing vessels within it.
