Sunshine on Buddha

He looks illuminated in his golden sash. There was something special about the light. Photo taken in December 2016.

Down the path

Welcome to Cambodia! It's a land of beauty and wonderfully friendly and open people. However, the country does have a dark past with both French colonial rule and the Khmer Rouge regime. This beautiful path is found in the memorial gardens of Choeung Ek, the largest of the many Killing Fields found around Cambodia. We will look back at Cambodia's dark past more this week. Photo taken in December 2016.

Into the fairy creek

The fairy creek is another big attraction in Mui Ne. As it was the dry season, it was a scenic  walk upstream through the creek.

There are lots of mineral cliffs along the way. It's easy to imagine things look quite different here during the wet season when the water is much higher and flows faster.

There's always a slight current, even in the shallow waters. Photos taken in November 2016.

Arches in black and white

I just love arches and there were plenty to be found in Lisbon! These line the Praça do Comércio, a square I strolled through at almost all times of the day. Photo taken in August 2016.

Shadows in the Kloster

Inside the Maulbronn Monastery. It's a large complex of beautiful, old buildings which is under UNESCO World Heritage protection. Photo taken in March 2014.

Super shadows

I love the lines created by the pergola over one of the walkways at Taliesin West. Photo taken in February 2013. If you enjoy shadows, head over to Shadow Shot Sunday for more.
