I have visited loads of totally awesome places but there are a few special experiences that are just everlasting uplifting memories and this school with less than 20 kids is one of them.

The Three Gorges, Yangtze River, China

This gallery contains 22 photos.

I have been lucky enough to have sailed down the mighty Yangtze River in China about a dozen times or so, which means I have been able to enjoy all the glorious and not so glorious days. The scenery is quite beautiful however it often fails to live up to the expectations of visitors.  What [...]

Chengde Temples, China

This gallery contains 15 photos.

  Lying just a few hours north of Beijing is the once imperial summer resort of the Qing Dynasty in the city of Chengde.     While I mostly found the town a little unremarkable, the eight temples that sit on the hills on the outskirts of town overlook the grounds of the fabulous summer resort which [...]

Great Ocean Road, Australia

This gallery contains 59 photos.

A classic must-do for visitors to Melbourne is a visit to the 12 Apostles on the Great Ocean Road.   This gorgeous piece of coastline winds its way along the southern coast of Victoria, where the road in places clings precariously to the sheer rocky cliffs that plunge into the cool waters of the wild [...]

Hong Kong Architecture

This gallery contains 26 photos.

Buildings are not just buildings in Hong Kong – they are vessels of reflections and abstract lines that constantly transform in the ever-changing light and shadow.  This I totally find endlessly fascinating. There is no better way to spend a day than to wander the streets checking out the surrounds with camera in hand trying [...]

Magnificent Tibet

This gallery contains 35 photos.

Tibet is one of those places that evokes a sense of spirituality and romance but in reality it is so much more.   For many the harsh and unforgiving landscape is a challenge when combined with the altitude, all this just makes the resilience of the Tibetan people who have, and continue to endure the tough, [...]

Gorgeous Creatures of Borneo

This gallery contains 31 photos.

  The gorgeous primates of Borneo offer hours of endless fascination watching their antics as they frolic and go about their daily lives in the jungles of Sabah. The unusual Proboscis Monkey with freaky noses and ears look a little like they’ve sparked numerous sci-fi movie characters, while the beautiful orange young of the Silvered [...]

Ancient Yangmei

This gallery contains 39 photos.

  This is a collection of images from the sleepy living relic of times gone by – Yangmei.  A place where art students and discerning tourists come, hoping to catch a glimpse into a bygone era where the treasures are being preserved in an olde world atmosphere.   Surrounded by river on 3 sides this seemingly [...]

Detian Falls, China

  Stunning Detian Falls straddle the China, Vietnam border shining with brilliant, jewel-like colour.   Consisting of several tiers of water that gush over its edges, the falls stretch more than 200 metres and are surrounded by beautiful limestone karsts.  Water flow varies throughout the year, however regardless of the season I am sure they maintain [...]
