After our safari ended we flew back to Delhi and spent a night there. The next morning we drove to Agra and checked in to our hotel. Later that afternoon we went to visit the red fort. It was the main residence of the rulers of the Mughal dynasty until 1638, when the capital changed from Agra to Delhi. It […]
After a very early morning internal flight we then drove to the first of the three national parks we would be visiting. To show whereabouts in India we were, I mapped out the route which was (Fly from) Delhi – Nagpur airport, then drive to Pench – Kanha – Bandhavgarh – Jabalpur airport – (Fly to) Delhi. Later that afternoon […]
Last month I ran another photography trip to India. Primarily to see tigers, but also the Taj Mahal. Most of my group arrived in Delhi a couple of days before our tour was due to start, but as I was approaching Heathrow airport I saw my first tiger 🙂 Having a free day before our tour started, four of us […]
Everywhere we visited in Portugal had some cobbled streets with patterns or shapes in them and it was a feature that I particularly liked. The old town of Aveiro was no exception. Aveiro is also known as the Venice of Portugal and is crossed by a network of channels through which local boats meander. These colourful boats were originally used […]
We had just two full days in Porto and unfortunately it rained solidly for one of them. We decided to take a drive along the river that day as we’d read it was a scenic route, and then explore Porto on foot the other day. On the river day, I didn’t even get out of the car! I just shot […]
After exploring Lisbon, we set off to see other parts of Portugal, and here are some of my images from ancient towns. First of all was a day trip from Lisbon to Sintra to visit the park & national palace of Pena. Winding roads take you a long way up a hill and perched at the top is the colourful […]
Portugal. Part 2. Sintra, Evora, Coimbra & ObidosRead More »
An easy and short flight from Bristol to Lisbon meant that I visited another country that was new to me, despite it being relatively close. I’d anticipated a couple of weeks of sunshine and warmth as the UK has had a pretty horrible couple of months weather wise which is typical for January and February. The day I left the […]
After 3 nights in Kathmandu, we set off early for our next destination. The fantastic company we travelled with (https://himalayanadventuretreks.com/) had allocated us a lovely driver for the whole trip. He spoke some English and always was prompt, courteous, helpful and smiley 🙂 We were to drive 165 km / 102 miles to Chitwan which doesn’t sound far. However the […]
Nepal is a country that has interested me for many years and last month I spent a couple of weeks exploring just a small part of it. We travelled with a small company called https://himalayanadventuretreks.com/ and can thoroughly recommend them. Here are some of my photos from its capital, Kathmandu. Our first excursion was to Swayambunath, AKA Monkey Temple which […]
I visited another of America’s National Parks after Yellowstone – The Grand Teton National Park. Both are in Wyoming, and the G.T park is directly below Yellowstone, so it was pretty much a case of exiting one park and entering another. Once again, the scenery there is stunning, and the perfect time of year to visit as all the Aspen […]
