Howdy all. One of the most ‘fabled’ cities on the old Silk Road is without a doubt Uzbekistan’s Samarkand. It has a number of sites worth seeing, and a great place to experience Islamic Architecture. It’s a beautiful city, with wide roads and then miles of little backstreets in the old parts. When I visited …
Flying from Australia to Europe is a long, LONG journey, and bar an experimental flight from Perth to Europe (London I think) you need to change planes at some point in the Middle East or Asia. There are many options – off the top of my head Doha, Abu Dhabi, Delhi, Colombo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, …

Xi'an is the perfect example of a large Chinese city that has mixed modernity in with perfectly preserved history. The city walls encase the 'old and new town', whilst outside it there are more tall apartment buildings than one can count. It's the city you jump off from to see the Army of the Terracotta …
As readers should know, I loved Jodhpur when I visited a few months back now, in fact it became my favourite city in Rajasthan. It sits slightly below and to the side of the incredible Mehrangarh Fort which watches over the whole city of Jodhpur. In fact, it’s only a very short walk from the …
Hi all. Today's look through my lens takes me back a couple of years to Chiang Mai in Thailand. A bit of a tourist Mecca with a famous night market and more temples than your average South East Asian city, for some reason I found that there was a bit of a yellowish tinge to …
Howdy all! Today I turn my lens to Mongolia, the incredible windswept country I visited last year on my Trans-Mongolian train journey. I entered from China in the south to Russia in the north, with time spent in the capital Ulaan Baatar and a short visit to Terelj. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by today! …
A new idea for a Sunday post – thematically linking three spots for various reasons. You’ll see as I do a few more of these what I mean! And today’s theme is ‘mountains’. And so I am writing about three mountain spots I went to in vastly different parts of the world, in fact in …
Hi all. I was going to give you a post about Romania this week, another 5-for style post, but then it occurred to me that a couple of days ago it was Indian Independence Day, and I thought I should probably get out one ‘India-themed’ post this week. That and suddenly (or slowly lol) I …
Around 9 kilometres from the incredible Rajasthani city of Jodhpur, is the town of Mandore. I hadn’t heard of this town before heading to India this year, and I probably would have missed it all together if I hadn’t felt like doing something on what I had sort of planned as a ‘rest day’ whilst …
Hi folks. Hope you’re all well. Whilst in India I had the chance to photograph a few people, and so I thought I’d do another ‘Faces of’ post from my time in March in Rajasthan. Most of these were taken in Jodhpur, and most of those around the amazing fort there. I hope you enjoy! …
