I probably wasn't going to do a 'Through My Lens' on Lima. From memory, that of a year ago, it didn't stand out as one of the most amazing places I'd visited visually. But then I looked through the photos I took and I thought 'gees there's such contrasts, interesting buildings, architecture, and more'. So …
Quito, Ecuador's capital, is a surprisingly attractive city. I had no idea that I had taken so many photos when I was there! It's built on and around hills, and has a gorgeous Old Town which is the best part of it. Enjoy! Panecillo Hill stands over Quito, with a statue of the Madonna watching …
In the south of China, a 90 minute bus ride from the city of Guilin, is the beautiful town of Yangshuo. I visited back in 2011 (which honestly feels like last year to me!) and I loved it. It’s a large town but not a city (certainly not by Chinese standards) that sits on the …
Djenne is a pretty special place. A small town on the less-populated side of the Niger River. As I wrote in my recent post on Mopti (Sunday Spotlight – Mopti) I visited on a longish day-trip from Mopti. Actually, half the fun of the day was the amazing journey from Mopti to Djenne and back, …
Howdy all, it's time for another edition of 'Through My Lens' and this time to the Argentinian capital, Buenos Aires. And it's a very photogenic city with different districts and some incredible architecture. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by! May the Journey Never End!
The American capital is not the ‘small’ spot the kind of which most Sunday Spotlights feature, but compared to a lot of large American cities, there’s something about it that feels rather manageable. Add to that that in the centre of the best things to see can sort of be walked to – around the …
Hi all. Just a quick Doctor Who-themed post this Friday for you. I was working on my previous Sunday post which was on Cambridge (Sunday Spotlight: Cambridge) and I recalled that one of my main reasons for wanting to visit this gorgeous university town was that it was the location where a Doctor Who story, …

This week's photographic remembrance is taking me back to Dubai where I was 7 - 8 years ago. There are malls galore, with the most incredible attractions - like Ski Dubai, inside the Mall of the Emirates which is a ski resort with lifts and more and snow of course. Then there was another with …
One of Benin’s most visited attractions is the stilted-village of Ganvie. It really is a bit of a tourist trap in some respects I guess, it’s on the Lake of Nokoue, and that is a short ride from Benin’s main (but not capital) city of Cotonou. If you are visiting this West African nation, well, …
Hi folks! Time to turn the clock back a decade plus to my time in the West African country of Benin. A country with a history linked to the slave trade to the Americas, it has it's own beauty and despite the fact I only had five nights there, I appreciated visiting. Apart from the …
