Wow, I just came across this series of photographs taken of the sunset today in Sydney. I wish I had been there.

Winter Sunset

Waiting for Sunset

After an elephant ride to the summit of Phom Bakheng near Angkor we rested and waited for the sun to set.

Flourish

In Japan people love to place pots outside their house filled with water, plants and fish. This one was in a blue plastic tub outside someones front door in Kyoto. It was only about 30-40cm wide.

Matsumoto Castle

2009-04-20T11:15:00.007+09:00

One of the most beautiful cities I have seen in Japan, Matsumoto is about 1 hour by train from Nagano. The castle in the centre of town is a national treasure and is surrounded by 360 degrees of snow capped mountains (depending on the time of year you visit).

I would recommend this hotel however they speak very little English. The price includes dinner and breakfast and they have one of the most beautiful outdoor onsens I have ever seen.

Onsen Monkeys

2009-04-20T08:54:00.006+09:00

Taken in a little town in Nagano called Yudanaka, at a place called Jigokudani Monkey Park. These Japanese Macaque's are known as "Snow Monkeys" because they bath in the hot springs in winter. Next time I will visit when there is a bit more snow around.

It takes about an hour from Nagano station on local trains, this website has transport details.

Walking along the beach at Musandam Peninsular in Oman at sunrise with a sandstorm sweeping in over the horizon from Iran.

Autumn Mist

2009-02-15T16:22:00.009+09:00

Taken from the summit of the beautiful Takao San. This place gets very crouded in autumn and on weekends. It takes less that one hour on the train from Shinjuku station.

Desert Sand

2008-09-18T17:45:00.020+09:00

Taken at the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve in U.A.E. They also have a 5 star resort in the middle of the reserve. All proceeds go towards conservation of the desert. I wouldn't recommend staying more than a night or two because there is not much to do in the middle of the desert.

Taken from Musandam Peninsular, Oman in September 2008. At the Six Senses Hideaway in Zighy Bay.

Kyoto Autumn

2007-11-18T16:13:00.017+09:00

Golden Ducks

2007-11-18T15:43:00.025+09:00

Golden Duck photograph was taken at Kyoto, Japan in November 2007. The autumn colours were the best that I have ever seen and I would highly recommend a trip to Kyoto at this time but it was very crouded!

Jizo Statues

2006-01-31T12:56:00.000+09:00

Aoi

Aoi means blue in Japanese.

Is this the most beautiful beach you have ever seen? It is Busselton south of Perth and certainly one of the most beautiful beaches I have every been to.

Try staying at Quay West in Bunker Bay.
