Indonesia

17,000 Islands make up the Indonesian Archipeligo. I have sub categories for Bali, The Seaweed Islands, Flores & Sumatra. Each island has it’s own culture and customs making Indonesia one of the most interesting countries to visit.

Australia’s Women (Trees)

The Australian ‘Bush’ is an amazing place with over 600 species of eucalypts (gum trees).  Whether it’s Snow Gums  with their feet in snow and ice or delicate Ghost Gums in arid landscapes or the Red River Gums in ancient river beds – they are wonderful trees. With some imagination you can see many things in the magnificence of these trees – here are 3 examples titled ‘Women of Australia’.

Bagan was the old capital of the Burmese Empire. It is famous for its temples, several dating back to the eighth century.  Originally Bagan had over 10,000 temples and pagodas, now there are still 2000 in existence making an incredible landscape.  These ancient temples dot the landscape as do the shining, golden pagodas of more recent additions.

Iceland – Land of Ice and Fire

Iceland is an intriguing country and fast becoming one of the  most popular places on wish lists in Europe.  I have just added a new page – Iceland – Land of Ice, water and Fire. Not a very original title I know, but everywhere you go there is evidence of geothermal and volcanic activity on an island surrounded by a rugged coastline and hosting magnificent waterfalls.  The images can be viewed under Albums – Europe – IcelandThermal Activity at Hverir  Iceland
