The Golden Temple at Amritsar

This place is really beautiful day and night. At night it seems to float on the lake of sacred waters surrounding it

This extraordinary place, near the heart of the ancient Khmer city has gargantuan faces looking to the four cardinal points of the compass...the book we consulted suggested there were more than 40 of them.

Cambodia, Bayon, Dressed Buddha

We came across quite a few of these small shrines in the various temples that we visited, each with a 'dressed' buddha. Some with people who would, for a small offering, light incense sticks for you and help you to pray

Machupicchu from Waynapicchu 2

A stiffish climb up the pathway to Waynapichu gives this wonderful view of Machupicchu. You need to be reasonably fit to do this walk but the view at the top is worth the burning lungs and legs. Magic

Machupicchu from Waynapicchu 1

The view from the top of Waynapicchu shows not just the layout of Machupicchu but in the context of the surrounding naural features. Machupicchu can be seen on the left of the picture half way up

Machu Picchu

Impossible to capture fully this place on film. It exceeded our expectations even with the huge build up we had. If you are going to go, go early. If you get the chance, climb the mountain behind, Waynapicchu for truly spectacular views of the area.
