Late afternoon at a beach called Cosy Corner,

 at Byron Bay, a small rockpool. 

If you come back in mid October

I'll probably have new photos from Thailand,

will be away for a month.

Wouldn't you love a cloud in the room?

dancing

It was said to be sufi dancing, one night in Cappadocia,

am not sure how authentic, though it looked good.

Am reading 'the Brain that changes itself' some very

interesting pages on neuro plasticity, & the work of

Paul Bach y Rita

see also the work of Hossein Valamanesh

The Lover Circles his own Heart is mesmerising.

blur

This was from a moving vehicle in Nepal, almost

abstract. I like it. Am getting ready for a trip to Thailand,

I'll be away a month, & probably wont be posting.

Lisa Kristine with her very strong photos, 

& speaking about slavery - now.

Bagan, earlier this year, during the rainy season

If you click on this one, you'll see the crinkly edges 

of the leaves, they echo the tin roof ~

probably Yangon, but I don't use the camera's gps.

a great panorama of Bagan & other sites

It's amazing how many heritage sites there are,
considering there are sometimes severe earthquakes.
The good part is that the skills are kept alive: wood carving,
metal casting, everything that makes Nepalese architecture
so uniquely interesting.
It's distressing that tourist money doesn't seem to filter down
very effectively, but its easy enough to find ways to help.

Was correcting exposures on some Nepal photos,

so thought to use them here. 

These were from a moving bus: the mountains 

just outside Pokhara, a haystack along the same road.

fascinating installation

angles

This long concertina scroll in a glass box was also difficult

to photograph. Museums never seem to sell prints of such

interesting pieces.

A hall in the museum (Patan, I think) it was once a palace.

I prefer the shot at left, without flash it does something

intriguing. Flash made the walls apricot. I so enjoy how

a camera will show me something new, different to how 

this brain interpreted it.
