Namsam Tower

There is a tower in the middle of Seoul called Namsam Tower and at the top of it, lovers go to lace locks on the rails.  The theory is that for as long as your lock is linked so to is your love.

The hopeless romantic in me likes this idea.

Inside the tower they have created windows that point in the direction of all the major cities in the world.  I think my Dad was a little homesick.

Korea revisited.

I have finally unpacked my hard drive that had all the images I shot in our last few weeks in Korea.  So you will be bombarded with Korea for a few weeks as I work my way through all I shot.  It is amazing how much you shoot when you know this will be the last time you see something.

These images were taken at a Palace in Seoul when they were changing the guards.

From my Beach Chair

The first few images here were taken from my beach chair.  Everyday these men would come along the beach and sell things. 

 I know they are popped as I overexposed them and no 

matter how hard I try to fix them - still learning in Light Room

...... any suggestions happily accepted.

The last two were taken around our resort - I just thought they were lovely images.

Random

There is no theme here - just some random shots from our last trip.

Thank-you all for your comments - they are so appreciated.

New Year's Day

Thank-you peas for being so welcoming - it is nice to be back.

We had a quiet New Year's Eve in Bangkok and on 1st January 2009 we took a walk. 

This was feast for our senses - flowers, bells, incense and hundreds of people.

On the first day of each year everyone comes to temples for prayers for the new year.
Every street corner had sights like the photos below.

Water Lilies

My presence on this blog has been lacking - this is about to change.  I am determined to keep the posts regularly coming.  

We had a couple of weeks in Thailand over Christmas and I actually 

had some time to just hang and take photos.  This was just what the spirit needed.  

I found these water lilies swarming with bees.  It w

as fascinating to watch.
