  • Morning sunbeams through the Mani Sithu market stalls in Nyaung-U, Bagan. A fascinating and sprawling market for all sorts of everyday goods - great to explore (although for me the low ceilings in the covered sections were a little challenging)

  • An oasis in the jungle. This 300m stretch of pools sitting on a natural limestone bridge over the Cahabón River in a gorge in central Guatemala is certainly very welcome after a walk through the heat of the day. Hiking up to El Mirador, overlooking the valley you can get this great view of the turquoise clear water - before dashing back for another swim, or to explore the caves underneath.

  • Walking the streets of Trinidad de Cuba. These wonderfully preserved Spanish colonial style streets come alive with the glow of both the morning and evening sun. Combined with classic vintage cars scattered about it is a remarkable place to explore - and a number of the very friendly Casas Particulares, where you stay with the local families
    Cuba-008-20070328.jpg
  • Antigua de Guatemala. Memories of the colonial past of this historic city founded in 1524, combined with the rich colours of the local Mayan culture provides a backdrop to a gem of a place to explore. Filled with language schools and cafes, plenty to do whilst relaxing and studying.

  • Ait Benhaddou. Between Marrakesh and the Sahara desert, just over the High Atlas mountains is the fascinating and highly photogenic ighrem or fortified trading town, used (and repaired for) a huge range of films, from Game of Thrones, Gladiator and The Mummy to The Living Daylights and The Man Who Would Be King. The Kasbah is now a UNESCO world heritage site and worth exploring up to the fort on the hilltop

  • Exploring the souks of Marrakech. North of the gloriously mad Jemma al Fna the souk sprawls north. Traditionally all souks were divided and laid out according to separate commodities being made and sold, with the most valuable products (gold, manuscripts) positioned in the centre and lesser goods radiating out from there.

  • Market stall outside the mines of Cerro Rico, Potosi, Bolivia. Potosi is one of the highest cities in the world at 4,090 metres (13,420 ft), the remote mountain behind it was a massive silver mine, discovered in 1545 and at it's peak an estimated 85% of the silver produced in the central Andes came from Cerro Rico. As a result of mining the city of Potosí became one of the largest cities in the New World.

  • A classic 'chicken bus' in the Highlands of Guatemala. Reconditioned and extensively redecorated school busses are everywhere on the roads of Guatemala. Sadly for me, being 2m tall, a bus designed for school transit does not really help with comfort on long journeys !

  • A contemplative smoke. Whilst the anti-smoking campaigns have gained momentum, Smoking remains popular across the country - along with chewing betel-nut. Cheroots (cigars with the end trimmed off), from the Tamil word curuttu continue to be made by hand in many of the village markets.

  • Face of Buddha, Ananda Pahto, Bagan built in 1105 AD during the reign (1084–1113) of King Kyanzittha of the Pagan Dynasty. The temple layout is in a cruciform with several terraces leading to a small pagoda at the top covered by an umbrella known as hti, which is the name of the umbrella or top ornament found in almost all pagodas in Myanmar. The Buddhist temple houses four standing Buddhas, each one facing the cardinal direction of East, North, West and South. The temple is said to be an architectural wonder in a fusion of Mon and adopted Indian style of architecture. The impressive temple has also been titled the "Westminster Abbey of Burma". The temple has close similarity to the Pathothamya temple of the 10th–11th century, and is also known as “veritable museum of stones”.

  • Beach life in Rio de Janeiro - the calm before a football match. Beaches in Rio are a such a centre for life and the dramatic social gaps are not easy to see as everyone comes in beachwear to play / dance / swim together. The evening sea-breeze blows a hazy mist across the beach to give this gentle glow.

  • Ananda temple is considered to be one of the best surviving masterpiece of Mon architecture. Sadly, also one of many hit by recent earthquakes and is undergoing major restoration. The temple is known as the finest, largest, best preserved and most revered of the Bagan temples. Built around 1105 by King Kyanzittha, this perfectly proportioned temple heralds the stylistic end of the Early Bagan period and the beginning of the Middle period.

  • Life goes on beside the U-Bein bridge near Mandalay as people hussle along in the evening light.

  • The Wave. Antoni Gaudi's wonderfully organic colonnade in Park Guell, Barcelona. A UNESCO world heritage site, it was built between 1900 and 1914, this was an ambitious plan by Gaudi and his patron, Eusebi Güell to build a housing development in a natural park. The whole place is designed to merge as sympathetically with the landscape as possible with natural designs and local materials.

  • Sunrise in Bagan, with a hint of drama. Bagan in central Burma is one of the world’s greatest archeological sites, a sight to rival Machu Picchu or Angkor Wat but – for the time being at least – without the visitors. The setting is sublime – a 26 square-mile plain, part-covered in stands of palm and tamarind caught in a bend of the lazy-flowing Irrawaddy (Ayeyarwady) river and framed by the hazy silver-grey of distant mountains.

  • Sunset at Mandalay fort. Looking like a massive soundwave on the skyline. Mandalay Palace was the primary royal residence of King Mindon and King Thibaw, the last two kings of the country. The complex ceased to be a royal residence and seat of government on 28 November 1885 when, during the Third Anglo-Burmese War, troops of the Burma Field Force entered the palace and captured the royal family. The British turned the palace compound into Fort Dufferin, named after the then viceroy of India. Throughout the British colonial era, the palace was seen by the Burmese as the primary symbol sovereignty and identity. Much of the palace compound was destroyed during World War II by allied bombing; only the royal mint and the watch tower survived. A replica of the palace was rebuilt in the 1990s with some modern materials.

  • Cat wandering the Sule Paya Buddhist temple in Yangon. Known and venerated in ancient Egypt as "Mau" cats were domesticated (as much as one can ever domesticate a cat) around 10,000years ago - later than dogs. Interestingly, the forests of Asia contain more species of cat than any other continent.
