This is Wat Chedi Luang, a Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The temple began construction in the 14th Century and took until the mid 15th Century to finish. I happened to visit here in the late afternoon and loved how the sun completely lit up the temple. This photo has a minimal amount of editing because the sun (and architects) did all the work for me!
I took this picture yesterday after an impromptu hike after asking google to take us to a waterfall. I might have malaria now but I guess I did get a nice looking picture so... worth it?
It was hour outside of Kuala Lumpur but I don't remember the name of the place.
Sunset in Guilin
Right in front of our hotel, the Ron Inn, was this beautiful lake, where the tourist walked along and the locals danced and relaxed. The most touristy thing to do was to get on a boat and cruise on the lake. The lake splits into several parts and the two famous Pagodas of Guilin are actually right behind us. I was lucky to set up my tripod without much disturbance and take a a couple of shots. Have a great week everybody:)
Pretty shots :) , love the sunset background @justdentist
Morning light bathes a hallway within the ruins of Ta Prohm in golden light. It was really special to spent some time in this temple and explore all the different halls, finding new details behind every corner. I was there three times in the morning to be able to photograph it in best possible light and also before the crowds arrived.
How can the rest of us compete!! Haha !
Longtail Boat in Thailand
When I visited Southern Thailand, I booked a tour in a longtail boat visiting some small islands in the Andaman Sea. The clear, turquoise waters and white sand beaches are very beautiful, but after some days I got tired of visiting beached and decided to travel further north.

This looks pretty professional
Thanks :)
Good angle shots :) makes the pics looks amazing @jpphotography
Thank you @rinawonderlands! You have some amazing photos!
thanks @jpphotography yours are amazing too :)
The night view at Huangpu River in Shanghai was stunning. As you can see there is still a bit of fog in the air but that does not change this pretty city. Lights were so bright is has created a nice reflection on the water. I miss holidaying in Asia!

Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
This holy shrine is located in a limestone hill, and the caves themselves are said to be 400 million years old. Tons of people flock here every day for various reasons, but by far my favorite is to get pick pocketed by the local monkeys. They just don't care and are not afraid of humans. They will go through your stuff while you're holding it, scavenging for food. That alone makes the 100 meter trek up stairs worth it.
This shot was from inside the actual cave on top of the hill where it opens up for natural daylight to illuminate the area. In contrast, right next to the entrance to this place, you can find the Dark Caves, where it is absolute darkness in the middle of day.
Hey, what a cool-looking shot ♦♦ Guess it would be a unique (& startling experience) to get scavenged by the local monkeys.
Pretty nice picture. When u mentioned 'darkness in the daytime', it reminded me of a Film i saw in which the same occurred .. It was 'PASSAGE into INDIA' .
Ever see it?
Thank you. For fun, here are some of the monkeys inside Batu, just waiting for their moment to pounce :)
Sadly, I don't really watch a lot of movies, so I miss out on a lot of great ones, unless they accidentally end up on Netflix. I've been traveling the globe for the past year and a half, so between work and travel, I have little time for much other media.
Thanks 4 the quick reply. Bet u have a lot of #FUN -- yet it can be a bit 'frantic' at times (traveling & unpacking/organizing etc) .
Neat pic.
🙊always win 🙈
Manila
My new home for the next 2 months. Manila is the most densely populated city proper on mother earth. It is well known for its jeepneys and dangerous road. The cityscape of this city is not like any city in the world.
Today’s entry is from island Padar, which is located in Indonesia, between islands Komodo and Rinca. It is a small island and not so touristic, but it offers one of the best views! After a short walk you are rewarded with view on Komodo National Park archipelago. Photo was taken early in the morning. Enjoy the view!

Thank you! I am sure that you won't regret visiting Komodo :)
Beautiful pics of beautiful island! I have been there as well, but now it's getting developed. They have stairs now to go up to the hill
I took this shot when crossing Victoria Harbour of Hong Kong in the well-known Star Ferry. Operated since 19th century, Star Ferry has been an inexpensive mode of harbour crossing for local commuters between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, as well as a popular attraction for tourists.
