The more I travel, the more I realize two things: cultures are so different and people are so similar. I marvel thinking that a few days ago I was on top of the mountains in Bhutan and now I'm seeing mountains come out straight from the ocean in Thailand.... Read more >

Last Day –
Dec 11 2010
We left
Punakha for Paro at around 8.00. The weather was great. On the way we met some
monkeys and stopped for a short while at Dochula Pass. It was so cloudy that
most of the mountains cannot be seen. In the end ... Read more >

Day 7 – Dec
10 2010
The day did
not start so early. We woke up at 6 drove to Gasa Dzongkhag. It was a misty

Day 6 – Dec
9 2010
Today was a
very special day of the trip. We woke up at 4.30 am to go and photograph the
White Bellied Hereon. Much rarer than the Black Necked Cranes, these birds had
a humble population of only 26 in Bhutan. According ... Read more >

Day 5 – Dec
8 2010
This morning
we woke up at 5.30 for a crane shoot again. Like in an operation, Jason and I
slowly and secretly went a long way around to sneak close to the flock of
cranes in the centre of the wetland. Afterwards, ... Read more >

Day 4 – Dec
7 2010
I was well
awake at 5.30 am. The sub-zero temperature plus the dark sky promised an
adventure. We were “shooting” the Black Necked Cranes this morning. From the
road looking down, the highest wetland in the world looked ... Read more >

Day 3 – Dec
6 2010
In the
morning I went across some early shops which sell various items. After walking
around, we ended at the Clock Tower of Thimphu. It is noticeable that
everywhere in Bhutan has a religious imprint. I spotted ... Read more >

Day 2 – Dec
5 2010
7.00 am – I
didn’t sleep much, thanks to the dogs barking all night outside the hotel. It’s
quite strange that you can see dogs almost everywhere around here. Anyway, a walk
around the hotel shows me an interesting ... Read more >

Ok, so he was about 100 meters away and the Bhutan King Police asked me to put away my camera, but still. He's soooo handsome, like a movie star. Today is National Day and the big celebration is here in Timphu. I will try to share some pics, if I ... Read more >

Bangkok was an assault to the senses. Loud, the streets full of people, the sidewalks full of vendors, trinkets everywhere, the sweet smell of food intermingling with the smell of sweaty people making a tough living. Bhutan is the opposite. The entrance ... Read more >

My photos were all shot on different cameras ranging from point & shoot to Digital SLR since I did not have one then. Every time I get an opportunity to go out in the field or expect unique occasion, without hesitation I would borrow a camera. People ...
