Photo of the Week, Skulls of the Killing Fields, Cambodia

August 17, 2011 by Jack Leave a Comment

The Killing Fields in Phnom Penh are probably the most depressing place to visit in Cambodia. The realisation that mass killing of their own people went on not that long ago. Knowing that it was only 40 odd years ago it gives the place a certain edge. You can walk around past the mass graves […]

There were quite a few different animals that I held for the first time on this trip. The Scorpion, King Cobra and various spiders. Take a look at the coffee plantations and the rest of the bugs I got to hold in the Cameron Highlands

Photo of the Week, Gold Leaf Buddha, Golden Palace, Bangkok

June 22, 2011 by Jack Leave a Comment

This week I have selected something a little different. This is a small Buddha in the center of the Golden Palace, Bangkok. Buddhists take a small section of gold leaf and place it on the Buddha after praying. In my time in Asia I saw so many Buddha’s it was unreal but this was one […]
