Today’s photograph: All along the False Bay coast of the Cape peninsula there are specially built sea pools, designed to keep kids safe from waves (and possibly sharks). This is one of the most elaborate, at Miller’s point, near Simonstown. I took this last December, as part of a series on the granite boulders of this area. It was taken at dawn, and my eye was caught by the silvery shimmer on the sea wall of the pool.
The penultimate set of photos from this trip. Our last two destinations, the amazing temples of Bagan and finally the transcendental Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon. After hightailing it out of Mandalay, we moved on to Bagan – equalled only by Angkor Wat in Cambodia for the number and beauty of its temples. In contrast…

Shot last summer in the little park adjacent to the Oxo tower in London’s South Bank. I liked the guy’s expansive smoking style, his impressive tattoo and…
Waiting for the taxi OK. This might be a bit messy, but this is the start of an experiment to put a daily or at least fairly frequent photo on the site, using only mobile devices. So this shot was taken on my little Olympus Pen E-P5, then wirelessly transferred to my very neat Lenovo…
In my last post I described a new approach to showing images from Himalayan and other treks. Using that approach, here are a selected set of photographs from the very fine trek to Nar and Phu that my friend J*y and I did in spring 2009. A brief word about Nar and Phu first. …
