Paragliding in Bright
What an amazing thing to photograph, the contrasting colours are just spectacular. The paraglides soar like an eagle climbing the thermals to gather as much height as they can so they can fly up to 5 hours.

Happy days in Langkawi Malaysia
Frangipani resort in Langkawi, Malaysia is such a lovely laid back resort on the beach, that the 3 days we spent there rejuvenated, relaxed our bodies and cleared our minds for weeks afterwards.

The blue house in Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia
Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion in Georgetown, Penang is a UNESCO protected Building which has been used to film many movies including the beautiful Oscar winning film Indochine with Cathering Deneuve. This building has won many awards for its conservation and for its boutique hotel.
Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
Our first night in Kuala Lumpur we have to eat at a night market, we can’t wait to sample as much of this food as possible. The stalls are just so fantastic, full of the most fabulous fresh looking produce.
festivals
We were driving in the mountains near Ubud when we saw this lady and her two daughters walking along the road with food on their heads. Such a surprisingly beautiful sight amid the chaos of the traffic.
They were off to a festival at the local temple, we stopped and I took a few images, not wanting to disturb their moment.
I have to say that the Balinese are the most generous and lovely people; they are so fantastic to photograph. Whenever I asked to take a photograph I always was allowed and usually with a smile.
motorbikes
In Bali motorbikes are the main form of transport and who needs a car when you see what they can carry? I saw many things being transported, children hanging on carefree (apparently the limit is 4!) Others with boxes and boxes between their legs, including around 10 dozen eggs once (I was too slow to take the shot).
I did get this shot though!
bali drinks
The Balinese are great at drinks, their cocktails are quiet fantastic. We had a few to taste over our holiday, my personal favourite being the Mojito (just perfect in the heat).
We also had our fair share of mocktails and just plain juices, all wonderful. But beware the yellowish Absolut Vodka available at many roadside shops! Its only for motorbike consumption.
