Konfuzius Temple in Beijing

In 2017 we visited China for the first time. Starting our trip in Beijing was great because friend's showed us around in this incredible city. One of our stops was the Konfuzius Temple. The temple is over 700 years old and is the second largest in the country. You walk through a various halls, which increase in size every time. Fore sure the temple complex is worth a visit while in Beijing!

Better known as Long-Tail Boat is a pretty narrow boat which is mainly used in Thailand. A typical Long-Tail Boat isn´t much wider then 1,80m and longer then 14-18m. It is used for passenger transport on rivers or to get from one beach to another. You can see them everywhere around Thailand and they can´t be overseen as they are mostly pretty colorful.

Food Stall at Keelung Night Market, Taiwan

Night markets are my favourite thing about Taiwan and the Keelung Miaokou night market is nothing less than spectacular. After a day of exploring the area, sampling local snacks at this fantastic night market was a great end to the day.

I have also posted this photo on my blog.

It sure is fascinating to check local foods anywhere in Asia. I am not always that adventures though to eat in the streets, lol.....

Eating street food always bears the risk of getting the worst travel sickness of your life.. But I love trying different street food so much that it is totally worth the risk for me! Besides, in Taiwan I have had no problems at all so far.

TokyoCold.jpg

Shot from a hotel bar in Shinagawa. It's looking North towards Tokyo Tower (332.9 metres or 1,092 ft). At the time of construction in 1958 Tokyo Tower was the tallest freestanding tower in the world, taking the title from the Eiffel Tower by 13 metres. Depending on where you draw the boundaries there are between 9 million and 38 million people living in Tokyo. The prefecture forms part of the world's most populous metropolitan area of 37.8 million people.

OMG, that is way too many people.... It sure is not easy to live in a place like that. What a great click!

Bagan, Myanmar
I took this picture 4 days ago on my travel in Myanmar. The location was in Bagan, the famouse Pagoda (Temple) province of Burma. The view from the tower Viewpoint Tower where I went up to was absolutely breathtaking.

That shot definitely makes me want to visit that place. Awesome view!

Thanks buddy! Oh please, go there as soon as you can! Trust me, it's such an unique place in Asia. Its really incredible! @betterthanhome

It sure does look amazing!

Absolutely, Thanks Tomas!

In the house of Sunset


Today we are coming back again to Tel-Aviv and its quite stormy week in February few years ago. At first sight pretty straightforward shot just straight to the sun, but actually the most tricky one not to lose too much details of sun while overexposing. Not to mention nice reflection and drama in the sky and, yes, finally pretty stunning colors.

Looks like amazingly warm golden sunset, but in fact was very cold (as for Israel) and windy

Enjoy the scenery!

This is the Ruiguang Pagoda in Suzhou near Shanghai. Pic is from 2009 & I came across the pagoda probably just by accident when I was walking around town. The pagoda is supposed to be the oldest one in Suzhou, built in 247, made from brick & wood & roughly 43 meters high.
My complete post is here.

BTW, if you're ever in Shanghai, be sure to make a trip to Suzhou. It's worth it.

Great click, thank you so much for your participation.

One month to travel to Asia again, will be abe to share a lot more photos in the near future! :) Meanwhile, here goes another photo taken in last visit to Turkey. A wider view of the beautiful landscape of cappadocia, taken in Goremé national park.
