Cow and Boy 

Full size view here

This photo was taken about 40 metres away from the Killing fields in Cambodia.

The rainwater on the raised fields runs into this big drain where the buy was wading through with his cow.  I am sure it is full of bones and other stuff but he didn’t seem to care. The killing field shrine area was full of chickens, dogs, cows and children playing when I was there which gave it a surreal atmosphere.

This is another one of those photos that everyone who spends time in Osaka takes but it is hard to pass by without whipping out a camera.

Debating Tibetian Monks

I was hoping it might develop into a large scale religious brawl but it never happened.

Net mending on the Mekong

Large view here

I took this near Can Tho in Southern Vietnam. It is hard enough to stand upright in one of those boats so squatting and fixing a net at the same time takes a lot of skill.

The Wisdom of Age

I found this bunch of contented old men relaxing beside a lake in Hangzhou.

Shame I can’t speak Chinese as I bet they had some great stories to tell.

Singapore by night

Large Size view here

 A lot of people criticise Singapore because it is too uptight but it is still an interesting place to visit.

I would put it close to the top on my list of places I wouldn’t want to have to wear a suit to work however.

Hanoi Train Line

Large view here

This photo is of the train line going south out of Hanoi. People just seem to wander up and down it without even watching for trains.

Here it is with a bit of neon added using a photoshop plugin. Its a bit tacky but I like it anyway.

Star Ferry

This is the old Star Ferry on its way back to Kowloon from Hong Kong Island. It was a great way to watch the skyline while bobbing across.
