More rocks at Coffs Harbour
Coffs Harbour is pretty. It is the home of the Big Banana – the first of Australia’s Big Things – and is one of the fastest growing regional centres. The allure of Coffs Harbour is the quality of life that it offers its residents along with the mostly pleasant climate. This shot was taken from [...]
Khas Mahal
The Khas Mahal in New Delhi’s Red Fort is one of the best examples of the Mughal Architecture. Built by the fourth Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, this section of the Red Fort is cast together in white marble. The open plan layout of the living quarters is typical of Mughal architecture, with canals set within [...]
Coffs Harbour
Just a quick post for today… more rocks at Coffs Harbour, taken ofcourse, during my trip there in November. I was mostly playing around with long exposures and a neutral density filter.

The Rocks at Coffs Harbour
Coffs Harbour is a sleepy little town tucked away between Sydney and the Gold Coast. Its appeal is something called the Big Banana – which is really the sculpture of a very large fruit on top of a shack. The coastal route that runs along the Pacific Ocean from Melbourne to Brisbane has a range [...]
Qutub Minar
At 237.8 ft, New Delhi’s Qutub Minar is the world’s tallest brick minaret and a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is notable for being one of the earliest and most prominent examples of Indo-Islamic architecture. It was built by Qutb-ud-din Aibak who won Delhi from the Prithviraj under Muhammad of Ghor as his commander in chief, [...]
Love bugs
When you take care of things, they tend to last a lifetime. Take these Volkswagen buses… classics in their own right, and restored to serve as wedding vehicles for a couple that was tying the knot in Coffs Harbour NSW earlier in November 2010. The flawless paint jobs and shiny chrome are testimony to the [...]
Humayun’s Tomb
Humayun’s Tomb is one of the many UNESCO world heritage sites in India that I had the pleasure to visit during my trip to India this year. Yet another example of the amazing architecture that the Mughals brought to India, this tomb is home to over 100 individuals laid to rest in the assortment of [...]
The Last Resting Place of an Emperor
Every human being has a final destiny where he or she must meet their maker. This applies even for the greatest of monarchs. Pictured above is the final resting place of Humayun, the second Mughal emperor who ruled India from 1530 to 1540AD. Humayun’s reign was perhaps the most conflict ridden among the early Mughal [...]
Eastern light
At the helm of a small coastal town known mostly for its surf culture, resident hippies and breathtaking beaches, Byron Bay’s most iconic claim to fame is its lighthouse which is perched close to the easternmost point on mainland Australia. The lighthouse is easily accessible by road 24 hours a day. You can drive up [...]
Glacial Cascades
Cascades, waterfalls, and forests – all fed by the cleanest glacial fed runoff that you will ever find anywhere in nature. This is nature at its purest and most refreshing, and you’ll only find it in New Zealand. Yet another one of my pieces from Fjordlands National Park taken abot 45 minutes drive from Milford [...]
Signs to everywhere
Somwhat cliché, but when you see a signpost with a set of arrows like this, you just have to capture it. I’ve seen signs like this on the edge of Navy Pier in Chicago, Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, Moab, Nebraska, Tasmania, Singapore and New York City, but none with quite such a dramatic sky [...]
The Chasm
New Zealand’s South Island is rugged and well watered, thanks to the relief rain that the island receives from the weather systems generated by the Southern Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The rainfall has augmented glacier-fed streams throughout the island, which are prevalent throughout the Fjordland’s National Park. The Chasm is one of the most [...]
Milford Sound
The fjordlands of New Zealand’s South Island are a regular crowd-puller and tourist attraction. To give you an example of what the fjordlands are, they are access to the sea that comes right up against the foot of significantly tall moutains surrounding them. The drive to Milford Sound is especially interesting in that while negotiating [...]
Trans-Alpine Express
I love flying. It shortens long trips a long way… but sometimes, the best way to enjoy the views of a countryside are to catch a train. The Trans-Alpine Express runs from Christchurch to Greymouth and back, and travels across some of New Zealand’s most glorious rugged landscapes. The four hour trip makes a few [...]
