Iran

Christmas 2012 in Iran

Over Christmas 2012 I visited Iran. I went mostly to big cities, from the capital Teheran to Shiraz, Yazd, Esfahan and also Kashan, Dakhmah and the remains of Persepolis. As it was winter there was in some places even a little bit of snow falling. Wherever I went, I met only very few tourists from other countries. And, as everybody says who has been there, the people are extremely nice and happy to meet you.

You can also find a few pictures in the photo series Lifestyle, Water, Plant Life, and On The Way.

Venezuela

Venezuela

Here comes a new photo series: Venezuela. I went there in 2011. That year was a year of experiencing fantastic nature. And after climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania a  few months before it was the second longer hiking tour this time with Roraima and Angel Falls. The focus of this trip was clearly nature. First we climbed the tepui Roraima in Canaima National Park, an amazing experience. Then heading towards Angel Falls, Salto Angel, the world´s highest water fall., followed by smaller, but wider water falls close to the beaches. The only cities visited were Santa Elena and at the end of the trip the capital Caracas.

Syria

Yemen

Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan

Central Asia, Syria, and Yemen

Central Asia, Syria, and Yemen – three new photo series added to Asia Pacific.

The photos of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan are from 2007, to Yemen I went in 2008 and to Syria in 2009. All countries are within the Asian continent, but all are very different, and simply sensational places to visit.

Also you can find a few new pictures from these countries in the categories Life Style, Cities and Plant Life.

As time goes on, things change, many places in Yemen and Syria will now look different. – Why??? –
