We always see the results of a photographer’s work, but sometimes the history of taking a photo is even more interesting than the photo itself.

You may have seen this photo of the Neuschwanstein castle in Bavaria million times. The overview of the castle which opens from the Marienbrucke – a bridge over an 80-meters gorge with a waterfall – is captured by thousands of photos, posters, puzzles, mugs, mouse pads and so on.

Sure enough I wanted to take some original shots, to find an unusual, undisco

Lang Biang is the highest mountain in Lam Vien plateau with 2,167 meters above sea level. The mountain is in Lac Duong (Lam Dong) and is about 12 kilometers far from Da Lat city. The moutain’s name - Lang Biang - has origin from the love story of K’Lang and H’Biang. 

Tragic story

According to the legend, K’Lang is in Lat tribe and H’Biang is in Cil tribe. K’Lang chanced on H’Lang when they went for  hunting and picking fruits in the forest. When H’Lang got in an accident, K’Lang bravely saved her

Vietnam is well known as a paradise of delicious dishes. Unlike English, Vietnamese prefers to eat vegetable rather than eat meat. Vietnamtourism.org.vn makes a list of popular vegetable in Vietnam for tourists to consult when visiting our country.

When we’re at home reading the headlines, watching the news, we can so easily reduce people of other cultures and countries to their problems.

I was reminded of this when listening to a recent broadcast of Tapestry on CBC Radio (their podcasts are free). I was also reminded of an objection I received to a post I wrote in which I suggested that Cuba has a unique sense of luxury. This is a bit of a response.

We are always more than the sum of our problems.

Palermo ‘Hollywood’ is an identity that was recently fabricated, but this area has been renowned as a popular place to live in Buenos Aires since the late 1800s.

As you discover Palermo Hollywood you will probably be struck by more of the old, Spanish-style architecture than other areas of the city, and also fewer high-rise buildings, apart from newer apartment towers. That’s because for a long time there was a law prohibiting new buildings in this community from being

Of Gods and Men is proof if it were ever needed that even today the essence of a great movie continues to be about the quality of the script and the acting. There is no computer generated wizardry here and no expensive film sets. Yet by drilling down to an astonishing level of detail Xavier Beauvois has expertly told the moving and ultimately tragic tale of a group of nine French monks in Algeria who get caught up in the country’s civil war in the 1990s.

Most surfers are probably already aware that the practice of Yoga results in great benefits for the physical body and beyond.

Yoga increases mental clarity and our ability to concentrate with intention on specific goals and desires. The breathing techniques used in this ancient science are amazing for increasing lung capacity, while helping to lengthen our ability to retain the breath (so necessary for surfers).

On a physical level, the postures (asanas) create flexibility, tone, strengthen, and
