Illuminated Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest

Often labeled as the finest example of medieval architecture in Eastern Europe, the Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest is simply spectacular. As the building’s reflection sparkles off the Danube River, it’s easy to see how it has gained its reputation.

We got lucky that evening. The weather had not been cooperating during the day but by sunset the skies had cleared, creating a fantastic deep blue backdrop. The bright lights that illuminate the giant gothic dome do an excellent job of showcasing the building’s dominant presence.

It remains as one of our favourite buildings in all of Europe.

It is not only the main attraction of South Africa but it is also considered…

Life By The Lake In Myanmar

Travel Photo of the week – Life By the Lake In Myanmar.

I have been fortunate enough to have travelled to the country of Myanmar (Burma) in September, 2 months before the country held its first elections in 20 years. Myanmar has been under a military junta which had a tight grip of the country and has been notorious for oppressing its people. Just a few weeks ago, Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and a strong advocate of democracy for her country, was finally released from her 15-year home detention. The world is still being cautious on what happens next to this beautiful country in Asia.

Because of the military junta, the country has spiralled into poverty over the last 20 years. Many western nations have imposed trade embargos, which have badly hurt the local economy. Tourism has become one of their main sources of income, but even then, not a great deal of people have discovered this country as a tourist attraction.

This photo to me depicts a day in the life of a Myanmar citizen. This mother and child live by Inle Lake, one of the most beautiful places in Myanmar to visit. People use the lake for nearly all aspects of their daily life, including bathing. The mother in this photo is washing her daughter with the lake’s waters on a makeshift jetty near their loosely-built shack. I accidentally caught this photo while cruising down the lake on a motorised boat.

Larcomar At Night, Miraflores, Lima, Peru

Larco Mar – Mall By The Sea

This shot was taken at Larco Mar in the suburb of Miraflores, in Lima, the capital of Peru. Larco Mar is a modern shopping mall that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. It has great shops and has an amazing view of the Pacific. At night, the locals would relax and stroll around the lawns and parks in front of Larco Mar and enjoy the nice breeze from the ocean.

I took this photo just after dusk. The cross that is lit up on the side of the mountain across the ocean is not very visible during the day, and so having seen that lit up at night was just amazing. If you are in Lima, Peru for a visit, I’d recommend visiting this place.
