Kashgar is an oasis city on the Silk Road with an unique charcter. They have close connections (religion, trade, appearance) to the people in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.

For more information see my older posts with the label China.

Loo with a view

In the morning, Dubova, Romania, October 2008

While cycling the Danube bike way we found a nice place for our tent. It was close to a new (and big) house under construction. And this loo was for the workers. A quite place at night, because nobady was there.
And so beautiful at the Danube.

That is ...

Here I spend quite some time. Thomas is playing. I play with him, with the camera – or I read.

Do you see the man lying on the baggage rack

These two photos look so different, but they are from the same crowded train.
India is full of these contrasts. That makes it such a special, interesting and incredible (theire advertising) country.

What's going on?

Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China, May 2010

What? Where? Who? Why? When? And oh wonder, all these words in German start with a W too. Was, wo, wer, warum, wann.
My ABC Wednesday are all the W question words.

Who is everywhere on Tiananmen Square?
This film team got some trouble while filming there. I nearly got some trouble while taking a picture of these scene.

I love Vancouver

Welcome. At the airport. Do you see my boys and me (carrying the little one on my back)? June 2009

After one day walking on the Trans Canada Trail, we found a spot to spend the night in our tent on Mt. Burnaby,
 a magical night

A city that really holds it promises.

I love it because of:

1. Superb couchsurfing near Fraser St, ten walking minutes from E Broadway, great people, lovely neighberhood
2. The Ocean
3. The Mountains
4. V. is not to big,
5. is very friendly
6. is creativ
7. and has a relaxed atmosphere
