Autumn in the Mountains



I just returned from a week hiking in the mountains of central Norway, and experienced all kinds of weather, often on the same day. But the rich autumn colours and fabulous effects of light made photographing a dream -the colours becoming more golden each day. This picture was one of the last I took before leaving, but it is one of my favourites.

Palace of the Winds



Hawa Mahal -an Indian palace built in 1799, though it looks so organic that it really seems to have grown rather than be constructed. Most guide-book pictures are taken squarely facing the magnificent facade, but I found it just as interesting to see a little what was behind. Truly a remarkable building.
