Azure Andaman

iPhone Friday this week comes from the beautiful island of Langkawi in Malaysia and an image shot from the Westin Resort & Spa at the south side of the island overlooking the Andaman Sea. This 5 star resort has a beautiful setting with its own private beach, spa, swimming pools and a range of restaurants in a quiet location close to the main town of Kuah.

Easy Sunday

It's Sunday and a day to relax .... just like this young boy in Siem Reap, Cambodia leaning against this tree by the river.

Here's hoping you are all having a nice, easy Sunday

Happy Hour

This is a typical scene in Amsterdam late afternoon/early evening when people kick back and have a happy hour drink. These little corner bars and cafes are usually set up very well with outside seats so you can sit and relax in the cool evening air and watch people either heading home on their bicycles or sitting at the bar/cafe opposite you doing the exact same thing! This particular bar/cafe was on the Prinsengracht canal and very close to the hotel I was staying at so it was always an easy option to drop in for  a cleansing Dutch beer.

Friday - Beer O'Clock

It's Friday at Beer O'clock .... so time to relax, chill out and have a little relaxing drink. I'm off to Singapore for the One Asia "Images of Asia" photo event which should be fun - plenty of photographers, equipment, presentations .... and a chance to meet Michael Yamashita, National Geographic photographer for a workshop on Sunday. Unfortunately Steve McCurry cancelled his visit at the last minute so I'm disappointed as I was scheduled for a workshop with him tomorrow.

Forest Fresh

There is something refreshing and relaxing about a walk in the shade of a pine forest as you look up into the branches reaching for the sky and taking in the aroma of the pine leaves. This image of a small pine forest was taken in Fremantle, Western Australia and provided a welcome relief from the heat and brightness of the sun.
