Men of Mussoorie


These four men were sat on a bench on the famous Camel's Back Road in Mussoorie, umbrellas at the ready for the incessant rain and mist that rolled down from the hills. Mussoorie is a hill station in the foothills of the Himalayas close to Dehradun ain India and offers a cooler climate and relief from the heat of the lowlands. These men were probably labourers or porters waiting on their next job.

Rain Tree


This magnificent rain tree is situated in central Kuala Lumpur in the small Christian Birch Road Cemetery. It is so nice to see some mature trees like this still standing and has probably only been spared from development due to the burial ground it sits in. These trees with their large spread of branches and foliage provide welcome shade from the tropical sun.
