Read MoreChateau de Chillon
Among the best-preserved medieval castles in Europe, is in Veytaux, only about 3km south of Montreux, your first glimpse of the castle is unforgettable – an elegant, turreted pile jutting out into the water, framed by trees and the craggy mountains. You could easily spend a half-day soaking up the atmosphere.

last picture during the EM in Zürich. i wanted for long time to get a picture like this, and took even longer to find a properly lit ferris…
Read MoreUnique tram
during the EM this little tram was going back and forth as a regular line, till in one evening i realized there is a fridge (actually 3) in the tram, so i jumped in it, took the picture and of course i couldn’t help myself in joining the coke side of life
Read MoreZürich during EM_1
my absolute picture of those weeks, nothing much to say, just that i took it after RO-FR and for those who do not speak german EM: Europäische Meisterschaft – european championship
Read MoreZürich during EM_2
to be honest i was quite impressed how the whole European Championship has been contained to only few isolated areas of the town (same in basel, bern, geneva). outside these areas you actually could go without even knowing a huge event is taking place. custom laser projections on Gross Münster were my favorites of Zürich […]
Read MoreZürich during EM_3
as i was staying behind the tripod, having a cigarette and waiting for the next slide to be projected, i started chatting with the dude responsible with the content being projected, obviously the best place to photograph them was right next to the “laser machine”, and this is how for the last time during the […]

Read Moretraffic in Bangkok
taken from another traisha this picture illustrates the most annoying group of persons in ASIA, the traisha-drivers, they will always always always ask you if you need a taxi, they’re cheap and they would drive you anywhere you want, even routes like Bangkok-Bucharest are possible, at least they claim so…
Read Moregolden temple
the golden temple in Chang Mai, really nice, but filled with tourist wich won’t respect the silence of a temple, some were talking very loud during prayers, and lots of flashes…not me!

these demons are really really impressive, about 5m tall, vivid colors, one could just stare at them for dozens of minutes in a row

up in the temple of Chang Mai, while i was disappointed due to the clouds ruining the sunset i got a glimpse of this separated terrace and its scholar

Read Morerice water-puppets
one of the nicest things to see in Hanoi. these water-puppets are made of rice, so their usage is quite limited, each 3 months a new set needs to be done. the stage consists in a “huge” swimming pool, the shows illustrating different episodes of the vietnamese life throughout the year
Read MoreHa Long Bay
probably the nicest thing Vietnam has to offer after Sapa (which was unaccessible due to the massive land-slides), being of course a World Heritage Site. the vietnamese were pretty disapointed it didnt make on the list of the 7 Wonders of the Modern World. i must admit it was funny to see ad-posters promoting it as the […]
Read MoreBuddha park
only few km from Vinentiane (Lao’s capital), most probably the most important site to visit in the area, besides the shooting range in Vientiane, it consists in an interesting collection of statues from Buddhism and Hindu religions, most of them are on average of about 2m high but some are really impressive, as the huge […]

one of my favorites from Laos, 100% natural light, no post processing, we were heading towards the boat to leave that little village when I saw him through a broken window, didn’t have the guts to do it, but in the end, turned around, opened the wooden door, smiling I pointed to the camera and here I […]

Trift Glacier, one of the most spectacular places I’ve ever seen. It took me about 1hr to find this sweet spot, it would’ve been great to have either a parachute or climbing rope with me…
