DEM DEUTSCHEN VOLKE – To the German People. The Reichstags new dome allows people to walk the spiral walkway around a mirrored core to the top. The countrys leaders can look up from parliament below and see those they represent, traversing the walkway above.

From Bayon, one of the many Khmer temples at Cambodias Angkor, dating back to the 13th century. Theres some 200 or so of these faces at this temple. It’s believed the faces are of the king Jayavarman VII, incarnate as the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. Regardless, it’s a moving, eerie place, where serene, smiling faces are watching you at every angle.

This temple is in the town of Nyaung U, in the historical area of Bagan, Burma. It was built in 1102 during the reign of King Kyanzittha. We caught it as the sun set, the light reflecting off the gold leaf stupa.

It’s believed the faces are of the king Jayavarman VII, incarnate as the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. This is the second picture in this series. The serene, all knowing expression of the giant stone faces, looking out to the Cambodian country-side.

The day bought a beautiful silver haze over the water.

The Swiss Alps in the Jungfrau region. The rain abated for a few hours to let us emerge from our soaked tent. The alps are a timeless reminder of how grand and ancient our planet is. It’s belittling and you spend a moment reflecting on the meager scale of our own existence, or you grab some nordic walking poles and do your best to scale them!
-
Another from Cambodias Bayon temple in Angkor. I’d like to know what people think, I feel there’s probably a few different ways this could be represented.
-
The Taj Mahal, one of those places that exceeds everything you’ve ever known about it, when you finally see it in person. It’s perfect. It was completed in 1650 in Islamic Northern India by Shah Jahan, as a tomb for his wife Mumtaz Mahal who died giving birth to her fourteenth child.

New Yorks Chrysler Building, Art Deco’s archetype.

We’ve lived through many atrocities in our brief time on this planet. The holocaust is our steadfast icon to which we cry ‘never again’. What happened in Europe during the Nazi reign of power was unspeakable and set the baseline for the most barbarous of human will. But what of Cambodia? In 1975 a communist faction called the Khmer Rouge overthrew a destabilised government to take power by coup detat. A jubilious population in Phnom Penh falsely believed they were supporting a coup that would restore the power of an embattled king. That afternoon, the Khmer Rouge began marching civilians from the capital and into the fields where they were forced into labor camps. Intellectuals and those incapable of hard labor were typically executed on the spot. Interrogation camps and torture centers were established, most notably in a Phnom Penh high school. At the time, Cambodias population was around 8 million. When the Cambodian people were liberated by the Vietnamese army some 4 years later, the population stood at 6 million. A quarter of the Cambodian people had been murdered by the Khmer Rouge. The publicity this atrocity received over the following years was met with skepticism and allegedly a campaign of cover up lead by a US government widely believed to have assisted the Khmer Rouge faction into power. I encourage you all to read a little bit about what happened here, and if possible, pay the country a visit. I was thanked so many times by local people for supporting tourism and helping these people recover from one of our worst chapters in history. This picture was taken at one of the mass grave sites. There’s a memorial temple made from the skulls of those who were exhumed here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_Rouge

I could always imagine at Angkor, the ancient Khmer Kings walking through their stone doorways to the majesty of their temples.

A day trip from Mandalay, Burma.. Sagaing sits on the Ayeyarwady River and has a peaceful lookout across a landscape speckled with the golden stupas of temples.

Homes perched on the caldera of a volcano. The volcanic colours of the soil meet the blues and whites of Mediterranean Greece. You may even see a few people sunbathing.

At Bayon Temple, Angkor, Cambodia.

A jewel in the crown of Rajasthans many forts. Bundi Palace. Parts of Rajasthan can be so dry and I wanted to reflect this in the colour. Where the landscape and the palace share the same earthly tones.

How the 24th of August AD79 might have looked at Pompeii.

Taken on the streets of York and post-processed. I love the olden architecture of this town. The mis-shapen houses on the verge of crumbling, the faded old colours and the wonderful wrought iron lamps.

The warden’s call in the eleventh hour. / And it’s easy to say but it’s hard to remember / That praise is for suckers and death is forever. / Under your nose but just over your head. / Martyr meets maker in ten shades of red. / These are your twelve steps. / Take them on your knees. / Show them at the door and they’ll let you in free.
