This Jama Masjid is a somewhat rehashed topic. I needed to do some housekeeping so before I moved these files over to my storage drive, I wanted to publish them despite having already covered this mosque relatively recently.

Produce Pillion Photo: I saw this pair zooming by at the last second so, unfortunately, I only had a split second to dial in an exposure which explains the slow shutter speed and hence a slightly blurry image.
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Famed Bridge Photo: The Golden Gate Bridge linking San Francisco to North Bay with a view of the city lights in the background. This is definitely one of the more "mature" subjects that I will ever post but the beauty of photoshop allows anyone to put their own fresh spin on a subject that's a little long in the tooth (in a photographic sense).
San Francisco, California, USA
Himalayan Backdrop Photo: People gather for the annual Bandipur Festival featuring rides, shows, food and incredible mountain views.
Bandipur, Nepal
Accepting Alms Photo: Within the walkway of Angkor Temple. (Please someone correct me if I'm wrong) I believe this is a female monk accepting alms to light a stick of incense at the feet of a headless idol. I'm not confident enough to call it a Buddha statue considering the Angkor temples were originally created by Hindus. If my Khmer (Cambodian language) were a bit more fluent - or existent - I would've asked the woman myself.
Siem Reap, Cambodia
