Morning Has Broken

Morning Has Broken, originally uploaded by Kenny Maths.

The photographer: “was tired and weary, mostly through not having slept very well as a result of my first few days at the altitude of the Tibetan plateau. However, given the chance to see sunrise over the Potala Palace (the former home of the Dalai Lama), you just have to book that early morning call.

When I took this, I was the sole European representative, surrounded by about a dozen Japanese photographers, all of us with carefully interlocked tripods (the rock we were standing on to get this vantage point wasn’t that big!). At one point while we were waiting for interesting light, we started taking shots of the group. Ahhh…memories! :-)

The Rose Red City

The Rose Red City, originally uploaded by Kenny Maths.

the photographer: “A spot of precarious climbing and clambering was called for to get this shot. This is the building known as ‘The Treasury’ from Petra, Jordan. It featured in ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’. Mind you, I didn’t find any death traps inside! ;-)
