Snapping Photos in the Land of Smiles

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

Thailand is one of the best places to take your camera. Why? Because there’s so much going on in everyday life in Thailand First off, street life lends itself to photography with a real social assemblage on the streets : foodstalls, children playing, mobile “kitchens” attached to motorbikes (Thai version of fast food?), and even elephants idly plodding the streets. That’s not all, the weather can be quite amazing, with thunderstorms coming along and vanishing in moments. You are not in short supply of photo opportunities in Thailand.

Thailand is a “what you see is what you get” type of country – full of amicable people, hazardous drivers, food stalls on every street corner, and dogs all over the place. However, guesthouses give you a fantastic service. In point of fact, no matter where you are, anticipate an amiable and professional service.

So you want some examples of such photos of Thailand to give you an idea of what I’m rambling about here? Then check our photo gallery on thailandimpression.com. Our website features pictures from all different types of scenes in Thailand : from countryside photos, beach photos of Thailand, to sunset photos, photos in Bangkok and other urban photos, as well as more traditional photos of Thai temples. On this website we show you our view of Thailand, not only through the lens of a photographic camera, but in manipulation of the resulting photo via photographic software – to twist the reality into sometimes subtle, sometimes radical new views of what the camera caught. We hope our site can give you some inspiration to take a brave step and journey over to Thailand with your camera as witness to your own experiences. Even if for some incomprehensible reason you felt you’d exhausted all the possibilities “The Land of Smiles” has to offer you, there are the neighboring countries of Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and Malaysia to discover too!

Aphrodites Island

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

Cyprus has been home to many cultures over the ages, but to most of us simply know it as a great hotspot, which has made it a very popular destination with tourists, with over 2.4 million visiting the republic. The island receives over 330 days of sunshine a year, which has given it the name The Island of the Sun. There is no shortage of travel companies tailoring Cyprus holidays and low cost airlines including Monarch offering routes to Paphos and Larnaca, it has never been easier to get there.

While attracting visitors from around the world, most of them tend to be Europeans. In recent years Russians and Poles have become poolside regulars alongside the French, Germans and, of course, us Brits.. One of the main reasons why there is such a heavy presence of Brits in Cyprus is because of the positioning of the British Armed forces in the southern Greek part of the island. With quick and easy access to the Middle East, this is likely to be the case for some time to come. The impact of this on the surrounding area is that Cypriots have grown used to, and in turn, now cater for the Brits. English is widely spoke and understood among nearly all age groups to driving on the left side of the road. No doubt the similarity to the UK makes us Brits feel more at home, but in a more favourable climate.

Much of olden Cyprus is giving away to culture that is more eclectic and less traditional. However, this side of Cyprus, that continues to attract millions of tourists year after year, is only one aspect of the island and is concentrated around the tourist hotspots of Paphos, Larnaca and Ayia Napa. Fortunately as you venture off the beaten track, your are soon reminded of the character that has made this island a popular destination for millennia.

Its worth tearing yourself away from the beach and visiting the Troodod Mountains if you can. In the heart of the mountains you will find the Kykkos monastery, a UNESCO world heritage site since 1998. Housing art and exhibits on ancient Greece, the monastery has the twin function of being a museum for visitors and a practising monastery lived in by worshiping monks. Kykkos even has its own winery where the monks bottle and sell their wine. A daytrip to the Troodos Mountains can be a welcome change from the beach and with overnight accommodation available in many of the authentic villages dotted about; you might want to spend a few days here sampling another side of Cyprus.

Coming year Anthony Loeff the European mountaineer is reporting the scales for Mount Everest

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

Climber from Nepal, 77, oldest person to climb to the top of Everest More than 3179 people have climbed to the summit since it was first conquered in 1953 by New Zealander Edmund Hillary, who died in January, and Nepal’s Tenzing Norgay.

Therefore, the decision to actualize a long-time personal goal left Andrew Brash with some internal uncertainties, he cited the political actions of China and Nepal as providing the greatest adversity he faced on his journey. Bahadur Sherchan and four climbing guides reached the 29,035-foot (8,850-meters) summit of the world’s highest mountain early Sunday, said Ramesh Chretri, an official with Nepal’s ministry of tourism.

“The Chinese weren’t allowing anybody on Mt Everest. They ended up commandeering it for themselves, even though the Mount Everest is shared by two countries. They flexed their muscles this year all the in name of the Olympic spirit, but it was hardly spirited at all.”

As he planned for the climb, Sherchan told reporters he wanted to inspire fellow senior citizens. He also said many Nepalese have established records on Chomolungma, so it was only fitting that the record for the oldest climber to reach the summit should also belong to a Nepali. Hall was frostbitten and severely disoriented due to altitude sickness. Min Bahadur Sherchan returned a hero to Calgarians. “Mount Everest this year became a political pawn,” he said with some frustration.

The 76-year-old man from Nepal is now the oldest person to have reached the top of Chomolungma or Mount Everest. Bahadur Sherchan returned this week from Nepal after successfully climbing to the summit of the Mount Everest. Bahadur Sherchan last attempt resulted in the rescue of Lincoln Hall, an Australian climber who was left by his team in the “death zone.”

With the Chinese preparing for the impending summer Olympic Games, Andrew Brash noted that the government’s actions hardly reflected the Olympic spirit. His first found him within 229 metres of the peak when his team stopped to help a fellow mountaineer who was left for dead. later, Min Bahadur Sherchan, a University of Calgary alumni, returned to Everest to finish what he had started.

The Chinese were flying their airplanes over Chomolungma and had Chinese officials in Kathmandu. Now that Bahadur Sherchan has successfully scaled the tallest mountain in the world, he is once again ready to focus on his family. They basically coerced the Nepali government to not allow any climbers past camp two on the Nepali side. This year alpinist Anthony Loeff is reporting the scales for Mount Everest after reaching the summit of Mont Blanc earlier this season.

Sherchan just 5 days away from his 77th birthday beat the age record set last year by 71-year-old Japanese teacher Katsusuke Yanagisawa.

Further, he was all too aware of the potential dangers Mt Everest could bring. Certain parts of the climb are more dangerous than others and it is important for climbers to remain focused
