The village square came alive this weekend. Kids screamed and cheered as their favourite knight fought, backdropped by modern banks and the post office. Having carted in sand and straw, the square in Utrecht, the Netherlands, was transformed into a modern day jousting lane. The action was cheered on by adult and child alike as the knights fought for the maidens hand. More here

Prince Edward Island Panorama
Finally. It has taken a few months to finally buckle down and work on these images, but I think the result is worth it. I invite you to look at some panoramic images of Prince Edward Island and the world. They include some lighthouse panoramas and other scenes from that beautiful island on the east coast of Canada. Enjoy
Carnaval de Binche
Every year at Mardi Gras, the small town of Binche in Belgium comes alive with festivities. The highlight of the yearly carnaval is the procession down the main street when the Gilles and their companions throw oranges at the crowd. I was lucky enough to be in Belgium to photograph this event. Check out the great images of the Carnaval de Binche.

French Riviera
Many things have happened since I left Bali and somehow I find myself in the French Riviera. I met up with David Prajoux, a good friend of mine in Paris. After sampling the 10 euro coffees looking onto the Eiffel Tower, and figuring that we could probably find cheaper coffee somewhere else, we headed south. I am currently in Cannes, home of the world renowned film festival. It is of course a little bit quieter here right now, thankfully.
Yesterday we had the pleasure of visiting Monaco and Monte Carlo. The richese there was simply too much to handle after leaving Bali. Two completely different worlds, the wealth present in the western world is quite ridiculous.
Heading west and north……
Paris Bound
Well, this is it. One last lemon ginger soda and I am headed to Paris. What a time, 6 weeks has flown by and I can’t begin to recount all the experience. Some highlights. The terrifying ride on a motorbike through the jungle of Bali. Cooking and sampling the fire of the spice island cuisine, Lombok. Working on pictures in Kuta, Lombok at the wonderful Ashanti cafe overlooking an incredible vista. And most importantly, I can not forget the life changing experience of the UN conference. You can expect to see me turn my lens on the climate change issue throughout this year. Exciting things are happening back home and around the world and I look forward to being a part of it all.
There are over 7000 images to go through from Indonesia, surely a serious and wonderfully anticipated adventure into the hard drive(s).
I leave you with another portrait…
