Caught on Camera

That's the Spirit! Brave antelope tries to kick off hungry young lioness that's bent on making a meal out of him...sadly, he's still converted to packed lunch.

Forget fighter jets & attack helicopters. Iraqi, Hatim Salman, is building his own helicopter which he has called 'Diyala 1'

Heaven at last! African migrants are spotted & picked up by coast guards off the Spanish coast of Gibraltar

One World, Different Realities

Her liver-spotted hands clinched the burgundy passport as she walked down the aisle, looking for her seat. Her attachment to the booklet issued by her ‘Britannic Majesty’ said a lot about her identity.

Lazy People Opt for University Degrees

Something is eating me up. Or to put it more correctly, a thought has been spinning in my head. Was on facebook and I read something on a friend’s wall.

Finally...the long-awaited photos

A miracle occurred this morning: my moribund mobile suddenly sprang to life momentarily. So, I was able to copy all my contacts (very quickly) and also copy some of the photos I took in Paris - hurray!

I hope you enjoy viewing them. The only catch is, I haven't included captions. I'd like you to guess where each photo was taken. There are lots in hints in my travel diaries. Enjoy!
