Old and New Delhi
by Adam James NallThe first few photographs taken in our final stop and base-camp in the Indian Capital. Drip feed upload so, as ever, check back soon for more pictures.
Photos currently in album taken on Shatabdi Express from Amritsar to New Delhi station (free bottled water, tea, soup, curries and icecream!), walking through the grubby, buzzing and totally peddle-tuc-tuc-grid-locked-heart of Old Delhi toward (and around) India's largest mosque: the Jama Masjid. Shots of Delhi from a minaret in the mosque, and an Old Delhi marching band! Photos of the metro leading to New Delhi; the government cente and India Gate, Humayun's Tomb south of the city, a few pictures from the central bazaar Pahar Ganj (including a very good jalabi stall - I ate them and survived - woo!) and the first few pics from the Qutb Minar - the victory column celebrating the arrival of Islam in India.
Enjoy and check back soon for more Delhi, Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal!

McLeod Ganj
by Adam James NallA selection of photographs (from so so many) taken during a six week teaching placement in McLeod Ganj, Himachal Pradesh, North India. The residence of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government in exile, McLeod has become a haven for Tibetan refugees, Buddhist pilgrims and the ever-present kitsch tourist 'Children of the World' who take to playing flutes out of cafe windows and not wearing any shoes. Regardless of that annoyance McLeod is wonderful. The smell of damp pine needles and incense drift across on the breeze with the thick mist - as pervasive, even, as the hippies during the monsoon season - lending to everything a surreal (and, annoyingly for photography, a harsh white glare and slightly blurred) edge. The distance, though rarely visible, occasionally broke through after a good air-clearing storm to reveal the fantastic views into the valley below and up to the Himalaya proper. A marvelous, magical monk-filled place. For anyone going there to shoot I suggest comprehensive camera insurance and the acceptance that nothing, in the second wettest place in India, in monsoon season, at that altitude, will ever, ever truly be what we the British consider 'dry'...
Album updated! More photos of Tsechokling Monestary, bird photos, and now features photos taken from our trek to Triund (9325ft), including a few shots from an impromtu cricket game we had with a few locals at about 5000ft. The crease was situated either side of a very steep slope, one of which we'd just spent the last two or so hours getting up. Needless to say I was glad to not be fielding...

Colour & Form - Costa Rica
by Claude SchneiderInspired by a series of photographs taken by a friend, this is the third set in my series of photos of eye-catching colours, shapes and textures. The intention is that the subject of each photo should not be instantly recognisable, but appreciated for the patterns and forms contained.
