One evening past new years in 2017, I decided to go for a walk in New Delhi. I must have spent at least a good couple hours on foot to make it to the India Gate from where my hostel was located, north of Connaught Place. When I arrived, there was a crowd of people with their families all standing around as if waiting for something. I have no idea what for, but I tried to soak up the atmosphere as much as I could, and obviously photograph the amazing war memorial.

Back in December of 2013, I found myself in Kyoto, and one stop I had to see was the famous Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji or officially, Rokuon-ji). Its a popular Zen Buddhist temple which is visited by many all year round. I can say with certainty that it did not disappoint.

Back in early March, I had spent the morning with Icelandic ponies and the afternoon wandering around Seljalandfoss and Gljúfrabúi waterfalls. Both are beautiful and situated close by each other. This photo was taken just when the moon was rising and peaking through at the top.

Passing through City Hall, I decided to sit on the grass verge by the river Thames and capture the atmosphere here. It is usually a crowded place and this day was no different. People come here to chill out, enjoy the view or have a drink at the nearby pop up bar.

I was passing through Somerset House one delightful day in June and I decided to grab a couple shots of people sitting leisurely in the courtyard. I love this place so any excuse to come here and capture photos, I’ll take it!

On my commute to work at the time, during a cold morning in late January 2017, I was walking my usual route through Gloucester Road to High Street Kensington. I saw this parked, classic mustang GT350 and I knew I needed to capture it. It was in great shape and looked well looked after.

Little did I know that all of Kensington was covered in this incredible fog. It created a really eerie atmosphere that I just had to capture.

I boarded the boat tour of Lake Pichola and the tour takes you around the City Palace and the Taj Lake Palace. It was a beautifully  clear day.
