The Tomás Terry Theatre in Cienfuegos, Cuba, a wonderfully eclectic styled classical building in honour of Venezuelan industrialist Tomás Terry. As a Brit with a history of the comedy of Terry Thomas I couldn't resist a visit to see what a "jolly good show" might be here

Tribal shaman and medicine man from a village near Kundiawa in the Papua New Guinea Highlands. Wearing a fabulous head-dress of shell and feathers. Well worth learning a bit of pidgin English (Tok Pisin) to make the most of a visit

A contemplative smoke. Whilst the anti-smoking campaigns have gained momentum, Smoking remains popular across the country - along with chewing betel-nut. Cheroots (cigars with the end trimmed off), from the Tamil word curuttu continue to be made by hand in many of the villag…
Inner courtyard of the Kalyan Mosque (completed c.1514), part of the Po-i-Kalyan Complex in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. A fascinating living museum city to explore on the Silk Road and key historic centre of trade, scholarship, culture, and religion.

Looking over Mer de Glace from Montenvers in the mountains behind Chamonix. Beautiful, fascinating and slightly tragic to see how far and fast the glacier has receded in the past 20 years (about 4-5 metres per year)
