Wanted to shoot some big birds today. A few days ago i saw at last 50 of em over a small pond with lots of fish. Eagel and what not, all slow sailing in the air and of course low as they went for the fish. And today? Not a single one of them –…
Well i am used to the camels in Australia or Egypt but this one is a big monster camel – or i do not remember how big they are. At least 3 meter to the head when the camel looks straight! Well this is new – but why not? Hmmm lets see what to get…
Finally i had a few minutes to prepare a few pictures from Bodh Gaya. After Lumbini – and the detour to Varanasi – i was logical to visit Bodh Gaya. A Disney-world for the believer. With the temple and sapling of the original tree under which Buddha found enlightenment.
The other night a few guys put a kind of circus show together on the beach. Tailored for kids it was still fun to watch. And of course the good old fire show at the end of it was best. Here are a few pix for you. Performers Without Borders working towards giving disadvantaged children…

High Camp – 4800+ meters. Stars stars stars – but it was cold! I woke up and wanted to drink some water – it was frozen solid in the room. Quick to the restaurant and some hot tea. Than we did wait till there was sun at the trail. 9 am – sun is here…
Landscape changes a lot at the treck – this one is quite interesting. On the left you can see the 2 Frenchies – gives you and idea about proportions. Mr. Yak in autumn colours – quite trendy for up here! Still a bit of moon to see. Some houses had still locks on the doors….

What better day to visit Buddha’s birthplace in Lumbini as the birthday of Jesus Christ? I think that does fit well. After a 10-hour trip in a taxi, a bus with a bus driver from hell, another bus, rickshaws, and finally a very small bus I did get to Lumbini at 6 in the evening….
