Monks - Angkor Wat - Cambodia - If you get there early enough, it's just you and the monks.
  Sunrise - Angkor Wat, Cambodia - If you could hear this picture, it would sound like monks chanting in the distance.
 

Minaret - Varanassi, India - This holiest hindu city also offers something for the Muslims.

  Grave - Calcutta, India - I stumbled on to this beautiful grave behind an old overgrown church.

 
 
Elephant Saddle - Jodhpur, India - The Maharaja has turned his castle into a beautiful museum.
 
  Sadhu - Dharmsala, India - Of all the places in India, I found this most beautiful hindu outside the Dali Lama's temple.
 
 
Raj's Throne Room - Jodhpur, India - Same castle, different magnificent room.
 
  Bujung Gurung - Manang, Nepal - Such warmth, in-spite of the cold.
 
Prayer Flags I - Muktinah, Nepal - The colors stand in striking contrast against the snow-capped mountains.
 
  Prayer Flags II - Upper Pisang, Nepal - The Nepalis believe that as the flags unravel in the wind, the threads carry their prayers up to the gods.
 

Location, Location, Location - Gyaru, Nepal - The houses are nothing special, but you can't beat the view!

 

Porter - Khingar, Nepal - Those are 6X6 beams, and the wood is still green! They had to weigh 40 lbs each, and this guy probably doesn't weigh much more than a buck-o-five.

 
Top of the World - Thurong La Pass, Nepal - The view was breathtaking, but at 18,000 feet, simply standing up takes your breath away.

  Memorable Bridge - Passu, Pakistan - I saw cows cross this bridge!
 
 
Glacier - Rakposhi Base Camp, Pakistan - Those aren't rocks in the foreground, they're chunks of ice.

  Decorated Lorrie - Karakoram Highway, Pakistan - I don't know why truck drivers "pimp out" their lorries like this, but they all do.
 
Just Another Mountain - Ultar Meadow, Pakistan - This was a day hike over Karimabad. I recommend it highly.

  Full Moon Fever - Koh Pangan, Thailand - This guy has been raving all night. He's so hopped up on god-knows-what, that he's still goin' strong as the sun rises behind him.
