It was certainly an interesting experience. Our friends were in the other red Tuk Tuk we were racing against.

No you are wrong, the Elephant is not on the left but was in the middle. It was an idol in a Temple Complex cum Museum in Colombo rather than a real Elephant. I think that this was taken at Gangaramaya (Vihara) Buddist Temple Museum in Central Colombo. We had not planned to go there, but ended up there after our friends and ourselves survived a hair-raising twin Tuk-Tuk dash through Colombo, with our drivers/friends vying to beat each other through the traffic.
A beautiful door knocker in the impressive old Spanish city of Cadiz.

This tunnel went through the city walls of Ibiza Old Town and shows just how thick the walls of the medieval fortifications were.
Excuse me do you serve Sangria to little dogs? The dog belongs to the charming German owner of the recently opened CuCha Restaurant Bar in Ibiza Old Town. The concept was a Currywurst and Champagne Bar. Hence the name CuCha. They did lots of nice beers and wines, all very cheap, as well as champagnes.
Our cruise ship docked in Cartagena on a Sunday and it was Mothers Day. So everyone was smartly dressed and there was lots of folk music and dancing in the various plazas/squares.
Our cruise ship docked in Cartagena, Spain, on a Sunday. Consequently people were dressed in their finery, going to Mass, lots of folk acts and bands were there and sitting sipping coffees or beers and watching the world go by was the order of the day. Brilliant.
We saw this lovely group of folk dancers and musicians in one of the main squares of Santa Cruz, in the island of Las Palmas, north west of Tenerife in the Islas Canarias. The photo could have been sharper because it was a new phone and I need to get new photo manipulation software to replace that lost on my dead laptop.
The Elevador is a nineteenth century cast iron lift cum fancy artwork that transports passengers up the steep hill from LIsbon's Baixa District to the Largo do Carmo and the ruins of the Carmo Church.
Up in the ramparts in the beautiful Ibiza Old Town. These days I mainly takes photos just with my Huawei mobile phone, instead of my DSLR camera, but I think some of them still turn out nice.
This smiling Buddha is added as a tribute to the peoples of Sri Lanka. We were in Colombo for one day on a cruise only this February and loved the friendly people we met. Our hearts go out to the peoples of all nationalities and all faiths who were butchered in yesterday's senseless bombings and in shootings elsewhere, by unfeeling brutes.

We spent two days in Mumbai on our recent cruise from Singapore to Abu Dhabi. Sunset over the docks was interesting.
Shop owners in the Coloba Shopping District, Mumbai, waiting for customers for their shoes. At least they weren't hassling us for our trade like owners of stalls on the pavement were.
Porters with baskets were to be found all over Crawford Fruit Market in Mumbai, India.
This was the Light Show at the Gardens by the Bay, Singapore, with the lit-up Marina Sands Hotel 'boat-in-the sky behind. The bluish trees in shot are termed Supertrees. There are a lot of them in the three gardens and as befits the garden theme they are actually ventilators and are not organic or living. The nightly Light Show brings thousands of visitors to the hotel and the Sky Gardens and they are lit-up in many colours which change whilst beautiful live music plays..
Phuket Island off South Western Thailand has lots of temples. This giant Bhudda is of course Bhuddist, but there are many Chinese and Hindu temples also
