Trishaw in Melaka

A surprise in Melaka is the decoration of the trishaws. This one being relatively modest as compared to some others.

Girl in local costume - Melaka

This girl was posing for tourists in front of the fountain by the Stadhuys. With a big smile, I stole this quick shot!

Getting up before the sun to catch this image without the crowd and traffic.

Melaka River at Sunset

An abrupt change of scenery from the cold and snowy Swiss Alps to the sub-tropical city of Melaka in Malaysia.

Geese in a partly frozen pond

These geese just came back from a swim in a half frozen pond. They were in turn flapping their wings to dry their feathers.

A miniature of the summit station of the Gornergrat train

Actually, this is just a trick to the eyes. By keeping a very narrow depth of field (forefront and background blurred), one can provide a landscape with this "miniature" feel. I thought it would turn an otherwise banal image into something more interesting!

The Gornergrat Chapel

A simple design, almost austere yet warm due to the use of wood for the benches and the ceiling boards.

Gornergrat Chapel

The roof of the chapel that is located clos to the summit of the Gornegrat, the mountain that surplombs the village of Zermatt.

The Matterhorn from the Gornergrat

The Matterhorn viewed from the Gornergrat. Every time I see this mountain, I think about chocolate. A Pavlov's dogs type of conditioning... Merci Toblerone! This image was post processed with a texture.

Swiss Alps

Snowy landscape.

Snowy landscape

The sun is just piercing through the clouds warming up the snow covered glade.

Morning after a snowy night

This wooden house, now abandoned, must have been used to store hay for domestic animals.
