Hershy > Giza Pyramids. One of the wonders of the world. 
Cairo, Egypt.

We had arrived late evening the day before and this was my first sight of the magnificent structure from our hotel Mena House, Oberoi.

Hershy > Sunrise 
Taj Rebak Island Resort, Langkawi, Malaysia.

I saw this awesome scene from our room window - it was warm and HUMID outside (must be over 75). I rushed to the verandah only to find the cameras get wet and lenses fogged up. Took a couple of shots on Nikon and went out towards the beach. Tried several shots and this is from 35mm film, scanned and then PP - contrast & light.  

The other picture from Nikon can be seen at:

Hershy > Lakshman Jhula (Bridge) - Rishikesh

Himalayas, Ganges, Pilgrimage, Spa, Rafting, Ayurvedic Treatment, Yoga, Meditation, Nature, Camping.... if there is one word for all these, it's "Rishikesh"!

About Rishikesh
Rishikesh - known as the "City of the Divine"- is a spiritual center to which sages, rishis, saints and pilgrims have flocked for millennia. The roads of the city are lined with bustling market places of ethnic arts and handicrafts, fresh produce markets, holy shrines and orange -robed sadhus (priests). Then, the road narrows, the markets become more sparse and you come upon a foot bridge, suspended high over the sacred Ganga (Ganges) river. As you cross this bridge, the sun streaming through the Himalayas to warm your being, you will feel as if you have truly come home. It is no surprise that pilgrims are drawn here from all over the world. The awe-inspiring beauty of the place, the clear, flowing Ganga, the majestic mountains, and the lush green forests will embrace and rejuvenate your entire being.
