Kinari Bazaar

At the butcher's.
Agra is one of the most visited cities in India with foreign and local tourists. Its glorious Taj Mahal is a must see for every tourist visiting this diverse country. Most of the people visit just Taj and Red fort, maybe Fatehpur Sikri on the way to Rajasthan. But there is a lot more to see in this touristy city. Read more »

Bear’s head

A bear's head
This time just one photo. It was taken this spring near Tolmin in Soca river valley. It was quite difficult to get this shot - it was raining and it was windy. Well it was worth to get all wet for a shot like this !

Himba - the beautiful people.

What could be more beautiful than this?
I’ve returned from two week tour to Namibia. It was a great trip, Namibia is definitely one of the top countries I’ve visited until now. Its wildlife, countryside, its people! I visited also the Himba village near Opuwo. I spent about two hours with them and i can only wish it would be longer. At least a day or two.

A voyage down the river Styx

In Greek mythology, the “River Styx” is a river which formed the boundary between Earth and the Underworld, Hades. Last week my father and I visited the Krizna cave (Križna jama) in Notranjska region, Slovenia. A very interesting guy invited us to accompany him on his routine trip to the cave. Mr. Alojz Troha is regularly taking samples of the underground waters which are sent to the institute for further research. He is an experienced caver, a photographer with extensive knowledge about geology, history and biology. Although he was quite busy with taking the samples, he was an excellent guide and his tips on photography were helpful indeed.

Our trip to the underworld was an adventure I didn’t expect. We were using professional caving equipment; high waterproof boots, caving suits, battery lights and inflatable boats. The cave has a pleasant climate, the temperature is slightly above zero and the air is fresh. But being four hours in the cave wading in cold river can be chilly and we were wearing two pairs of skiing sock, skiing underwear and two! fleece sweaters under the caving suits.
A waterproof backpack is a necessity, but even that did not prevent me from dropping my flash unit into the river. Luckily it was turned off and the water was shallow.

Early morning at St. Ana hill

Usually I don’t like to get up early in the morning. But in photography early birds get the best shots. Sometimes even I manage to get my butt out of the warm bed take the camera and go shooting. It was a cold December morning and this time also Crt (you can check his photos here)joined me. We decided to climb the St. Ana hill, which overlooks the Ljubljana marshlands. The sunrise was beautiful and we managed to get a few excellent shots. Yes, a day like this can be really rewarding and we soon forgot, that we got up almost in the middle of the night… Enjoy the photos!

You’ve got cash!

Today is a very special day:)! I just recieved an email from Moneybookers.com! And the first words I read were You’ve got cash! Man, that was really fast! I didn’t expect it that soon, I only requested a payment from Istock.com yesterday. These are my first 100$ and of course I wanted to try how the actual payment work. It is quite easy; First I needed to open an account at Moneybookers, which is simple and it takes only 5 minutes. Then I requested payment from Istock, where I just entered my email, that I use for MB and that was it!. The only downside is that a Dollar is loosing its value compared to Euro, a 100$ is only 71,6€.

Here is the photo that earned me the hundreth Buck:
