Panorama of a beautiful hilltop village among the fields of Provence.

A stitched panoramic image seems to do a better job in relaying the breathtaking beauty of Gordes and its surroundings. The place is a "must visit" if you find yourself wandering around Provence (near Avignon).

Golgumbaz Photo: A mausoleum for a deceased Muslim ruler, Mohammed Adil Shah. His wives, mistress and other members of his family are also entombed within. The second photo shows the textured floor of the Golgumbaz lighted by one of the few windows in the massive interior of the building.

Fallen Laureate Photo: This photo is a bit dated but still worth posting. On August 18, Kim Dae Jung (김대중), a former Korean president and 2000 Nobel Peace Prize winner passed away. Memorials were held in quite a few places around Seoul but the one at city hall dwarfed all others in comparison. Waiting times were often as long as three hours as each group of well-wishers got a chance to pay their respects, a minute per group.

Seoul, South Korea

Yeah, apparently, even French people aren't so familiar with this place. Definitely a must-see!

Semi-rehabilitated orangutans arrive from the nearby forest to shamelessly gorge on a banana lunch. Once the food coma kicks in, they lounge around and allow tourists to fill up their memory cards with their photogenic faces.
