Umbrellas on Anning

Anning Street Umbrellas, Kaohsiung, Taiwan One of the cool things about visiting cities that you know nothing about is discovering little areas that are not necessarily on the tourist route. Anning St is a shopping street which was just a block away from our hotel in Kaohsiung, and was full of these colourful umbrellas. I have finally finished writing the blogs from our 4 week trip to Korea and Taiwan in April (!) , so if you want to see what we got up to have a look here: www.ankhphotography.net/koreataiwan2023 Fujifilm XE-5, ISO125, 1/640sec, f8, 9mm Laowa lens Processed in Lightroom and Photoshop

Dreams of Places Gone

Te Ana Falls, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand I don't know if anyone has been able to access this spot since the Cyclone in February that destroyed the access track, but I am sure it wouldn't look like this anymore.

Down in the Daan

Daan Park Station, Taipei, Taiwan I took this shot on our first full day in Taipei at the MRT station directly across from our hotel.

"Old meets New"

Sungnyemun Gate, Seoul, South Korea After landing in Seoul after a 12 hour flight, and having a night a hotel near the airport, we made our way into Seoul proper. After dropping off our bags at our hotel for the next 5 nights we went for a walk around ( or up and down as the case may be ) and found ourselves at Sungnyemun Gate just as the guards were walking through. This gate forms part of the old city wall, and now sits in the middle of town. Fujifilm X-T5, ISO125, 1/32000, f3.6 Processed in Lightroom and Photoshop

Light of better days

Atea a Rangi, Waitangi Regional Park, Hawke's Bay This shot was taken "pre Gabrielle" at one of my favourite places to watch the sun rise.
