I took this shot many years ago one foggy morning I took this shot many years ago one foggy morning on the Dieng Plateau in Central Java. Back then there were only two rather simple hotels. Early mornings were always wonderfully misty and mysterious but the sun would shine before lunch. In the afternoons it rained heavily.

Another shot of the Tengger Highlands in East Java Another shot of the Tengger Highlands in East Java where villages cling to narrow ridges whilst vegetables, growing in the rich volcanic soils, tumble down the sides.
. 
One of Java's best known attractions, Mt Bromo, is nearby but most people just come to see the sunrise over the crater and leave again before breakfast. But it is a great place to chill out in the cool mountain air for a few days.

There is not too much at the western end of Lantau There is not too much at the western end of Lantau save for mountains, forests and monasteries. This one is dedicated to Kwun Yum, the goddess of mercy, or Guanyin as she is known outside of Hong Kong. The monastery itself dates back more than a hundred years though the impressive red buildings were added in 1992. From the terrace, which is the flat roof of the earlier buildings, there is a spectacular view across the surrounding mountains

Macaques have lived in Lop Buri since the late sev Macaques have lived in Lop Buri since the late seventeenth century, They first moved into the old Khmer Phra Karn Shrine probably after their original habitat was cleared for crops. People believed them to be disciples of the Hindu god Kala and so left them in peace.
.
Over the years their numbers have swelled and there are now three distinct groups. A second group colonised the temple ruins of Phra Prang Sam Yot and a third, more dystopian group occupies an old disused market place. Squabbles have always been common but they reached new heights early in the pandemic when tourists dried up and along with them the supply of cola, candies and potato chips.
.
The locals have always put out spare fruit and vegetables for them so it is unlikely any of them went hungry. Indeed the diet has probably improved their health no end.

The crab with the pretty green and black back is p The crab with the pretty green and black back is paraleptuca crassipes or the thick-legged fiddler crab, I’m not sure about the other one but they were both sharing a hole on some tidal mud-flats, though I think it was more to hide from me rather than for co-habitation. If one stands completely motionless for a few minutes they think you’ve gone and gingerly venture out. But the slightest click of the shutter and they dart back in again.

Ta Prohm, Angkor, Cambodia . While it is not so co Ta Prohm, Angkor, Cambodia
.
While it is not so comfortable Ta Prohm is at its atmospheric best during the rainy season. When the greens of the lichens and the browns of the banyan trees contrast with the wet grey stone walls.
.
Ta Prohm was founded in 1186 by King Jayavarman VII though construction would have continued well into the 13th century. It was abandoned in the 15th century and suffered centuries of neglect. When conservation efforts began it was decided that the temple, which blends quite beautifully with the surrounding jungle,  would be left largely as it was found. Much work has been done however to prevent the complex deteriorating further and to stabilise it so that it doesn't collapse on visitors.
.
Angkor and all its temples are a Unesco Word Heritage site. Parts of the Tomb Raider movie were filmed at Ta Prohm.

The Trấn Quốc Pagoda in Hanoi was originally b The Trấn Quốc Pagoda in Hanoi was originally built between 544-548 CE during the reign of Emperor Lý Nam Đế on the banks of the Yellow River. It was moved to Hồ Tây (West Lake) in 1615, due to erosion on the river bank, and underwent major renovations again in 1815.
.
The pagoda forms part of the Trấn Quốc Temple which holds the ashes of venerable monks.

Locomotive number 60 is the most recent addition t Locomotive number 60 is the most recent addition to the small but interesting Hong Kong Railway Museum in Tai Po. Built by General Motors and introduced in 1974, it was one of the last diesel locos to be added to the old Kowloon-Canton Railway network.
.
When the line was electrified in 1983 it was relegated to freight and maintenance services and finally retired in 2021. It took up residence at the Museum in 2023, after a paint and polish by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. It joins locomotive number 51, a rake of coaches and an old narrow gauge steam loco that worked the long-forgotten Fanling to Shau Tau Kok branch line.

Found this impressive butterfly waiting when I got Found this impressive butterfly waiting when I got home the other evening. It's a spangled swallowtail (papilio protenor) resting on the bougainvillea. The wing span is about twenty centimetres. They are actually quite common, I've just never seen one stay still long enough to take a picture of it before. I'm afraid I lack the patience of dedicated lepidoptera shooters.
