    A School Along High Atlas Mountain
    field_caption
    In the deepest valley along the High Atlas Mountain lies a school made of brick and mud. Children played football on a make shift dry land cum field located next to the school during the winter season. Despite its lack of amenities and poor condition, children were still happily playing football with friends.

    Photographing the Hawaiian seascapes, I was a keen observer of tourists' ways and longings to interact with the nature. The view that I selected attempts to heighten the intensity of the relationship between humans and forces of nature by juxtaposing it onto a leisurely atmosphere.

    Resting Cliffside in the Semian Mountains - Ethiopia
    field_caption
    Travel in Northern Ethiopia is usually focused on the historic churches and colorful culture of the region. It's worth the trip just to marvel at the history and beauty of the place, but the misty Semian Mountains National Park was especially spectacular. Here we rested with our driver and a few local villagers at 11,000 feet altitude on the edge of a sheer drop of over 3,000 feet.

    Skyscraper Reflects Skyscraper

    2011, HONG KONG: The 72-storey glass facade of the Bank Of China Tower (4th tallest skyscraper in HK at 307m, 367m with masts and antenna spire) reflects Cheung Kong Center (standing at 283m). Taken using a Nikkor 24mm f2.8 AIS lens in manual exposure mode mounted on a Fujifilm FinePix S2Pro. In the bustling of the world's most vertical city, there was a certain sense of calm at night looking at the glass, steel and light playing nature in this man-made jungle.
