Oh no, darn it, I’d rather you take the shoes (I could never walk in those, on top of everything else!) and leave me the ham. 😇

In Mongolia, you'll find everywhere

... large tents for family trekking adventures... ... funny long-haired cows... ... comfortable saddles for long horseback rides... ... friendly boys, but don't tease them too much... ... and after a lot of patience, wild horses that can't be approached



Also... to be continued... 5 photos per post required

5 photos per country or region!

Looks like you’ve used up all your shots for Mongolia...

(Very flattering, that blue speedo)

For those who love summer heat and beautiful blue skies (😎), I’m taking you to Ireland... a country in grey and green

A little boat ride... ...to reach an island offshore

Pretty coves for a dip or sunbathing

Beautiful waterfalls to cool off ...and a little Guinness to dream of lovely landscapes

(Those tiny blue briefs look great)

... whose contents seem to be grafted onto his head. 🤪

Marrakech's medina from the angle of the palm trees....

1/ A magical cohabitation of rooftops and minarets in the medina, these palm trees, and the snow-capped Atlas Mountains in the background...



2/ Palm trees and the dome of the Kouba, the oldest monument in Marrakech (11th century)



3/ Stork's nest, symbol of the medina's ramparts



4/ Yep, palm trees are protected in Marrakech, even if they're in the middle of the road!



5/ A derb, a passageway, and a palm frond always present...

Thanks to all of you for participating. 😉

I’ve added a bottle of Guinness and a palm tree to the suitcase.

It won’t close anymore! !🤪

What a fantastic topic idea!! Here’s my first contribution.

Indonesia is so many things, but among them, it’s:

1. Temples and volcanoes...



2. Rice terraces...



3. Ceremonies...



4. Incredible smiles...



5. Touching encounters, beautiful people and villages...

1. Temples and volcanoes...

I can already picture it...😇

... this smells like pre-post processing... What software did you use to erase the Kalashnikovs?

No, no, don’t shoot—I’m kidding!!!

I love your series and, in general, photos that aren’t the "postcard" clichés we all inevitably bring back from our trips. I’m guilty of it too, but what I especially love—both in my own work and others’—are portraits, scenes of daily life, a different offbeat perspective, an unusual framing or point of view.

See ya!

Next up!

Senegal is:

1. Moments of quiet connection...



2. Exchanges of knowledge and solidarity...



3. Vibrant markets...



4. Sacred songs...



5. Moments of conviviality over ataya (Senegalese tea)...

Gorgeous photos! (Plus, I discovered a lovely site about Asia and revisited some beautiful travel journals that resurfaced... 😉) Thanks for this lovely post.

Attila, you were waiting for photos of Morocco—here are some more... (Kate’s still keeping us waiting!)

So, Morocco is a palette of magnificent colors I won’t have space to list here...

Here are two symbolic ones:

(1 - The red of its flag)

(2 - The green of the minarets. Meknès)



It’s also palm trees and fruits we’re not used to seeing like this...

(3 - Dates...)



(4 - Of course... the tea of hospitality)



(5 - And also... camels that seem to be laughing)

... along with wonderful memories! 🙂 (Darn, already over!)

Totally agree with you about Burma, but LAOS is really nice too:

In Luang Prabang: A Guevara-style nationalist tuk-tuk waiting for its passengers!



In Muong Ngoy: Along the Nam Ou River; sunrise.



Muang Khua: The monks' alms-giving



Firewood duty in the northern mountains by young women.
