Chandigarh Rock Garden Man



The Rock Garden in Chandigarh in the Punjab region of India was amazing. A man who was a former road cleaner would collect all bits of waste crockery, cement, plastic, everything and made this sort of rambling adventure sculpture park with animals, people, waterfalls... It was such an amazing place and Nell and I stayed there by chance on our way back from Shimla to Delhi. I wish I could have taken one of these chaps home!

Shimla in the mist



Shimla - home of international Nancycam. Nell and I travelled around India and tried to escape the wedding photographers but were accosted at Shimla by a TV crew who wanted to make us stars.

Getting back to the plot, Shimla was an amazing hill station heading towards the Himalayas. We stayed in an old lodge where Jewel in the Crown was filmed - with no heating!

Tibetan Prayer Wheels - Slow Mo


I have absolutely no idea why bits are blurry and bits aren't, but it makes a great image. It was a nasty day of rain, rain and more rain but it was Tibetan New Year so we headed to a bar and drank with Tibetan monks. Busy chatting on their mobile phones. Odd.

Narrow Gauge Trains, India



Actually, I think British Rail could learn a lot from this rail journey. Watching the sunrise while slowing chugging up the mountains in Northern India was incredible.
