In Summer 2004, we travelled from Manali, a hill-station south of the Himalaya range in India, and travelled to Leh, a military town on the north of the Himalaya. These are photographs taken by my wife with a Fuji S602z camera.
In fall 2005, We spent 18 days on a self-drive trip in Hokkaido, Japan. While missing the summer's lavenders, we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful (& quiet) Hokkaido's authum.
