<p>This week I bring you a shot hot off the presses &#8211; from my <a title="Amsterdam photography" href="http://sherryott.smugmug.com/Europe/Netherlands/13114516_74Vfi#950910142_zH8x3" target="_blank">current trip in Amsterdam</a>.  I felt like this picture captured quintessential Holland quite well; windmills, beautiful clouds, bicycles, and marshland.  I took this shot while on a rest break from my own bicycle ride in the countryside near Amsterdam.  A gorgeous day to ride into the the breezy, green flatlands.</p>

<p>Doing something a little different this week and instead of one photo, I&#8217;m bringing you a photo walk I did while staying in Boston this summer.    I walked around the historic neighborhood of Beacon Hill where cobblestone streets and gas lamps take you back in time.  Then I took a wander through the famous Boston Common; a historical gathering spot for all of Boston.  The park was bursting with color and some new life this summer!  Enjoy!</p>

In the Spotlight &#8211; Egypt
I&#8217;m embarrassed to say that I don&#8217;t even know where this was shot.  Sure, I know I was in Egypt in yet another temple, but I had my overdose of temples much earlier in my stay, so I stopped really keeping track.  As I wandered around yet another temple I turned [...]]]></description>

<p>I&#8217;m embarrassed to say that I don&#8217;t even know where this was shot.  Sure, I know I was in Egypt in yet another temple, but I had my <a title="Ottsworld - the Project Plan" href="http://www.ottsworld.com/blogs/the-mother-of-all-project-plans-ancient-egypt/" target="_self">overdose of temples</a> much earlier in my stay, so I stopped really keeping track.  As I wandered around yet another temple I turned around to look for my friend and that&#8217;s when I saw this perfectly lit shot.</p>
<p>The ancient Egyptian Gods provided a single ray of light to shine on this lucky man.  A natural wonder.</p>

<p>I don&#8217;t know how it happened, but I&#8217;ve been transformed into a football fan.  Yes, that&#8217;s right, I said football, not soccer; just to prove how authentic the transformation is.   With the World Cup championship coming up this weekend, I felt like I better give this new love of mine visibility on my Photo of the Week.  One of the constants as I travel and live around the world was the presence of the beloved game of football.  From Thailand to Turkey to Italy to Kenya &#8211; it is the world&#8217;s sport.</p>
<p>I snapped this shot in a park in Rome.  Teenage boys were walking on one of the many paths and this one decided to show off some skills.  Who knows &#8211; maybe he&#8217;ll play in the World Cup one day&#8230;</p>

<p>Unsettled Seas &#8211; Langkawi, Malaysia</p>
<p>I did something a bit different this week, I asked you what you wanted to see for Photo of the Week.  Actually, I asked my Twitter followers what they wanted to see this week!  They had the choice of Kids, Action, Landscape, or Gory Photo topics; Landscapes overwhelmingly won out! Never mind the fact that I chose a beachscape as opposed to a landscape shot&#8230;</p>
<p>Experience sunny Langkawi, Malaysia.  Tourists flock to the stunning beach in northern Mayalsia; however even in paradise there are storms.  You can&#8217;t escape Mother Nature!  This storm quickly rolled in as I was taking a beach walk.  The waters were full of energy and the sky grew dark; needless to say &#8211; it rained pretty hard moments after this shot.</p>

<p>The <a title="Lonely Planet Milford Track" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/new-zealand/fiordland-and-southland/milford-track" target="_blank">Milford Track</a> (Kiwi speak for hike) is called the most beautiful hike in the world.  It received this accreditation when an English journalist walked it and wrote about her journey titling it “Milford Track, Possibly the Most Beautiful Walk in the World”. Her editor looked at it and crossed out the word “Possibly”. After that Frommers, Lonely Planet, Rough Guides as well as many marketing brochures has used the quote to describe it.</p>
<p><a title="Ottsworld:  Milford Track" href="http://www.ottsworld.com/blogs/milford-sound-land-of-waterfalls-snowfalls-treefalls-and-television/" target="_self">I hiked this 3 day 32 mile trek </a>in November of 2006; certainly one of the most beautiful walks in the world!  Waterfalls and colorful landscapes surrounded us making one feel that they had been transported to another world.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Tough Stain &#8211; Fes Morocco</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">This isn&#8217;t what you think.  This man is holding silk thread and is in the process of dying it a bright red color.  I took this photo while I toured around the most miraculous medina in Morocco.  Here&#8217;s my excerpt of my fist impressions:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">The moment you entered the big arched gateway you inhaled the smell, taste and sound of the markets. We were surrounded by the sounds of people and music, we could smell the rich spices intermixed with the smell of olives, and your eyes were entranced by the rich colors and textures that surrounded you. I think I honestly walked for the first 20 minutes with a dumb stare on my face as I took it all in.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">I loved Fes&#8230;a truly cultural experience &#8211; and a treasure trove of photography.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Apocalypse Now on 34th St &#8211; New York City</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Two times a year the Sun God works it&#8217;s magic on Manhattan in a spectacle called Manhattanhenge.  The rare occurance when the sun sets in exact alignment with the grid of streets in Manhattan.  This 15 minutes of illumination on the cross streets of New York City provides an Apocalypse Now feeling with people shading there eyes, armed with their camera standing in the middle of 34th street trying to get the perfect photo.  Last weekend, I was one of them trying to get the perfect sunset picture of the Empire State Building.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If you missed it, you&#8217;re in luck; the next Manhattenhenge is July 12th.  Get that camera ready and grab some sunglasses!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">You can read more on the spectacle of <a title="Manhattanhenge sunset" href="http://www.haydenplanetarium.org/resources/starstruck/manhattanhenge/" target="_blank">Manhattanhenge on Hayden Planetarium&#8217;s website</a>.</p>

The canyon got so narrow at one point that we had to crawl through a small opening blocked by a boulder.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Going to villages that are off the tourist trail in Nepal are the most rewarding to me.  So when the principle of the school I was volunteer teaching at invited me on a 4 hour hike (actually it took 7 hrs) to his village of Barbot for the weekend &#8211; I said yes!  Barbot was perched high on a mountain and full of amazing scenery and people to photograph.  What made it better was my personal &#8216;guide&#8217; and friend who took me around the village and surrounding areas providing me access to great photography opportunities.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This young mother and son had just left the local market when I was able to capture them.  I think the young boy was as curious about me as I was about him!</p>

Modern Nepal
Kathmandu is a town full of old buildings and history.  The whole place feels dusty, like my grandmother&#8217;s attic.  However as I was out shooting one day I came across this young boy and felt transported to modern times.  He was more than willing to pose for my photo.  The phrase &#8220;One of these [...]]]></description>

<p style="text-align: left;">Kathmandu is a town full of old buildings and history.  The whole place feels dusty, like my grandmother&#8217;s attic.  However as I was out shooting one day I came across this young boy and felt transported to modern times.  He was more than willing to pose for my photo.  The phrase &#8220;One of these things is not like the other&#8221; kept running through my head.  He seemed so out of place.  I wondered if I was in Queens or Nepal?  It left me wondering if this was the direction of Nepal to come?  With a sigh and a heavy heart, I continued on in the dust filled streets exploring the old buildings; sometimes modern is not always better.</p>

<p>Monumental Road &#8211; Utah, USA</p>
<p>Spring is in the air in the US.  It&#8217;s time to start thinking about summer road trips!  The National Parks in the Utah/Arizona area are abundant; however I like to find some of the ones off the beaten path and Monument Valley in Utah is one of those.  This Navajo Indian Park was my favorite in my road trip across America.  Massive rock formations that seem to come out of nowhere.</p>
<p>It is located on the southern border of Utah with northern Arizona, near the <a title="Four Corners" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Corners">Four Corners</a> area. The valley lies within the range of the Navajo Nation Reservation, and is accessible from <a title="U.S. Highway 163" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Highway_163">U.S. Highway 163</a>.</p>
<p>Monument Valley is part of the Grand Circle, which includes popular National Parks such as the Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde, Bryce Canyon, Zion Canyon, Capitol Reef, Natural Bridges Monument, Hovenweep, and Arches National Park.  I saw most of these on my <a title="Ottsworld: Road Trip USA" href="http://www.ottsworld.com/blogs/tag/road-trip-usa/" target="_self">US Road Trip in 2008</a> and they are all worth a stop!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Piggy Back &#8211; Lamjung District Nepal</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I spent a few weeks volunteering in the remote mountain village of Puma in 2008; an experience that was truly eye opening.    While teaching English in the small village of 40 homes I came to know many of the kids well.  This boy wasn&#8217;t old enough for school yet, but he and his grandmother were always hanging around school in hopes of having their picture taken.  This day I obliged them.  Communities like this all around the world don&#8217;t have the means to have personal pictures of themselves.   I don&#8217;t know that the kids learned much English from me, but I was able to send the people of the village all of the photos I took thereby providing them some recorded memories that would last a lifetime.  Giving back comes in many different forms.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">There&#8217;s a variety of cultural shows to attend every night in Ubud.  This photo is from the Kecak Fire and Trance Dance. It consisted of about 50 men all chanting this tune with no accompaniment while the story of the dancers played out in front of us. At the end they lit a big pile of coconut husks on fire and let them burn high like a bon fire.  A man is put in a trance by the 50 men choir of chanting. He then can walk through burning coals.  He didn&#8217;t just walk through once, but at least 10 times.  A colorful, and HOT show.</p>

Bucket Bath
Delhi, India
While volunteering in India, I often walked around the slum neighborhoods to see the family culture.  Family homes don&#8217;t have bathrooms, and baths are taken outside in front of the house with buckets.  It didn&#8217;t seem to phase the kids, as this was a great way to cool down on a hot Delhi [...]]]></description>

<p style="text-align: left;">Delhi, India</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">While volunteering in India, I often walked around the slum neighborhoods to see the family culture.  Family homes don&#8217;t have bathrooms, and baths are taken outside in front of the house with buckets.  It didn&#8217;t seem to phase the kids, as this was a great way to cool down on a hot Delhi afternoon!  True to form, the kids were always smiling when I put my camera up to my eye; even a bath didn&#8217;t stop them from smiling!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">In honor of the upcoming St. Patrick&#8217;s Day &#8211; I thought I&#8217;d go GREEN with Photo of the Week.  These are the luscious Rice Terraces of Banaue Philippines (<a title="UNESCO World Heritage List" href="UNESCO World Heritage Site " target="_blank">UNESCO World Heritage Site</a>).  People think the Philippines is only about beaches &#8211; well think again.  This northern part of the Philippines is home to some of the oldest and most stunning rice terrace culture in SE Asia.  Actually, these terraces are my favorite terraces in Asia!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">You can also trek from village to village along the terraces learning about the village culture along the way and staying in &#8216;home-stays&#8217; &#8211; a fabulous 3 day hike you&#8217;ll never forget!</p>

<p>I chose this photo this week in order to bring more visibility to the current state of emergency in Mongolia.  There are a lot of weather disasters happening around the globe right now, and Mongolia is no exception.  The extreme cold weather has been the cause of death to 1.7 million heads of livestock.  <a title="Modern Nomads" href="http://www.ottsworld.com/blogs/modern-nomads/" target="_self">Herding in Mongolia</a> is the main way of life.  In a country where life is already difficult, this blow is crippling.  Livestock is the main source of food and business for most of the 2.6 million Mongolians.</p>
<p>Some herders have lost more 50% of their livestock.  This saddens me greatly because I stayed with herder families in the Gobi Desert, learning their way of life was a highlight to me.  My interaction with these families made my trip to Mongolia a moving experience for me.</p>
<p>Hopefully as the summer months arrive, the Gobi will be a scene like this photo once again.  Teeming with life and color, and never-ending landscape.</p>

Thaipusam Festival Singapore

<p style="text-align: left;">Thaipusam Festival Singapore</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Tamil Hindu festival of Thaipusam is only celebrated in 5 places in the world.  I was lucky enough to experience it in Singapore in 2007.  With my camera I was able to capture a close up view of the body piercings which are meant to show a family&#8217;s devotion to the god Murukan, the personification of wisdom.  In this photo, the man was pulling a heavy &#8216;offering&#8217; for 5km via these back piercings.  Participants carry offerings for the Gods as an act of penance.  However, to me it appeared as one of the most painful processes I&#8217;ve ever seen!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The unique and painful festival is celebrated this weekend on Jan. 30th in Singapore, Batu Caves, Penang, Jahor Baru, and Ipoh. (the last 4 locations are in Malaysia) If you are anywhere near these locations, I implore you to go check it out; it&#8217;s a day you&#8217;ll never forget!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To learn more about the Thaipusam, you can read my original post on my <a title="Thaipusam Festival" href="http://www.ottsworld.com/blogs/piercing-palooza-thaipusam/" target="_self">Thaipusam experience</a>.</p>

<p>Rio De Janeiro, Brazil:  Sugar Loaf Mountain 2006</p>
<p>Before I started long term traveling around the world, I used to be like 80% of you out there &#8211; a working stiff.  I saved away for my week of vacation and tried to get as far away as I could from my job.  Back in 2006 this took me to Rio De Janeiro for a sailing trip with Gap Adventures.  I was just starting to get serious about photography at the time and I was planning my eventual career break and around the world travels.  This shot was from a cable car queue/boarding line on Sugar Loaf Mountain; one of the most popular tourist attractions in Rio.  Sugar Loaf is an icon in Rio, defining the well known Rio landscape.  I always loved to play with reflections in photography, as well as circles; in this shot I was able to incorporate both!</p>

<p>I chose some pictures this week from my recent t<a title="Visting the village of Puma Nepal" href="http://www.ottsworld.com/blogs/travel-back-in-time/" target="_self">rip back to Puma Nepal</a>.  One of my favorites is of this woman and young boy because I took a similar picture of them exactly one year earlier.  There are some subtle differences, but what I found astonishing is that these two seemed attached at the hip; they were always together when I was there last year.  This year I was only there for one short day, but this woman sought me out to take a picture with the boy in tow.</p>

<p>Hire Wires</p>
<p>Every person who comes to Vietnam is either mesmerized or scared to death.  First they notice the traffic and motorbike culture; appearing as chaos.  However the second thing they notice is the mangled electrical wiring above their head; which leads to the question &#8211; how do they fix a wiring problem if something goes wrong?! </p>
<p>The electrical poles often look like a birds nest, thrown together with no real rhyme or reason.  As you stare at it you can&#8217;t help but wonder how they could ever work on this dizzying maze of wires with any success.  Then again, while living in Vietnam we would have power outages about twice a week which says quite a bit about the actual infrastrucutre in Vietnam; I guess that&#8217;s why they call it a &#8216;developing country&#8217;.</p>
<p>For those of you who haven&#8217;t yet been to Vietnam (what are you waiting for?!), here are a few photos of what you can expect when you look upwards.</p>

<p>Chefchaouen, Morocco (the Blue Town in the Mountains) &#8211; this town is magical and it&#8217;s bathed in blue!  A must see if you travel through Morocco!</p>

<p>I love this mixture of personalities, ages, and genders!  They were all working in the same market and all selling meat.  For those of you who are grossed out by the fact that the meat is sitting out in the open all day &#8211; don&#8217;t be.  That meat is usually sold out everyday as the locals buy their meat needs daily &#8211; so it&#8217;s always fresh unlike out Western grocery store chains!  So &#8211; before you judge, consider that this way to sell meat may be even better!</p>

Love this family shot &#8211; so typically Vietnamese it makes me smile!

You can check out my other Vietnamese transportation photos here &#8211; I&#8217;m always adding to this gallery!
