Everest Base Camp Trek: Part 3

I added a selection of recent photos to flickr. You can see them in the photos page or in the photo albums page. I still advise that you try Pic Lens… I am having a ton of fun playing around with it. These photos are from Ha Long Bay and Hanoi, Vietnam. Cat Ba Island… Read the rest »
