Boat Spotlight Photo: The sun sets on another perfect day on the islands off the west coast of Lombok. If you're not into the noise and hubbub of Gili Trawangan, there are a couple other islands nearby that each offer a different feel for different folks. I happen to arrive on the "party" island in the off-season so lucky for me, there weren't too many drunken shenanigans to endure.

Underground Lair Photo: Lady in red on the campus of Ewha Womans University (이화여자대학교). I believe something got lost in the translation or you can attribute it to the lack of plural words in the Korean language however, don't blame me. I didn't misspell "Womans." Now back to the image: I couldn't decide between the faux infrared or color post-processed image. I'm leaning towards the faux infrared. Et tu, Brute? Comment area below if you wanna help me with your opinion.
