Petronas Towers & Fountain Photo: Long exposure photo of an unforgettable landmark in the capitol of Malaysia. The towers incorporate much Muslim symbolism and provide many floors of office space. Meanwhile, at the base is the Suria KLCC, a mega-mall that serves as an air conditioned escaped from the muggy Kuala Lumpur climate. The entire complex is surrounded by a pleasant park, perfect for an evening stroll.

photo: Rude Awakening - My Gobi dessert tour driver's sleeping accommodation is the emptied back of our versatile Jaman Yos, a Soviet era tank of a van. I suppose his startled reaction is normal for anyone awoken by a 70-200mm lens pointing at his face. Luckily he's one of the kindest Mongolians I've met and he didn't want to tear my heart out for the rude awakening.
