Potala Planet Photo: Potala Palace, seat of the Dalai Lama, shown using a 360 degree panorama taken from the Potala Palace square in the evening. The directional light present when the photo was taken made post-processing incredibly painstaking and since I have limited experience with these photos, I made a mental note to attempt this type of panorama when the sun is directly overhead... just food for thought in case you wanted to try this planet panorama.

photo: Locked Horns - Somewhere in the Gobi desert, a Korean travel-mate stands at the ridge of an impossibly tall sand dune over a valley of smaller sand dunes. To reach the tops of these sand dunes, requires a surprising amount of stamina. For every 2 steps forward, one step is lost slipping back down the dune. I estimated these dunes to be approximately 150-200 meters tall.

photo: Ancestor Appreciation - The eldest living male in the family, in this case my eldest uncle, holds the responsibility to prepare offerings for Chuseok (추석) celebration. Here, he ritualistically pours and twice circles soju, a Korean rice wine, around incense to offer thanks to his father (my grandfather) as well as previous ancestors. Note the traditional Korean garb worn for the occasion called a hanbok (한복).
