The famous Lake Palace Hotel in Udaipur, as seen in James Bond’s Octopussy.
Highlights are blown on that one; well that was a very sunny day and the hotel is white; I could not really pull them out. Maybe shall I try to re-scan the film just to try to restore this part and merge different pictures to restore both highlights and the rest of the picture. I’ll have a try soon and post results here.

Entre Noel et jour de l’an sur le Lac Vembanad, dans le Kerala en Inde

We met these 3 Shan women and a man in the jumping cats monastery on lake Inle. They were coming from the hills, about 60 kilometers from there and were on a pilgrimage of Burma sacred sites.
Valerie had a row at other tourists which she felt was too invasive picturing them, I just took two quick shots, not wanting to have troubles with the wife.
These people were as much interested in us as we were in them, and we had a quick chat via our guide. The man was wondering if we were wearing “folkloric” clothes back home or if even there we were just dressed as tourists. Good fun and a gentle reminder on relativity of values.

Probably my best picture of Burma. The D700 makes wonders! or maybe the magic air of Inle? I like the quality of the image, that one feels like a slide.
[FR] LA petite fille qui ramait sur le Lac Inle.
Probablement ma meilleure photo be Birmanie. Le D700 fait des merveilles, ou alors c’est la magie de l’air du Lac? J’aime la qualité de l’image, on dirait une diapo.
