The Temple of Kukulkan or Pyramid of Kukulkan, Cancun, Mexico, is also known by the name "El Castello", a term that was used by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century, seeking some architectural similarity known in the European continent. The current temple was built in the XII century AD , by the Maya Itzaes in the ancient city of Chichen Itza, originally founded by the Maya in the VI century AD.

Tiruchirapall

2012-07-14T10:00:00.000+01:00

I spent a few days exploring the temples in Madurai and Tiruchirappalli,

India (also known as Trichy). What an awesome experience! Both cities are loud and chaotic places, but in the temples you'll find an oasis of serenity and cheerfullness. Hindu people who come here show a kind of devotion that is quite alien to me, but I did enjoy the atmosphere a lot. You'll find pilgrims, families and surprisingly few western tourists. There are places inside the temples that are off limits for non-hindus, but I could explore large areas (and the temples really are huge).

There aren't any fancy cars in our humble little street in Charvil, England. My son's M3coupe was as 'sporty' as it gets until a neighbour 2 houses down brought a Lotus... But a visit by something exotic like this is exciting for all the kids.

I complained last week about UK weather on the page of a Southern California photo, I was told to go 'immediately' to San Diego :) Well, that was a little less-than-easy, especially the 'immediately' bit... But summer works in mysterious ways...

Just back from a busy and productive week in Berlin, where we were blessed with 30-degree heat every day. The city felt like a tropical resort - everyone was out in the streets, in shorts and flip-flops, drinking beer and having a party. Thousands of 'improvised' bars, cafes and clubs were overflowing with young and beautiful people, especially on the banks of the river and canals.

Incredible vibe! Wish I had more time and didn't have to... work (excuse the 4-letter word :(

Norway Faces Down Terror with love roses and songs #7

At the public square Youngstorget in Oslo.
The tragedy of the 22nd of July, 2011 affected all the people of Norway. However at times like this when I see all people joining together to show that we will not answer hate with hate and violence with violence, I feel happy to be Norwegian.
