On the second photo from the bottom- the juice colletion vessels- Taiwan’s aborginies hang those bamboo tubes on the trees to keep the birds away for the fruits or vegetables they grow.
Amazing sanctuary, admire each culture’s ancenstor’s wisdoms!

I think the 18-200mm is a good choice for travel, I have the Tamron 18-270mm too,
as I will use it for travel sometimes, it’s very convinient and won’t miss any shots!

yea the wide angle lenses would be really useful for scenery and event photography… for travel i usu don’t lug around different lenses so i stick to the multipurpose 18-200mm for zooming in sometimes.

My pictures are JPEG resized under 250K, that’s the limit I set for loading faster in the site,
and I use the Picasa album for storage, the link speed is near to Flickr and it’s free! ^.^

Thank you very much for linked my site too! ^.^
Photography is my bobby for many years, but still learning about it,
I usually use the Canon 450D and 24-70mm F2.8 L for travel,
and playing around the Fisheye lens recently, the image distort is quite interesting!

yup…some of the carvings have been restored.. u’ll notice the colour differences also because difference pieces were found from the rubble so it’s like piecing a jigsaw together.

Amazing!

Unbelievably beautiful bas-relief!
Did they just redo some of the carvings? Can spot some stone colour differences…
