| 13th December 2009 Nancy | Prague - From: Czech this out My husband & I have worked for 6 to 8 months for 4 years in Prague but are home this year. You have taken the BEST photos of Prague we have ever seen. Your photographic skills are of the first order (and you must have a really great camera too. What is it?) Thanks for a wonderful wonderful set of photos. You have made us so homesick this morning! Nancy and Bill |
| 13th December 2009 Nancy | Magnificent - From: Jerusalem, Masada and the Dead Sea I really enjoy (and admire) your photos of Jerusalem. My husband and I are going there in early March 2010 and the photos were a terrific introduction to this beautiful land. Thank you. |

| 4th September 2009 Frieda | They don't build them like they used to - From: Teotihuacan and Mexico City great showcase of pictures of these magnificent temples/monuments/cathedrals. Teotihuacan looks massive , I suppose an aerial view from the balloon is worth every cent . |

| 23rd October 2008 steffen | Isle of Man mutants - From: Isle of Man Of course you're right - the Manx cat is best known as being entirely tailless. This comes as a result of a natural mutation of the spine. |
| 18th October 2008 sylvieontour | Where are the cats without tail? - From: Isle of Man It isnice to see somepictures from this Island. Some years ago I have been there 6 weeks. I love this Island. Have fun und take care Sylvie This is my travelblog: www.mytb.org/sylvieontour |

I will ask you for some diving tips if I go there again! :-) |
| 15th April 2008 wahwahwahshoobydooda | Egypt glorious Egypt - From: The ancient temples of Luxor and Karnak Anyone travelling to have a taste of Egypt, be it temples, tombs, new sensations or adventures would not be disappointed with Luxor - it would oblige the traveller readily as your pictures testify - great pictures which tell many stories... how parts of the world have barely changed , people still dress in their traditional dress , they follow their customs and traditions , live simply and some skilfully fleece you . Anyway mate, I would like to give the butcher and all that dead flesh a miss .. gruesome :-( |
| 6th April 2008 Franco | - From: Diving with Dolphins Wow, what a rush you must have had. |

| 2nd March 2008 sunshine | Good job! - From: Egyptian pyramids - Giza, Saqqara and Dahshur Hey Steffen! Such a beautiful photos of pyramids! I even have some kind imagination afterwards that I have visited them once, but I haven't. Especially I like calm and careless expression of camel, it was really posing for your shot :) Why don't you take part in some photocontest? I would be fan of your pictures! ;) I also have read your description of pyramids - a lot of useful info. Good job! P.S. I am going soon to Azerbaijan and maybe will organise my profile too, when I will get some free time. Best wishes from Kiev |
| 9th January 2008 Chi | - From: From Abu Simbel to Aswan, Kom Ombo and Edfu wow, das sind ja Horden von Touristen in Abu Simbel... ich war 99 in Ägypten und musste Abu Simbel leider sausen lassen, da es keine befahrbare Straße gab und man nur per Flugzeug von Aswan hin konnte... was mir zu teuer war. Scheint sich ja mittlerweile geändert zu haben! und heey, wie bekommt man eigentlich so ein Banner (am Anfang der Seite) hin? Gruß aus Hamburg, schön noch einen Deutschen Travelblogger hier zu haben :-) |
| 22nd December 2007 Chi | - From: Moscow Moscow looks nice! I wanna see Moscow and St.Petersberg by chance as well! :) |
| 3rd December 2007 capsfan2002 | Great photos! - From: Miami and the Everglades: minutes away, yet worlds apart I rated a few as a result...keep blogging! |
| 7th November 2007 YPiC | Charm Charming and Charmed in Jodphur - From: Jodhpur Exquisite pictures of the most beautiful place. Mehrangarh Fort -the place to be-simply awesome. The video is great, really captures the bustling busy choatic noisy mood--can't beat Indian drivers and their beloved horns ! they must have born with one already strapped to their hands. |
| 17th October 2007 BP | simply beautiful.... - From: Moscow pictures and images..nice one Steffen !thanks for posting up quite a few fotos-- there can never be too many in my reckoning. Descriptions are interesting and spot on. |
| 9th October 2007 Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...... | Fotos galore :-) - From: Kathmandu Valley Your fotos seem to capture the ordinary people in their ordinary worlds going about their ordinary lives, oblivious of your camera and your presence (I presume?) Stunning pictures..especially of the "Girl" in the pink...such a natural beauty ! She seems so at ease ............... |
| 8th October 2007 pritish | snaps ! - From: Goa like the snaps ...specially the yellow mellow ...nice observation ! |
| 13th September 2007 Tut Tut | What a cracker! - From: Munnar and Mudumalai National Park A safari in Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary --how exciting....great shots especially the sunset and the elephant shots. The tree house simply sounds and looks a phenomenal experience--didn't the animal sounds at night scare you??? C'mon old chap ! your pics are great so more pictures please :-) |
| 23rd July 2007 Uppuma | Food Glorious Food ! - From: Backwaters Great pictures !! especially the one of the delicious food which is a typical south Indian meal. What you were drinking from the coconut was the coconut water . Coconut milk is actually the liquid that is squeezed out of the coconut kernel( the white flesh of the coconut) and is usually used in cooking--it is not particularly nice to drink. The coconut you're holding appears to be young which means the flesh would have been very tender and jellylike-- yummy. Well Steffen what with lessons in zoology and culinary,your expertise in these two fields is going to grow and know no bounds, your photograpic genius is streaks ahead though !!!!! :o) |
| 12th July 2007 GR | colour colour and MORE COLOUR !! - From: Jaisalmer and Jaipur ......that's what's striking wherever you go in Rajasthan. Your photos capture that vibrancy and the beauty of the local scenes and people. Seeing your India pictures reminds me of my recent travels in India...India is awesome....the splendour and beauty of Mehrangarh Fort is hard to beat - I fell in love with this pile of beautiful stonework :-) and in so many other places in India too......... |
| 12th July 2007 Steamboat-on-the -Thames | Fabulous Fotos - From: Stunning Ajanta and Ellora caves Considering flash photography and tripods were'nt allowed you've managed to capture the murals and the interior of the temples/caves really well . The awe of these magnificent monuments is truly striking from your fotos ! |
| 12th July 2007 Sea2007 | "20000 leagues under the sea" - From: The world's largest aquarium Amazing pictures - I am sure you felt like being „20000 leagues under the sea“! The “Georgia Aquarium” seems to be a real paradise for marine and sub-marine enthusiast. Already thought about the next dive? |
| 28th June 2007 Sea 2007 | Detailed insights into the Capital of Belgium - From: Brussels Nice photos of the Capital of Belgium - very interesting combination of historic buildings and modern architecture - great picture of the Atomium in the driving mirror! Where is the picture of Manneken Piss ? - I am missing it! I visited Brussels once by taking the EuroStar from London to Brussels which was quite an interesting journey to a nice city. I had the chance to visit the once-a-year antique market of Brussels with hundreds of lights illuminating the city - lovely. Belgium chocolate: A real temptation (even on the picture!) with no possibility to resist - just great, loving it! |
| 29th May 2007 YTP | Fabulous Pictures with subtitles! - From: Taj Mahal Just an observation: your pictures tend to have subtitles- excellent touch ! makes the pictures all the more interesting to look at. The Taj Mahal is beautiful monument is quite an awesome sight to behold as it does not come into full view till the very last moment as you approach through the archway - quite breathtaking. Seeing such beautiful symbolic buildings should be enjoyed in good company as I did - always wanted to see the Taj Mahal and it sure lived up to its hype and drama. I dare anyone not to be moved by its sight! Hey you seem to have a penchant for white knuckle rides... sitting on railway tracks with an oncoming train ?? how does that compare on the stressometer with your bus ride in Valparaiso ? |
| 27th May 2007 steffen | Zoology - From: South East England Thanks Anna, I was never any good at zoology :-) |
| 24th May 2007 Anna | Duck, duck, goose - From: South East England Hi! Just thought I'd point out your 'duck' is actually a goose! Lovely pics. though! |
| 15th May 2007 GR | Wild and Rugged - From: Gower Peninsula and Caerphilly Castle ...and the photos too.....just sums up the beauty of Wales. Caerphilly Castle against the dark sky looks magnificent. My favourite pic is the coastal path as it reminds me of the many coastal paths I have treaded in the UK- brings some lovely memories for me of running along for miles. Many a time completely taken over by the solitude ,tranquility and beauty that I had gone too far one way to return on foot and had to resort to begging a lift back to where I was staying :-) The National Trust, a registered charity, do a great job in caring, managing and protecting special places, including coastal paths, in the UK and rely on the generosity of its supporters, of which I am proud to be one - membership gives free or a concessionary rate to admission to properties cared for by the National Trust, a beautiful members' handbook and magazines . Tuesday 9 May marked the 50th anniversary of the Gower Peninsula, Swansea, becoming the first ever area in England and Wales to be designated 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' (AONB).. which you have certainly captured with your camera. |
| 13th May 2007 Franco | - From: Gower Peninsula and Caerphilly Castle Lovely photos. |
| 2nd May 2007 YPP | Exquisite pictures Exquisite Italy - From: Tuscany - Pisa, Lucca and Apuane Alps Your pictures are one of the best I have seen on Travelblog - always interesting with creative slants to them, for example"Frescos and Fresh Underwear" reflects the wit of the photographer. The sunset picture scores for me as I do love sunsets and I have been very privileged to have experienced some spectacular sunset moments when I travelled in India a few months ago. Blog is succinct and informative - keep 'em coming! |
| 12th March 2007 Y>T>P | Beautiful - From: Krakow Gorgeous pictures and you would make a good tour guide the way you meticulosly and methodically describe places. Love flea markets -the most obscure things that people will sell usually brings a smile to my face. Once in France at a flea market an elderly lady was selling worn out toothbrushes!! I think she was having a laugh ,don't you?? however, she looked dead serious about her wares but hey! who was I to argue ..she must have been confident in shifting that stuff otherwise she wouldn't be there, or would she?! bless her |
| 12th March 2007 TravellingPartner | Nice work if you can get it! - From: Diving with Dolphins This is one helluva an experience to have: to swim with the dolphins - Boy! I am so jealous. Excellent write-up with good well detailed information which I am sure travellers would find useful. The fotos are super -lovvvvve the “Flying dolphin” Sorry, techologically challenged here! haven’t worked out how to post pictures on to your Top Rated Photo Album . |
| 12th March 2007 Ratha | Memorial - From: Auschwitz It takes a very brave soul to handle a visit to Auschwitz. It is an extremely harrowing experience . It makes grim reading and the gruesome pictures make my hair stand on ends. Your feature reminds us of the uselessness, the waste of wars but keeps the memory of the dead alive and remembers their grieving friends and families. “Non-violence is not a cloistered virtue to be practiced by the individual for peace and final salvation, But is a rule of conduct for society, if it is to live consistently with human dignity and make progress towards the attainment of peace for which it has been yearning for ages past”…. Mahatma Gandhi ( "6th October: Indian Wisdom 365 Days"; Thames and Hudson) |
| 9th March 2007 Izmarelda | Izzy - From: Sinai Mountains and Saint Catherine's Monastery This bring back some memories for me I wish I was in the 70’s again-you would not know about the 70s would you? Great pici’s well done Steffen never disappoint do you? keep them coming who needs to go on holl's I’ll just read your journals instead |
| 20th February 2007 G.R. | Fascinating - From: Petra Very detailed and well researched blog with superb pictures- can't decide which ones I like the best as they are all good. Perhaps the The Treasury and the The Siq I think.. or perhaps...the colourful sandstone swirls............I need to reflect ! Petra is indeed as beautiful as they say. |
| 17th February 2007 Jacques | Spectacular - From: Petra Due to this site, I have changed my travel plans to include Petra. My wife does not yet know that we will be visiting Jordan, but by the time she is on the ferry from Nuweiba, it will be too late. |
| 28th January 2007 lindab | nice blog.. - From: Diving in Dahab we were in dahab 6 days before the terrorist attack last year and thought it was fantastic, horrified by what happened but are returning at Easter. We ate at a reastaurant called Al Capones which was I think damaged by the attack but I wondered if it is still there to your knowledge. |
| 7th January 2007 Y.N#1.F. | “Stay Duned” ...witty! - From: Sinai Mountains and Saint Catherine's Monastery You have scored top marks for the pictures again,great stuff. I especially like the picture of the looooong TRAFFIC FREE! desert road (Sinai). Believe me after living in a crowded city it makes me appreciate the Sinai road. I can imagine myself putting my foot to the floor and hammering down there on my bike or the car. Isn't it fascinating to find a monastery in the middle of a desert and even more fascinating that the monastery represents such a congruity of the three religions which often are at conflict with each other even to this day. Within the monastery walls there is the The Fatimid Mosque- the Muslim and Christian sacred domains sitting comfortably with each other, wow fancy that ! Your pictures show the colours of the desert terrain really well—stark they may look, but there is a beauty about the starkness and desolation of such a hostile environment. Writing about your personal experiences and thoughts makes it so much more interesting for me as a reader. |
| 3rd January 2007 Rrrrrrr....... | 10/10 again - From: Seychelles: Creole spirit, beautiful islands and stunning beaches The pictures have such clarity and the colours are truly exquisite: just how I would imagine the colours in Paradise would be. My favourite has got to be the one at Anse Jose (slide 7) followed by slides 25 (Mr.&Mrs. Murrays) and 33 ( that jump looks so awesome!). Interesting and useful information to be gleaned- an enjoyable read . |
| 1st January 2007 Franco | Fava bean dip. - From: Diving in Dahab Beautiful shot of the town with the mountains taken from the sea. You're right, the bean dip doesn't look appetizing, but it looks like the Mexican refried bean dip and it does taste quite delicious. It in turn looks a lot like our Hawaiian Poi, which is actually sour in taste, so I kind of expect a sour taste when I eat it, but it's completely different. |
| 1st January 2007 Franco | - From: Sinai Mountains and Saint Catherine's Monastery Great photos. Always wondered what this large mass of mysterious land looks like. One doesn't get to read or see much of it in most books. Wished I could rate your photos, but the rating system seems to be down. In spite of being desert, it's still quite beautiful. |
| 19th December 2006 Rrrrrrrrr | beautiful pictures and a very good write-up - From: Chile It is interesting to read the different modes of transport you seem to use to visit the various places, this is often not revealed in other blogs that I read. Highlighting the various landmarks in your blog makes it easy to read and useful as reference points. The picture shows the driver clutching the rail tightly, so how fast is the driver going if he needs to be hanging on? Therefore may I ask how many survive the " racing bus"??!?.... |
