Happy to have my photo of a western lowland gorilla alongside the month of September in the new Greenpeace 2025 calendar.
The picture was taken in 2014 at Mefou Primate Sanctuary near Yaounde, Cameroon, Africa.

Lowering myself through a camouflaged entrance into the Cu Chi Viet Cong tunnel complex. The tiny entrance will only allow you to enter with outstretched arms and movement through the tunnels is done by walking in a bowed, crouched posture, not recommended for those unfit or claustrophobia prone.

Vietnam Railway journey!
The train window with darkened interior echoes the 8mm or 16mm movie screen format. Or even reminiscent of the early glass lantern slide. The train window thus became a 12-hour movie through mountain, sea and rice growing heartlands from Hue to Nha Trang.
