The decorated vehicles in Pakistan are a visual feast. Psychedelic, hypnotic and elaborate. The closer you get the more apparent it becomes that these are incredibly detailed works of art on wheels Si-o Seh bridge is 1 of 11 historic bridges in Isfahan. Built in 1602, 33 arches support its 298m length and mean it is also known as Siose Bridge (Persian for “33 Bridge” or “Bridge of 33 Arches”) Spanning the Zayandeh river, which is now dry for 9-10 months of the year (in a visible sign of Iran’s water issues, and an emotive subject for the locals), the lack of water allows the beautiful symmetry of it's arches to be explored. The Pamir Hotel in Murghab is literally the only hotel for 100's of kilometers. It smells damp and the food was terrible. But after days of homestays and days more to come, the hot showers were absolute bliss and it was a welcome change to have a proper bed and a door we could lock. From the 16th to 18th centuries Turkistan was the capital of the Kazakh khans. It is home to the mausoleum of Turkic Muslim holy man, Kozha Akhmed Yasaui, built by Timor in the late 14th century. It is Kazakhstan’s greatest architectural monument and most important pilgrimage site. Despite Timur dying before it was complete, leaving the main front facade unfinished - without the tilework and scaffolding poles still protruding - it is reflective of Timor’s creations in Uzbekistan (i.e. the Registran in Samarkand), and has no rivals in Kazakhstan. Founded in 1586 Erdene Zuu (Hundred Treasures) was the first Buddhist monastery in Mongolia, and is now considered to be the most important in the country. At its height within it's huge walled compound it had 60-100 temples and 1,000 monks. 108 stupas are spaced along its walls. Staying in the Main Bazaar (Paharganj) in New Delhi is a travellers rite of passage - it's crowded maze of narrow alleys off the main street make you lose all sense of orientation, while on the main street the shopkeepers and the hawkers jostle for your attention while you try and navigate the crowds and the tuk tuks and the cows and the rubbish. The sensory overload leaves you in no doubt - you can only be in India! . These boys were playing football in the road but the moment they saw my camera they got in their huddle and pulled their best poses The view from the top of Nizwa Fort, Oman. Built in the 17th century by Sultan bin Saif al Yaruba, the fort is known for its 40m-tall tower. From the top you can survey the town, it's surrounding date plantations and the Hajar Mountains that dominate the town. A legacy of the Portuguese colonisation of East Timor (Timor Leste) in 1520 is the beautiful old colonial building that dot its capital Dili. This one was known as Casa Europa, an old Portuguese army barracks, that was taken over by the EU as it supported the country following its independence.
