A few weeks ago I have been to Stuttgart for 2 days. Both the Mercedes and the Porsche museum were the by far most impressive photo spots and I spent more than one hour each to capture different angles and light situations.

Japan was the last country on my big trip in autumn 2011. I visited Kyoto, Tokyo and Nikko. Unfortunately I was a bit early to see the so called Autumn Colors when all the leaves turn orange-red and cause an unbelievable atmosphere for a few days. Nevertheless even the first beginnings I saw were enough to turn Kyoto and Nikko into a photographers paradise and Tokyo, besides Seoul the epitome of the term "High Tech City", had many very interesting photo spots too. All in all in my opinion Japan is one of the most versatile countries for taking photos and to come here in spring to see the cherry blossoms is very high up on my list of places I want to visit in the future.

Seoul is a great city! With its population of more than 10 mio. it is one of the world's largest citys but you hardly notice that walking down the roads. Just when you climb one of the adjacent mountains you get a feeling for how freakishly huge the city really is. Unfortunately I didn't made it to the demilitarized zone so I know what I will do first when I visit Seoul again.

Taiwan. Even though there where offsets of the typhoon Nalgae I had a good time in Taipei. Since it was raining all the time I didn't made it to one of the national parks but I did some hiking. That maybe sounds crazy since Taipei has the reputation to be a high tech megacity but I had read in the internet that there are many nice trails around the city and indeed I took some of the best photos from there.

Indonesia. Jakarta was a bit of a disappointment in terms of photography. My attempts to get a photo of the city from the rooftop of a skyscrapter didn't get above the 10th floor of a parking garage as photography in big buildings was generally forbidden. However my second designation in Indonesia, Yogyakarta, more than made up for this. The temples of Prambanan and Borobudur are simply awesome no matter whether you are taking photos or not.

Since I have been to Vietnam for three days only there aren't many pictures. Nevertheless I am happy to have been there and hope to visit the north of the country as well some time.

Cambodia. Prior to my journey it was one of the countries I was really looking forward to and despite the rain it was one of the most beautiful and interesting countries I had seen. Even though I have no idea about archeology Ankor Wat was one of the most impressive complexes I have ever seen and I would recommend everybody who gets near Siem Reap to spend at least one day there.

After having already uploaded the Moscow and India photos taken on my Asia trip today I have uploaded the third country – Thailand. Even though I wasn't that thrilled by Thailand and its photo spots, I was positively surprised during post processing how many nice pictures I got out of it! But take a look at it yourself...

Today I completed the India album of my summer trip to Asia. There will be some more photographs of the people in India at a later point.
