I almost never post street photography with people as my entry but this one seems fitting for Easter Sunday today. When I visited the Christian quarter in Jerusalem last year, I came across a big group of people reenacting the Stations of the Cross. This route depicting the crucifixion of Jesus in Jerusalem is called Via Dolorosa. I believe I took this photo near the 5th Station, Simon helping Jesus carry the cross. It was definitely a memorable moment seeing believers witness such a holy and important place for their faith.

Aoyama Cemetery, Tokyo

The Old meets the New, and it is Cherry Blossom Season. Tokyo has many great places to watch the blossoms but that old cemetery in the heart of Tokyo is somewhat special. In the background you have the skytowers of Roppongi yet you are on some kind of holy grounds surrounded by some fragile beauty. One of the best places to feel the season

Sakura best and beautiful flower 😍😍

Welcome the spring! Great image for that. Thank you for sharing. Tomas

Hello @czechglobalhosts! This is the view of Marina Bay area in Singapore, a photo that I took while there's an incoming storm / heavy rain along my way. It's an uncommon scene and this serves as my entry to the Asian Sunday photo challenge.

Thank you!

What a stunning image! Thank you so much for sharing! Are you from Singapore?

I'm currently staying here in Singapore, originally from Philippines😊 Thanks so much for appreciation. It's my pleasure to join your photo challenge😊

I will be in Singapore for a day and half next week... Is there something I shouldn't miss?

That's awesome! A bit short but I guess it should be fine, here are my suggestions:

  • Gardens by the Bay / Garden dome, this April the exhibit will be about spring, it will be filled with Tulips and other interesting plant & flowers (only happens once a year)
  • Night, I suggest the Clarke Quay, perfect for hangout and great food as well, you may see it here in my post Clarke Quay
  • Food, from 2nd-29th April, World Gourmet Summit will be held here in Singapore, you may check the details in there website (awesome food)
  • if you still have time to spare, you can visit these places as well: Sentosa, Siloso beach, Universal studios, & Marina Bay😊

Enjoy your stay here buddy!

Thanks ever so much for your tips and summary! Truly appreciated!

My pleasure to be of help to you. Have fun!😊

A small boat carrying people across the Buriganga river through the huge cargos. These men sails the water against danger everywhere around them. Sailing this dirty water at sunset gives a all different felling about the place.

Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Thank you so much for this beautiful image!

These photos I did on Kunashir (southern Kuril Islands). The water of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk off the coast there is quite warm in the summer. In August, it can be 15 and even 18 degrees. Therefore, in the shallows there is a huge number of marine plants.

Tides, waves and currents shake these grassy fields in one direction and then into another. If you are lucky and the weather will be sunny, which is rare in this region. Then you can enjoy an amazing game of color. Bright green, orange, blue, yellow.
Owing to the reverse surface of the water, these colors are mixed and flow into each other.

Little too cold for my liking:)....

18 degrees for the Sea of Okhotsk is almost boiling water)
Usually the temperature in the summer on the surface is 9-10 degrees ... Slightly deeper already 7

Nepalese village and the Thorong La Pass in the background (5,416 m). The Pass is the highest point of Annapurna Circuit and one of the highest "tourist" passes in the world. The picture was taken April 2017 - the day after I crossed the pass.

Pura Besakih is a temple complex on the slopes of Mt. Agung in Bali, Indonesia. It is the largest, holiest and most important Hindu temple in Bali. Perched at nearly 1000m, it is an extensive complex of 23 temples built on 6 terraced levels. The lava flow from a series of eruptions of Mt. Agung in 1963 missed the complex by mere meters. When I visited the temple, there was a huge rainstorm on the mountain, adding a mystical element to this holy site

Thank you so much for your submission. Have a great day. Tomas

Old and new in Seoul. This is one of the older areas marked for destruction to make way for the new apartment buildings! Sadly I had no tripod with me so I had to make-do, but I am happy with the results all the same!

It is by far one of the most beautiful temples I have ever visited. The 6-storey temple stands proudly on the hill overlooking the splendid countryside. The gardens are spectacular and the building itself is a work in progress. Each floor is beautifully decorated and the views from the upper floors are breathtaking.

Houses on a lake in Northern Thailand. This was taken off a tiny boat a meter wide while fishing for snakehead in the surrounding shoals. It was an incredible day even though I was feeling sick for most of it but caught a couple fish which made it worth it.

My Entry

This is Bhurban, Pakistan. I went to Bhurban in Aug, 2017, which is 140km away from our home city. The trip was so enjoyable and pleasant. Moreover, there was 43 Degrees Celsius in our home city but as we approaches Bhurban, the temperature gradually decreased to 20 Degrees and that was the moment we felt a lot. After entering hotel, we took rest and then came out to the backyard of the hotel. This was the place where we sat and enjoyed the stunning view of cold hills and mountains.

This photo was taken in a rugged mountainous area between Guangxi and Hunan provinces (China). There was an amazing atmosphere during this sunrise!

Great image!

Hello @czechglobalhosts. Here are my submission for this contest.
Cloudy sky and the colorful building in dhaka, Bangladesh.
Although it's over populated country but the beauty beyond it.This photos shows many colorful beauty of dhaka cities.
Here are the photos....

Here's my first ever entry in the contest.

Gyatso and Pang La are the two high passes you cross enroute to Everest Base Camp from New Tingri. The entire route up to the passes is dull, however, nothing prepares you for the breathtaking views of the Everest and neighbouring peaks from Pang La. From here on the views only get better. The Everest!
