My Photo scholarship 2010 entry

Worldwide | Thursday, October 14, 2010 | 5 photos

Dear sir, madam,

My photo's were taken during my last year worldtrip that took me through the Middle East and South-Asia.This journey was the most breathtaking and mindblowing experience of my life. I realised that countries like Iran, India and Syria are so much more than television and newspapers make us believe. These countries were a festival for my eyes, every day I saw the most beautiful people, architecture and nature.

I must admit that i am not a professional photographer, but I let the surroundings do the work. The photo's that I selected come from the deepest of my heart, and they show the best moments of my travels.

Bhutan is known for its peaceful way of life, incredible nature and profound spiritualism. I believe that a visit to Bhutan will change my way of life and thinking. The ability to change my perspectives on life are intrinsically intertwined with travelling and meeting different people. These experiencies are of the most interesting and important things in my life.

I hope you take my photo's in consideration.

Best regards,


Manon Tiessink
