Dog Sledding : A trip to Greenland in the winter isn't complete without going out on a dog sled, so we went the whole family on two sleds led by two local hunters. It was -15 degrees celcius in the morning and it got so cold sitting still on the sled that I had to get up and run along.

Siwa and Surroundings : Siwa is an oasis in the Sahara Desert in northwestern Egypt close to the border of Libya. Nowadays it consists of several villages and two lakes connected by fields of mainly date palms and olive trees. The place has plenty of both nature and history lumped together in a relatively small area, so I spend a lot of time biking around between the palm trees finding my way around the oasis. These photos are from the first day that I spent there.

The first week there I stayed at Havelock island taking diving lessons. This is (to my knowledge) a fairly typical touristy tropical island. There are still nice spots to be found though, and since I was around during the monsoon the place was fairly empty.

Situated in 4500 meters altitude, this collection of low dirt houses serves mostly as a pit stop for truck drivers crossing the Altiplano.

Sand dunes near Ica : On our way back from Ayacucho, Ruthie and I involuntarily passed by Ica where we had a day to spend. Like most tourists coming there, we went to the Laguna de Huacachina ('hua' is pronounced as 'wa') which is beautiful but overcrowded. To escape the masses we decided to buy water and head out in the dessert, walking barefoot for hours along the soft ridges of the sand dunes before sitting down to watch the spectacle of the settling sun, only momentarily interrupted by the humming of an occasional sand buggy driving a load of tourists around in the valley floor far below us.

La Selva : Together with Ruthie I went to visit the Peruvian jungle in the area just before the Apurimac river joins the Mantaro River, driving the 197 kilometers from Ayacucho down to the jungle in a small truck zigzagging down small dirt roads for 8 hours. These photos start out in the town of San Fransisco where we first arrived, and continue in a small reserve some 30 kilometers south where we hiked in the jungle for two days on a path taking us past 5 magnificent waterfalls, all much to big to be captured with my 50mm lens. The rest of the photos are taken in or around Pichari, where the local city counsel were very enthusiastically helping us and inviting us fishing, as we were the only tourists who had come by for months. More information about the area can be found here: http://www.visitaelvrae.galeon.com/ (in spanish).

Together with Ruthie I spent a few days here relaxing and recuperating after an exhausting trip from Cuzco, hitch hiking north through the Andes.

Along the way we had the good fortune of seeing both an inca and a Chanka fortress guarding the mountain passes on our route. The first 4 photos are taken from an Inca temple close to Huamaraca, while the later photos are taken at dusk of a beautiful fortress built by the Chanka, who were another peruvian culture fighting the Incas. The last two photos are snapshots from Andahuaylas where we spent a day before taking a bus to Ayacucho.

Peruvian Highlands : After joining up with Ruthie in Cuzco, we decided to hitch hike north towards Ayacucho, and had barely spent 10 minutes on the side of the road near Abancay before a friendly accountant picked us up in a dazzling red sportscar and proceeded to drive up and down hair pin turns on small dusty two track dirt roads at speeds I wouldn't have thought possible. He ended up taking us on an 8 hours drive to Andahuaylas, including a stop for the night in the small village, Huamaraca where his parents live and a half day hike up to a cloud forrest on the border to the amazon jungle. The photos below are fragments from the first part of our journey from Abancay to Huamaraca, cloud forrest included.

The sea of tourists swarming the streets was a big difference from the past week and it took me a while to readjust. While going for a walk to get away from the city center, I inadvertently bumped in to an Inca temple, Sacsayhuaman (pronounced like 'sexy woman'), where I spent a while taking photos of the stonework. The photos are mainly from my visit to this temple, as well as a few details from doors and walls around Cusco.

Tirana : As I hitchhiked north together with Claire, numerous drivers suggested that we go to a certain festival of religious dances in a small town called Tirana in the north of Chile, not too far from Iquique. We didn't have many concrete plans so it didn't take much to convince us. Not knowing exactly what to expect we set of for Tirana from Iquique in the late afternoon and arrived there a couple of hours later, greeted with the sounds of drums beating to all sides. We walked through the small pueble to find a place to camp, and found every street filled with dancers in large groups each with their own band playing playing incessantly next to them, and each with their own distinct dress and theme. These photos are all taken from the first evening, spent walking around in a constant wonder of this spectacle that had chosen to appear in front of us.

Outside of a few fishing boats and a declining mining industry, there is nothing here. It shows. So much in fact that Claire and I agreed that we had to stay a while here on our journey north, to take a look at the nothingness. The photos are taken on an early morning walk along the desolate beach front over to the harbor where sea lions were swimming around waiting for the fishermen to come back.

Portillo : With Ruthie I hitchhiked from Santiago to Portillo which is an old ski station that lies right before the border between Chile and Argentina, up high in the Andes Mountains. On the shores of Laguna del Inca we put up our tent, and went for a short evening hike, only to find the tent gone when we returned. After searching for hours in the dark without luck we had to give up, assuming that the wind had carried the tent out in the lake, so instead we had to make do with a couch in an old hotel not so far away, where they took pity on us and let us sleep for free in the lounge, as they didn't have any guests anyway.

El Cementerio : The Cementerio of Santiago is a place I visited many times during the year I lived there. It's a diverse burial ground, partly covered by grandiose mausoleums in one end, contrasted by rusty metal crosses and barren fields at the other. I find the section of the poor a lot more charming than the cold architectural oddities housing the well to do, because of the colorful decorations and banners that fills this part of the graveyard. Many graves are decorated with banners supporting football teams, birthday balloons, parasols etc, and right after Christmas, a monotone concert of worn out Christmas cards playing jingle bells can be heard as you walk through the sites.
