Madame butterfly. she was so excited to show us her catch that she rendered the poor thing unable to fly. throwing it didn't work either. Hiking above terkhiin tsagaan nuur (white lake). Horseridin' to the volcano. Crater. this volcano erupted 8000 years ago. And the debris can be seen for miles. The town of tsetserleg.

Friday, 23 January 2009. India - the north. Kolkata.the once capital of british india. still regarded by indians as the cultural capital, is filled with crumbling stately buildings and wide boulevards. India's national pastime and obsession.cricket at new market. Real coffee at flury's, a stylish art deco cafe. Every era of architecture is represented in kolkata. this one.50's style. We heard these human powered 'tana rickshaws' were banned. not so. Lookin' out our hotel window. Why so serious little man?

Monday, 8 February 2010. Nestled beneath the massive illampu (6400m) the tranquil town of sorata. On an afternoon walk, we rise above sorata. We make it to sucre (bolivia's 'white city') just in time for new years. With friends brad and sarah we had met way back in ecuador. 24 hours later and this guy finally gets some sleep, on a bar stool. Off we go on our 3 day 4wd tour of salar de uyuni and the reserva eduardo avaroa. first stop of the tour.the train cemetery. Our salt brick hotel and replica llama.

Tuesday, 22 June 2010. We just couldn't pass up the opportunity for a twelve day stop over just to say hello/goodbye one last time. luckily we landed about ten hours before all flights were grounded due to the volcanic ash cloud. whew. After meeting up with ma, we stroll around hamstead and the heath. On top parliament hill for a packed lunch. Daffodils in bloom in green park. Newly renovated stockwell skatepark. Peter henry stuart hambly. And an equally busy borough market for lunch. The oldest planned ...

The trekking continues. now outside the town of el chalten and walking below the peaks of the fitz roy massif. Pointy cerro torre and laguna torre. Heading towards our next camp, just beyond laguna hija. The lovely ...

Wednesday, 18 February 2009. After many stupid o'clock train arrivals, we were finally rewarded with an amazing sunrise at haldwani station.

And straight to work on an irrigation tank that will be used by ten families in the village. here we are mixing cement with sadhu, a local worker. Went for a ...

Friday, 24 October 2008. With a magical place like tibet, we had quite a task to narrow down over 300 photos to the ones shown here.and it still doesn't do it justice. enjoy! Waking up to watch the sunrise. the train journey from chengdu to lhasa was the best one yet. amazing landscape. Highest railway in the world.at one stage travelling at 5000m. Landscapes changed from rocky moonscapes, to winter wonderlands, grassy plateaus, and desert hills. Barkor square - old town lhasa. Buddhas everywhere. in...
