Bogotà and Cartagena

Because I don`t have enough pictures of Bogotà I emerged them with Cartagena. As on the subject of time line, Bogotà - Tayrona Park - Cartagena.

Tayrona Park

White beaches. Clear water. Warm water. Hammocks. Fish and chips. Beer.

What else can I say?

Ecuador

Quito is a stunning metropol and the capital of Ecuador. Just 27 km below the equator it stands on the southern hemisphere of the world. Living in an apartment with some friends I had a great time here.

Kuèlap

Only surpassed by Machu Picchu, Kuèlap is a old site dating back to 800 AD in the north of Peru. Although excavation has stopped, because of lack of money, enough is there to be seen to make a visit worthwhile. Cheap tours, a three hour ride away and not touristy at all, Kuèlap is a must see for the serious Peru explorer.

Amazone boat trip

A boat trip over the Amazone is always a remarkable experience. The pictures are bad, the story is okey, but the idea of having it done is good. Although I am glad it is over.

Machu Picchu

Since short one of the new 7 world miracles. A visit to Peru, isn´t a visit without seeing Machu Picchu. Builded by the Inca´s and left before the spanish found it, it is intact as much as possible for the now day tourist. I enjoyed it, I hope you do too, through my pictures.

Nazca Lines

Years ago, some old (or was it young pranksters) decided to draw into the ground. Since it doesn´t rain a lot, and they did it pretty deep, after 800 or so years you can still see them. Flying over them might be a cool idea, but it wasn´t. Waste of money!

Colca canyon

The second deepest canyon in the world. Although the deepest was only 150 km away, I didn´t really care for the extra 150 meters. You cannot capture depth in pictures anyway, so it might not look impressive. But believe me, when you are actually standing on the edge of the (second) deepest canyon of the world, it is deep.

Santa Catalina Monastery

The story is already written, here are the photos. A lot of red fancy houses where nons used to live.

Copacabana - Bolivia

Copacabana might be the most expensive and famous beach in the world. Bolivia has it´s own Copacabana. A bit colder and higher, but situated on the highest lake of the world (Titicaca).

Pampas - Rurrenbaque

From La Paz, you take an 18 hour bus ride into the jungle. Very bumpy because it is over gravel for 14 hours. And the buses in Bolivia are not what I am used to, after Argentina.

From there a boat trip over the river, into the pampas/jungle to spot animals and live the wild life.

Death Road

Death Road. First the story, now some pictures. I don´t really have some pictures where you can see the height clearly, but sometimes it gets up to cliffs of 400 meters.

Huayna Potosi - 6088m

Huayna Potosi - 6088 meters high. As you can see on the first picture, the track is from 4700m to 5130 and then continues the next day to 6088.

More pictures on Bart´s site

Bolivia

From Argentina into Bolivia. I only have the beginning of this trip, since on the next day in Tupiza (last picture), I burned my pictures to DVD. After that my camera got stolen. I hope you enjoy the rare five pictures.

Argentina

Argentina. From Buenos Aires to Mendoza, Bariloche (North Patagonia) and Salta. The pictures are in order of the travel.

Iguazu waterfalls

Iguazu waterfalls. Already a while ago but here are some pictures.

Brazil - Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro

Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The biggest and the most popular. The beauty and the beast. The city and the "town".

Guatemala - Tikal

Tikal. The biggest of the Maya sites. The most mysterious one, where jungle has overtaken and myst is forever. Nobody goes here, only the bravest and strongest... Oh and tons and tons of tourists.

Guatemala - Antigua, Pacaya, Livingstone, Semuc Champey

The next group of pictures taken in beautiful Guatemala. This time stare at Pacaya, some really hot lava and old building in Antigua.

Guatemala - Lago Atitlan

Guatemala, the country of the Maya's, the country of spanish invasion, the country of Lago Atitlan.

According to Aldous Huxley: "Atitlan is an embellishment of several immense volcanoes. It is really too much off a good thing. After a few days of this impossible landscape one finds oneself thinking nostalgically of the English Home Counties."

Enjoy the colorfull pictures.

Los Angeles

I will keep this part updated, so check out for new pictures around here...

Climbing 50 meters high

I guess Belgium is cool, 'cause I went there again! Three photo shoots in a row now, which where taken in Belgium.

This time we drove 30 km beneath Luik (Liege) and climbing this 60m high wall. I was nuts enough to take my camera all the way up, though securing it safely every time I needed to climb, and thus had the opportunity to take pictures of all the others.

Antwerpen

On a trip to Belgium we came across the harbour of Antwerpen. After we jumped out of the car, grabbed our camera's and grasped the idea of all the photo opportunities we were gonna get, we started taking pictures.

Pictures of boats, bridges and old "stuff". And this is the best what I could get up too.

If you would like to see what photos my photo-buddy made, look here.

Hasard Cheratte

This is the photo shoot from last sunday. An old mine in Liege (Belgium) is abandoned for some years now. It is an amusmentpark for camera enthausiast because it was pretty busy.

I hope you like the photos.

EdelChemie

My first digital photoshoot. An old chemical area, where they used to process chemicals. We just bumped into the place, it looked cool, so we took some pictures. Enjoy :-).

Zeiss photoshoot I

First photoshoot photos. Not so many, but I just want to post them for the record.

Norway

The trip to norway. It was the summer of 2005, and the three of us went there by a campervan. A very old one, but we survived. Hope you enjoy the photos.
