A split second before the door was closed at the tram. Some strange characters you meet around the Kviberg market in Gothenburg.

Yaniel checking on one of his carrier pigeons. He lives in the house behind him with his mother and his maternal grandparents. The house is very basic but to everyone’s pride they recently have managed to cover the roof with corrugated iron!

Went by bus from Lugo in Galicia to meet up with up with my pilgrim companion. The driver apparently was inspired by the Spanish F1 driver Fernando Alonso .
Fully concentrated on the possibilities of survival I lost the chance to enjoy the beautiful green Galician surroundings.
I tried the slow lane instead. Can highly recommend 3km/h through the oak forest and some birdsong in the background.
September 10. Galicia, Spain.

Katja Bourova promenerade de dryga 80 milen från Frankrike till Santiago de Compostela. Fotografen hängde på från Villafranca till slutstationen.

I made friends with Yaniel in Viñales in the western part of Cuba. He has spent his whole life in that particular valley in Pinar del Rio province.
Yaniel is surrounded by animals of all sorts, horses, dogs, cattle and above all birds. The nature itself is his teacher and what Yaniel does´nt know about birds is not worth knowing.
By the way, do they see the same hairdresser??

It´s not always necessary to go to The Seychelles or Cuba for a nice scenery. I have a live postcard waiting all the time just 2 minutes from where I live in Masthugget, Gothenburg.
This view over Majorna and Älvsborgsbron constantly changes according to weather or light conditions. Those who follow my blog have seen it before and will most probably see it again.
