View from the breakfast terrace at my hostel in Santarem, Brazil.
A vulture drying his wings and the boats arriving and leaving on the Amazon river. Nothing beats a tropical breakfast with fresh “jugo de Maracuja” (passion fruit) and a panorama like that..
(Photo converted to black and white, added some sepia tone)
Pedro Noda, my old fishing buddy from Viñales,Cuba enjoying the last fragment of his home-made cigar.
This guy was a cigar smoker and an ambitious man. Before heading the National bank and working as industrial minister, he won the Cuban revolution! He also tried to create the “New Man”
Administrating the revolutionary ideas was not as successful though, as the actual winning the battles. Sixty years after “la victoria” the cuban industry and economy is not in a particularly victorious state!
Anyway if you are leading the National Bank you have the privilege to put your photo on the bank notes and sign them… “Che Guevara”
A tobacco farmer in Pinar del Rio, Cuba taking a brake contemplating his efforts with the fragil tobacco plants. This is the origin for the Cohibas, Partagas, Monte Cristo and so on. Only the best!
Jan Åke enjoying a cigarette in Borlänge, Sweden. Quite some time ago.
Went by bus from Lima, Peru to the small isolated village of Huandoval in the Andes. Road sometimes closed due to rain and avalanches!
If you keep on climbing you´ll reach the mountain Huascarán 6 768 meters high!
Can still remember that popular quechua song the driver played over and over and over … trough those cracked loudspeakers!!
I saw the girl, the matching colours, the frame. She was restless wich allowed only a couple of seconds for me to prepare my compact camera. So I just pointed it roughly and shot. A bit overexposed but it´s an okay pic for a Wednesday entry at my blog I think!
The girl was a relative to the Indian woman who had married a Swedish man. The wedding party was going on in the houses in the background
The flower man in Camaguey, Cuba..
Gothenburg Marathon yesterday 12 of May. Who is the most admirable runner.. the guy with the fastest lap or the one with the twin carriage?
A few days ago going home on my bike along the river in Gothenburg..
