On the road to Siglo XX!

This is the mining district in Bolivia. Principal town Oruru.  The picture taken in Huanuni on the road towards Catavi, llallagua and the Siglo XX mine.  Mining in Bolivia is on the uprise again as the mineral prices world-wide are increasing.  The big lithium reserves is also a big asset.. think electric cars!

Revolutions in Bolivia have been initiated from these parts of the country. Working and living conditions are about as bad as it gets!

The Andean painter!

light-travel-021[1]Guillermo Guzman Manzaneda at work painting “La Casona” in his studio in Huancayo, Peru 1979. Somewhere I have recordings saved where this internationally recognized artist sings indecent songs in quechua for us (the native language)

Sightseeing Havana!

If you feel like a different sightseeing tour in Havana I would recommend you to put out your hand when a “Botero” passes by!

This is a collective taxi, almost always an old US made prerevolutionary wreck that runs along a fixed route.  The price is next to nothing but the experience can be worth a lot.

The Boteros are not supposed to pick up tourists but they do anyway!!

Seychelle panorama!

The panorama view over Praslin island, taken from neighboring La Digue. A peaceful, almost magical morning that got it´s only stain from a hung over, bad humoured café owner! Honestly the Seychellois in general are very nice to get along with!
