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!
This is a low resolution fragment of my 36 min long slide show De Cayo Hueso a Rio Miel about Cuba. The blog have now passed 10 000 clicks
Hope you keep coming back.. I am enjoying big time!
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!!
Chen is selling herbs, beans and rice at the central market in Marianao, Havana. As many Cubans he talks a lot. He is a big fan of AC Milan so that’s one of the main themes in his conversations with clients and colleagues! Nice guy!
First of May 2011. Gothenburg.
But by no means the blues.. Oh no, this is the Seychelles.
As you see I have done some street photography and visited the fish market in the capital Victoria.
One picture shows the old chinese store Sham Peng Tong that’s “been around for ages”
The photographer himself also gets the opportunity to pose beside the blue rental jeep
The three ladies with umbrellas is on the island of La Digue.
There is a green version as well
Thank´s Miles for giving me inspiration for the title!
Hambre alguien?
In the evening the streets of Tivolí turns into a living room, a bar, a love nest, gossip corner, concert arena, football ground, black market shop, dance hall….
From last summers Göteborgs kulturkalas..
