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 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!
Hambre alguien?
Calle Maloja, Sitios, Havana.
…And some red dots. Most of the pictures from Vallee de Mai..
One of the “must see” recommendations in the guidebooks about Praslin/Seychelles is to visit Vallee de Mai. It´s a palm rain forest consisting of the endemic Coco de Mer.
It is also declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I wanted to see the place and luckily I could coordinate with Pierre from the capital of the Seychelles and his Nikon to accompany me. He was the perfect guide!
Thank you Pierre for a nice excursion!
All photos from the Seychelles are taken with a Canon Powershot S-100.
La Playa.. North of Alicante. June 2009
Nearby the mouth of the Amazon River. Not the longest but by far the largest river in the world!
The difference between a nice journey and an extraordinary adventure is the persons you meet!
Thank you Pierre, Adrian, Fadette, Michell, Danielle, Benjamin, Jelena, Ilyas, Anne, Martin, Christina, Peter, Billy, Tess, Jemmy and several other persons for spicing up my visit to the Seychelles
