Feature Image: Palofitos in Chile

The Palofitos (houses on stilts) stretch along the shorelines of Castro, the capital of Chiloé. When the tide is out, the ground is all mud. Here the tide is almost at its highest.

Posting a photo a day for 2016

Posted on Jan 1, 2016 in Photography

Today is the start of a new year and one I hope to fill with many more travel and photography adventures. As part of my commitment to keep improving my photography, and share some of my images, I started a project to post one image a day, starting today, for all 365 days this year of 2016. I am using a different site to post the images, so if you want to take peak, click on over to http://www.digital-photo-tutor.com. Look forward to seeing you here and there.

Chiloé Island

Posted on Nov 15, 2015 in Chile

Enjoyed a fantastic couple of days on Chiloé Island. The colourful wooden buildings, houses on stilts (palofitos), scenery and seafood were all fantastic. Nearly all the houses and buildings in colonial Chiloe were built with wood, and wood shingles were used extensively for siding & roofs. So many of the houses today still have the same construction, and painted in bright colours.

La Paz, Bolivia

In La Paz, Bolivia for just a couple of days … unfortunately. Would love to stay longer in Bolivia, it’s a beautiful country. A few images from today which included 3 cable car rides above the city, a visit to Witches’ Market in El Alto, and people watching on so many streets.
