For thirteen long seconds, I held my breath and hoped that the lady sitting at her computer in the office (top left corner) would not move!

Flaming Cinco De Mayo Feast!

In the eye of the beholder.

11 Dec 06 - A face in the crowd; can't quite put my finger on the expression - Sadness? Tiredness? Compassion?...

Peru : Two nights before the quake struck in Peru we were whiling away time at Mira Flores in Lima waiting for our flight back to New York; apparently a few people have lost their lives in that area of Lima. I do hope Lisa, Elena and David - part of the group who extended their stay in Peru - are safe and having a great time in the jungle and at the Nazca lines (update - they are OK).

Peru is simply a fantastic experience, everything about it is unique and unforgettable - friendly and welcoming people, a juxtaposition of cultures, old and new architecture, the elevation and mountains, endless steps, trails and vistas, a variety of food and pisco, exquisite art and handicrafts, exotic alpacas and llamas.

I hope the pictures will give you some sense : of the great set of folks I shared the adventure with; of Cusco, capital of the Inca civilization; of hiking and camping the ancient, arduous Inca trail; of the mystical, magical Machu Picchu; of serene Lake Titicaca, highest navigable lake in the world; of Peru's people, food, flora, wildlife, art and architecture.

Note - The pictures are arranged based on the date taken; so you will find pictures in the following order - in and around Cusco (Page 1), the Inca trail and Machu Picchu (Page 11) and Lake Titicaca (Page 20)

I will get around to captioning and describing the pictures in due course, meanwhile, do leave behind your thoughts and comments below; Gracias!

Navajo Nation : "Today is a good day to die" - A Native American Indian greeting.

1800 miles by air, 900 miles by road and 40 miles by foot into the heart of Navajo Nation was simply a spectacular experience. Over 4 days, I had the opportunity to hike and photograph Antelope Canyon (over millions of years, running water has carved deep 'slots' into sandstone; sunlight filtering through the roof of the 'slots' create a brilliant display of color, light and shadow), Glen Canyon National Park, Lake Powell, Horseshoe Bend (a captivating meander in the Colorado river which can be viewed from a steep cliff, high above the river bend), Monument Valley (isolated red mesas and buttes surrounded by empty, sandy desert on the Colorado plateau), Painted Desert (multi-hued badlands of the Chinle formation rocks) and Meteor Crater (a 50,000 year-old meteorite impact site).

I do hope these pictures encourage you to follow my footsteps!
