Burning Cyclists
In Black Rock City motorised vehicles are not allowed. People need to get creative and use any other means possible to move around, be it bicycles, windsurfs on wheels or anything else that the human mind is able to conceive.
Burning Man
For some, it's a holiday. Others see it as a big, out-of-control party. Or maybe a place to show off their art. A lot of people see it as intense meditation and a strong spiritual experience. In essence, it is an opportunity for people to break free from all inhibitions, all society-imposed "shoulds", all shames and man-made behavior rules, all obligations to others and to one's self.
In The Line Of Fire
The days of Carnival are always fun and everyone wears their biggest smiles, but don't complain if you become the crowd's next target...
Bombo De Cuero
The whole essence of argentine folclore music is encapsulated in this instrument; emotional, powerful, deep, unaffected by time.
Dancing In The Streets
Happy people, vibrant colors, endless dancing, music all around... It's not a party. Just another day in Colombia.
A Morbid Skyline
I see one of the most famous skylines in the world, complemented by bright blue skies. And in front of that symbol of beauty, wealth, success and superiority, I see a sea of minuscule houses, homes to all the souls that recently have been presented with a last farewell, for a number of reasons that only their beloved know. Isn't it ironic? I leave the interpretation of this image to you...
Death
They say death has a sense of humor. Well, in New Orleans at least, he definitely does!
Demolished
An earthquake? A war? A planned demolition? Godzilla? Whichever the scenario, not so many years ago, this used to be an entrance to one of the most profitable and revolutionary industries in Detroit. Now, the Packard plant is no more...
Life Above 4000 Meters
When a man's life is established at a constantly high altitude where the only widely available construction materials are water, dirt and hay, adapting and learning from the environment is the only way to survive. Things are not easy in the remote villages of Bolivia, but people have undoubtably learnt to put color in their lives.
Running On Water
Laguna Colorada in Bolivia is what hundreds of pink flamingoes call home. If you think it's unusual and beautiful to see a low flying flamingo, imagine having a 10 km long lake full of them at a stone's throw distance!
Titikaka Life
One who has never travelled to Peru or read about it, would assume that this photo is off a movie set portraying life many centuries ago. Truth is, your children could have the opportunity to witness this environment today, in the 21st century!
The Old Mountain
If even the sun has difficulties rising above those mountains to spread his rays over Machu Picchu, no wonder it remains a mystery how the Incas managed to raise all those enormous blocks of stone in the 14th century to build this breathtaking construction.
Red Beach
No one can ever doubt why the caribbean beaches are thought to have been painted with the colors of the most extensive pallet known to man. During the 24 hours of the day, the entire world gets covered in veils of all sorts of beautiful colors.
Quaint Colombia
"How quaint!" one would comment when laying eyes on this image. It looks like what would seem suitable for a luxurious resort at a popular tourist destination. But then again, is it?
Natural Spa
After taking a dip in a pool of high-consistency volcanic mud, there's nothing better than washing it all off in the green waters on the lake nearby...
Underground Life
Can there be beauty underground? There definitely should be, especially in large cities, considering that people every day spend a significant amount of their time commuting around the city through its underground routes. The Washington D.C. subway portrays that kind of futuristic, artificial, yet picturesque beauty.
Heroes
On one side of the reflecting pool one can find the huge Lincoln monument. On the other, before reaching the Washington monument, there is another body of water, surrounded by a wall of stars, one of the most characteristic symbols of the USA.
Architectural Excellence
The Petronas twin towers, the magnificent malaysian landmark that used to be the world's tallest building until a few years ago, remains a breathtaking sight that attracts millions of tourists and travelers who wish to marvel at its dominant position.
Polish Palace
The Palace of Science and Culture in Warsaw, another Stalinist building, is one of Stalin's projects after the war ended. To this day, it is still the tallest construction in the city and, without a doubt, one of the most impressive.
Memories On Paper
When one is on a multi-month journey, there are too many memories to be stored for one brain to handle and writing things down is the only way to do this. And sometimes, when spending the night in the middle of nowhere, in a country where even electricity is a luxury, a small candle and the pages of a scrap book is the traveler's only option.
