- This shot was taken in bolivia close to Sucre city. On 4800m above sea level the mountain releases gas everyday from 5am till 7am. The gas is hot but not dangerous. Its a beautiful view in the middle of a desert. There is always a lot of travelers stoping and checking out because the place is included on the Salar de uyuni tour.

- Monsoon Rains - Children at the Pond

- After the monsoon rains, I traveled in southern Ethiopia. While visiting the Lower Omo Valley tribes, I spent some time with these lovely children. This is the local version of leisure at the "swimming pool". The harsh environment, and the fact that the children share the same pond with cows and donkeys does not prevent them from enjoying the short wet season, which will soon turn into mud, dust and drought.

- Early morning at Trillium lake, Oregon, the sun had not fully come out yet, but these two folks had already launched their boats for fishing. It was quite a lot of fun to watch them chatting and casting the line, especially with the morning colors and mist.

- Deep, blue and cold. The frightening experience of climbing inside an ice cave on the north face of alpine summit at 3800 m above sea level is very difficult to describe in words. Especially in summer, when all the glacial ice melts making the place for completely new formations. You need to stay focused, pay attention to every single move and commit yourself entirely to this climb. The reward?! An amazing experience of climbing something pure and truly unique.
