 En Route to the Lost CityThe big push to Machu Picchu via the Salkantay Trek is not the finish, but the beginning. Day 1 brought the 15,091’ (4600 m) pass in shadow of Salkantay [20,574’ (6,271 m)] and the rest was downhill to the Lost City on this trek in April 2015. |  In Awe...After a season long journey to see this place, I finally realized what Mark Adams was talking about in his book "Turn Right at Machu Picchu." |  Double Fist Pump of JoyCelebrating a 4 month journey to one of the most stunning places in the world, the stoke couldn’t have been stronger to finally arrive to Salar de Uyuni in Southern Bolivia in April 2015. In this marvelous photographic landscape, the tour always ends too soon. |  Like a Top on the EquatorA cultural demonstration at Mitad del Mundo, outside Quito, Ecuador, pays tribute to the Ecuadorian people while they make moves on the 0°0’0” latitude line. I discovered at this time, in March 2015, that GPS has helped us understand more accurately in recent times where that line actually lies. |

 Misty Morning at Machu PicchuAtypical solitude at one of the world’s busiest tourist destinations in April 2015. Funny thing was, there were hordes of people there, even at 7 am. They just fortuitously stepped behind walls for this shot. |  A Dreamy Hawaiian PicnicAt a secret beach near Hana on Maui, a local mermaid shows how to soak up the soul of a place. |  Train to FlamDescending from Myrdal in central Norway, this is one of the prettiest train rides in the world (not even counting the fjord at the bottom!). |  North of the SunThis hidden beach in the Lofoten Islands, scene for the Norwegian documentary North of the Sun, played as our home for a brief backpacking trip. |
