Bolivia update

Salar de Uyuni

I have now spent one week in Bolivia and thought I would give you a heads up of what is going on over here. Travelling in this vast country needs a lot of patience. The distances between the locations was a surprise to me, and I feel like I have been spending a lot of time on the road. However, the rewards are even greater. I have met some brilliant people in Bolivia as well as seen some of the most breathtaking landscapes on this planet. In fact you need to go to Mars to something like it (NASA trained for their Mars mission in these deserts).

Sol de Mañana

Anyway, I have spent some time in the far south and am now moving further north to the national park of Sajama. The scenery and the wildlife is surpose to be stunning. After that I have to get the car back into La Paz city. I am not looking forward to that - I have never seen traffic like it in my life!

The rare James Flamingo

I hope the images turn out OK. The screen I am working on is very old, gives some strange colours and doesn´t give the whole image :-)

Utrolig flotte bilder, og et utrolig landskap. Må jo være en drøm for en fotograf å oppleve dette.

Dæggern ta! Det er noen som har det ;) Lekre bilder, virkelig. Jeg likte det øverste best, herlig mønster, toner og dybde!

Hi Roy! The colors in the images from Bolivia seem to be just fine at least for us who don't know how they really should look!
I was in the Bolivian salt lakes about 10 years ago and I still think the scenery is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen.
Looking forward seeing more your images from there.
I just came from the foto festival in London and heading in a couple of days to Vårgårda one.
