High Atlas Mountains, Morocco Goats along the trail… Impromptu singing and clapping broke out when my guide passed friends outside a little shop… There are very few roads and most of the villagers think nothing of walking an hour to and from work each day. A yummy Moroccan lunch, high up in the mountains, in […]

  • Rod Bilz - I visited Morocco in the High Atlas mountains and trekked through many of the villages in the Imlil area and your photos capture the spirit of this area exactly as I remember it. Amazingly diverse country and some of the friendliest people I have ever met.I have a photo of an impromptu lunch in one of the mountain villages. One of the guys in our group happened to know somebody in the village and we sat on carpets under the shade of big walnut tree in their back yard while the women used the food we brought and added some of their own to prepare a delicious lunch for everyone. Great experience!!!!

  • Kim - Hi Rod, sounds like we had similar experiences! It is a beautiful place to explore with wonderful hiking. I found the people in the High Atlas to be some of the friendliest in the country, and enjoyed visiting some inside their home to learn about their culture.

  • vinod - Nice shots, keep up good work

  • Michael Peyron - Great shots, well done! However, I think if you return between November and May you will be able to exploit to the full the magnificent light you get at that time. Makes a big difference.
    Meanwhile, visit me on my website (www.michaelpeyron.unblog.fr) for a full coverage(texts, maps & pics) on the Atlas ranges.
    Best,

  • Yada - Are these shots from the village of Amil??

  • admin - No, but is was within a day’s walk from Imlil.

Slowly but steadily, great gusts of wind and shifting dunes are changing the landscape and swallowing the once thriving diamond mining town of Kolmanskop.  It is one of my favorite places to wander in Namibia. You never know what you’ll see inside! Sand fills and shapes each structure differently, creating distinct personalities among the homes […]

  • chris dade - Hi I am a photograher from Engalnd and I love youur photographs, thank you for sharing them. I was just wondering if you could advise me of the best way of getting to photograph Kolmanskop as it is a dream of mine to go there, although I am on a real buudjet! Any advice would be much appreciated. Kind regards Chris Dade

  • admin - It was a dream for me too! You can take a flight or bus (very, very long ride) from the capitol city Windhoek to Luderitz, which is located at the southern point of the country on the coast. There are several budget hotels or hostels in Luderitz to stay. Permits for Kolmanskop must be picked up in person at the office in Luderitz, and since you’re a photographer you’ll want to purchase a special photography permit that allows you access from sunrise to sunset. There is no public transport to the ghost town unless you take the 9:30am or 1pm bus group tour, so you’ll have to arrange for private transfer by taxi (around 30 min I think?) There is a lovely cafe on site with great sandwiches, salads and yummy pie!! I recommend staying all day. I did, and still didn’t see it all…It’s a fantastic place, and really worthwhile to make the effort to get there. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Last month I was in NYC for a few days, and took the opportunity to visit both the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. From Manhattan, that required a subway, bus and then a ferry… Ellis Island in the background Although my visit was very short (as I had a plane to catch home that […]
