Kirkjufellsfoss in Iceland
I have just returned from a great trip to Iceland and experienced very different weather conditions during the week. Everything from snow, heavy wind, calm weather, drifting snow and showers of rain and snow – sunlight was very sparse, but that’s Iceland and it’s great.
Constantly wiping the lens clean of small water drops I got this shot of Kirkjufellsfoss on one of the better mornings. This place is located at Grundarfjoerdur on the peninsula of Snaefellsnes.
Sadhus at Pashupatinath
I think everybody visiting Nepal will return with one or more shots of Sadhus which are holy men searching for liberation.This particular Sadhu was shot at the temple Pashupatinath in Kathmandu and note that his face is unpainted. At this holy site for the Hindus cremation is done at funeral pyres at the river.
Paragliding in Pokhara
Paragliding from Sarangkot above Pokhara in Nepal was great fun. If you don’t have your own license for gliding it’s easy to arrange a tandem flight in Pokhara.
Once agreed you will in a jeep drive to Sarangkot located at around 1600m, the pilot will briefly instruct you and then it’s time to run down the steep slope for final take off and you are in the air.
If you visit Pokhara I can definitely recommend a flight, it’s a great experience. If you are interested in paragliding I suggest you investigate the possibilities in your own area and region.
