Dear Reader (2025-01-27),Today you and I see highlights of my first walk in Patagonia. I loved the walk (Senda Laguna Torre), and it was exciting to be walking in a whole new world. There are only four photos from today’s walk because after the edit … Continue readingPatagonia – El Chalten – 1 Walk
Dear Reader (2015-01-24)Some of you may have noticed that I walked the W Trek (Chilean Patagonia and 5 posts) after walking in Argentine Patagonia, and yet I have only posted about the former.

Dear Reader (2025-01-17),In today’s post you and I walk to a glacier lookout, past an unusable old bridge and over a very serviceable new bridge, and through an area that was ravaged by fire in 2011. My love affair with the trees and mountains of … Continue readingPatagonia – W Trek – Day 3
Dear Reader (2025-01-13),In today’s post you and I walk what would appear from the map to be a relatively moderate walk. Most of the day is spent in sight of Lago Nordernskjöld (a good Argentine name). I and others I meet at the end of … Continue readingPatagonia – W Trek – Day 2

Dear Reader (2025-01-05)In La Boca, down a short alley an accordion player sits in the corner of a small empty stage. This is obviously his livelihood. I ask if I can take his portrait through gestures, and I contribute to the nearly empty hat in … Continue readingBuenos Aires – Portrait
Dear Reader (2025-01-02)As some of you know, I have enjoyed street photography for many years. Most of my street photography is shades of un-shareable drek. But, every once in a while I capture images of which I am proud. 1 – A man with a … Continue readingBuenos Aires – Street Life
Dear Reader (2024-12-31)(Recent Travel Post 03 – Buenos Aires – La Boca) It is a grey day here in Calgary. A light snow is falling and there is no line between sky and ground. What we need is a bit of colour, and so in … Continue readingBuenos Aires – La Boca

Dear Reader (2024-04-19),In this post, you and I wander Tashkent through backstreets and main streets, past a new apartment building that promotes a fantasy from a rooftop screen that can be read from the street, find apartment layouts revealing, travel briefly through the Soviet era … Continue readingFIVE STANS 36 – END OF THIS LINE
