Tea time at work. This friendly shepherd invited my guide and me to have lunch together, after we hiked/climbed an old traditional mine in the middle of a steep cliff facing the Saharan desert.

Zugspitze from the Höllentalangerhütte way too early in the morning. Unfortunately, our early summer (end of May) attempt at the summit was unsuccessful as the route was still cloaked in high snow. (at Zugspitze Mountain)

And another one... it was definitely time I sieved through my pictures. #people #portrait #girl #lingerie #boudoir #light #dreamy (at Moscow, Russia)

This is Cerro Rico, the mountain that eats men, in Potosí was the prime source for silver in the Spanish Empire. It is still mined today by local cooperatives without any regulation and thus pretty much resembles a swiss cheese with a constant danger of collapsing. Also, mining techniques haven't changed much since the colonial era: drilling holes for dynamite, blasting, hammering the rubble to small pieces and pushing it out in small carts in teams of two to three miners. All this in unventilated, hot and badly reinforced tunnels at 4000 m elevation. Most miners start working in there early teens and many later die of silicosis, cave-ins or suffocate in the tunnels. Entering the mines with a local guide, an ex-miner, was definitely one of the most impressive parts of our trip! #cerrorico #potosi #bolivia #mining #travel #adventure #mine #geology #mountain #silver (at Potosí, Bolivia)

Old stuff rediscovered: Whilst going through old memories I came along this picture, was horrified by my previous editing and redid it. Let's see if I still like it in another 4 years. The picture originates from a trekking holiday with Daniel (@monstercracker) along the SW Coast Path from Bude to Land's End. #nature #water #waves #night #dark #trekking #outdoors #cornwall #uk #sea (at Newquay, Cornwall)

Finally finished editing the pictures from our trip to Bolivia last September/October! :D First pic is from the mighty Huayna Potosí in the Cordillera Real range in the Andes. It was quite an adventure to get there, as there is no public transport going anywhere near the alpine ranges, there are only shitty maps which you have to get from the military and there are no paths connecting the valleys through the passes. #bolivia #adventure #nature #landscape #trekking #travel #outdoors #mountain #cordillera #andes (at Huayna Potosí)
