Ecuador Andes

The alpaca are standing like statues.

The alpaca are standing like statues.

Oh what a beautiful morning.

In the Ecuador Andes.

Moray, Peru

Peru isn’t all about ruins in the Andes, and lines drawn in the desert. There is also the concentric farm in Moray.

Ollantaytambo

No, it’s not Machu Picchu, but it is in Peru, the village of Ollantaytambo perhaps resembles what Machu Picchu would be like now if it weren’t abandoned all those years ago.

Clay skyscrapers

Skyscrapers were first built during the growth of American cities such as New York and Chicago in the late 1800s and the early 1900s.

Or were they?

Shibam in Yemen built multistory clay edifices a thousand years ago.

Not a sunset

It could almost be a sunset, but it is something much more sinister and unnerving, a forest fire in California, USA.

Modern City

No, it’s not Yokohama, Japan, and it’s certainly not Dubai, but it is in Asia. The capital city of Kazahkstan, Astana, looks like some futuristic model, but it’s for real.

German sunset

Of course sunsets happen everywhere, but Sylt in Germany gets a cracker.

Lightning strikes thrice

Three bolts of lightning simultaneously strike Guangdong, China, lighting up the night sky.
