Some little sheds

Here are some buildings/ structures that are dotted around the Andes on the route from Mendoza in Argentina to Santiago de Chile. Again, due to uploading difficulties i have to just put on the ones that seem to work! (will amend post when i get to a better computer!!)

South American Landscapes

I really wanted to include some photographs of the landscapes i have encountered so far on this trip. After arriving to the lush mountainous landscape of Southern Brazil (not unlike Scotland in parts) to the vast flat planes of North- Eastern Argentina, to the staggering peaks of the Andes- i have just been astounded by the beauty and diversity of this continent..... and i´m not even part way through yet!!


Above: Landscape of Rio and South.... lush and mountainous

Above: The flat planes of Argentina where guacho culture is still alive and kicking

Above: The vineyards of Mendoza with spectacular backdrop of the Andes



Above: The journey from Mendoza to Santiago de Chile took us through the Andes

Above: And then to the lonely unforgiving planes of the Atacama Desert

Graffiti, Buenos Aires

Some street art out and about in Buenos Aries.



Bikes of Buenos Aires

Here's a taster of the bikes of Buenos Aires. They all ride around on these single speed beauties with old skool handlebars. Very cool.
