Epupa Falls. NAMIBIA

The Epupa Falls are created by the Kunene River on the border of Angola and Namibia, in the Kaokoland area of the Kunene Region. The name "Epupa" is a Herero word for "foam", in reference to the foam created by the falling water. There’s a famous camping site just by the falls where we stayed a few days on summer 2011. Photos 6 and 7 by MC Soler.

Djeema El Fna Square, Marrakech. MOROCCO

Djeema El Fna is a square and a market place in Marrakesh’s medina quarter. Crowded by the most different people; locals, tourists, and of course some snake charmers; the place holds the most amazing combination of tradition, chaos and fascination. Old photo from 1992.

Gorges du Verdon. FRANCE

The Verdon Gorge is a beautiful river canyon located in the south-eastern France. His name comes from the startling turquoise-green color of its water, one of the canyon’s most distinguishing characteristics. Among all the hiking trails that are available, the most famous is probably the Sentier Martel, that we took in early 2010.

Kunene River. ANGOLA





No I haven’t been in the agitated country of Angola … well, technically yes. We took a rafting trip on the Kunene River and stop for a while on some islands that are Angolan territory (First and last photo). The rest of the photos are landscapes of the Angolan side of the river, seen from the Namibian side. Summer 2011.
