Islas Ballestas. PERU






Also called “The Galapagos of the poor”, those islands are the home for thousands of seagulls and cormorants. Seals, pelicans and penguins abound as well. The photos don’t reflect the incredible noise and movement that takes place right over your head when you take a boat trip around the islands. Photos from Summer 2009.

Siena, ITALY







In spite that the city is overcrowded with tourists in August, the charm of its central square and medieval streets is undeniable. We were there the day after the Palio horse race was held, and visited the house of the winning team, where the winning horse was on parade (see photo 4)
