A new tour Down Under
In January 2011, Marika had had enough of me for a while, so she and Oliver sent Charlie and me down to Queenstown for a long weekend. This was the flight by low-altitude prop plane, over the Southern Alps. https://flic.kr/s/aHsjttfwXT Sign in to see full entry.

A new journey begins
Today I begin taking you on a tour through Bryce Canyon National Park, with geology of the most magnificent kind, and trails to take your breath away--literally, going deep down into the shadows of the spires and pinnacles, and climbing up again by wonderful switchback trails.

The first pictures are up,

It is done!
The file contains over 550 images, and my eyes are feeling very red and teary with overdoing.
