One of the most amazing places I have ever visited, I melted the soles off my hiking boots. This Volcano is a great example of what I love about Guatemala, there is no guard rail, no rules about how close you are allowed to get, if you get burned, it is all on you.

A few fun frames from a art auction fund raiser event for Las Manos de Christine a few days ago in Antigua. Click on the link to find out more and how to help. The art will be available for viewing in the gallery at Meson Panza Verde through to the 28th of October.
Laguna Chicabal

A few weeks ago I look a hike outside Xela, where we visited the sacred Mayan site of Laguna Chicabal. It’s a it sits within the crater of a dormant volcano surrounded by a mystical cloud forest which refers to the thick fog that came rolling in out of nowhere. There is a steep stairway down to the lake’s shore. Religious ceremonies are still performed along its shores.

These are from a few weeks ago at a fund raiser for El Nahual. I have no idea how much money they brought in, but I think it was a huge success.

Took a boat trip to cañón del Sumidero, which is about 60 km from where I am staying San Cristóbal de Las Casas in Mexico. Needless to say, an 85mm lens is less than ideal for wildlife photography.
