Years ago i backpacked traveled through South America, its traveling on a budget. But recently I took a trip to Nicaragua, to learn a little bit about the country. And what I've notices is an epidemic of backpack travelling. Hostels, cities, country buses are all full of tourists traveling on a budget through central-south america. And more and more businesses cater to the travelers. Its not a bad way of traveling but it has changed from my time. Its more of Hostel Party oriented now, and don't get to learn a lot of the local culture and spend time with the locals like it used to be.
Just off Bristol City Centre in one of the side street is this doorway. Now the entrance to a backpackers hostel i would imagine it has played many roles over the years. Find me a photographer who does not love an old doorway !!!

Backpackers along the shoreline of a Sierra Nevada backcountry lake in early morning
We set up a very pleasant camp a ways back from the shoreline of this subalpine lake. Almost all high Sierra camps are pleasant, but this spot was almost luxurious. We were not far from easy access to water, there was a beautiful view from the shoreline, and the campsites themselves were on flat ground among large trees. We even had a few fallen trees and big rocks to use as furniture as we fixed meals and ate together.
In the morning I awoke before sunrise, and I soon got up the energy to climb out of my sleeping bag and put on warm clothes. I crawled out of the tent, grabbed camera equipment, and climbed up onto a knoll from which I had photographed the previous day. From here there was a panoramic view of the surrounding terrain, much of which was still in shadow. Soon a couple of fellow early risers appeared along the shoreline with fishing gear, standing on shoreline rocks and adding a human scale to this scene.

I was camping at a lake all last week and while it wasn’t a backpacking trip, we were out in the wilderness just far enough to have spotty to nearly non-existent cell coverage so it really felt like we were roughing it by engaging in face-to-face communication with other humans! 😆
I took a few versions of this photo one evening and couldn’t decide which one I would post. I asked several of my fellow campers which if the three they preferred and most came up with this first image. None picked my favorite.
Check out all thedifferent versions and let me know which is your favorite.
