In our village there is a tradition on april 30 set up the maypole at the fairground. It is there all year, but on this day he is newly decorated. He is very high - as you can see, higher than the trees around and so he is visible in the hole village. On the day of the Maypole putting, a big celebration with lantern procession, brass band and a big fire takes place. The village's population meets and celebrates the end of winter. Today it is a stormy day - but our local landmark is deeply rooted in our tradition and in the ground ;-)

Wild burros
As pack animals, they could handle heavy loads for provisions, ore, and equipment needed by the miners. The “wild” burros frequenting the streets of Oatman are direct descendants of the gold miners who set the animals free when the mines shut down.

A project I've been playing with in my head for a while is how to best shoot my local woodland. It's only a small patch and the trees are quite young so it can seem a bit chaotic. However, its full of wildflowers and is well-lit both in the morning and evening so it has real potential for some beautiful shots. I love using my Lensbaby Twist optic to shoot woodland and I think it really works with the complicated compositions I'm going to have to work with at this location. So here is the first image of a hopefully successful project to capture this woodland through the seasons using a single lens.
OMG not in a flea market !!
Came across these strange products at the flea market in Serikin, Sarawak, Borneo. Never came across my mind that people buy and use products like “Gambier or Gambir Sarawak” and animal parts to improve libido ( as claimed by the local and Indonesian sellers) at a flea market. This particular stall specializes in Gambir Sarawak, crocodile penis and home made creams from plants and animals to alleviate premature ejaculation.
Picture of some local transport options in Baracoa. I think the truck is a Diamond T from the around 1950. It was carrying a sunday school class from a local church. Picture taken in 2007
Talkeetna, Alaska
We visited Alaska in June. It's a beautiful state, and I took hundreds of pictures, but I am only posting a few here on Flickr so as not to overwhelm. However, if you would like to see more photos and read about our trip, check out my fourth Alaska blog post Alaska Sojourn: The Snow Clad Mountains to Seward in my blog Batteredsuitcase.net
