The word ‘bund’ derives from an Anglo-Indian word for an embankment along a muddy waterfront and that is what the Bund was originally.
When the first British company opened an office at the Bund in 1846, it became the epitome of elegance. Now many attractive new constructions have been erected in addition to the historical buildings.

I shot this at Svinafellsjoküll. Initially I wanted a shot showing the different Ice layers but then I noticed that a group of people were ice climbing in the distance.
The day before I took this shot we hiked up a mountain that was used in the Lord of the Rings as a filming location in the Wanaka region. From the top of the mountain we had a marvellous view on lake Wanaka and specially on Glendhu bay. We saw these trees in the water from the top and we decided that we had to shoot them. It was getting late and the sun was setting over the southern Alps, so we decided to go the next day. We camped in our car and the next morning we drove to where we suspected the trees to be. It turned out to be quiet a challenging way as we had to climb over a couple of electric fences and the terrain was incredibly swampy and wet. Eventually we arrived and we were wet and tired, but I think that it was definitely worth it. It's funny how sometimes you go somewhere and you end up discovering a shot that you couldn't have planed, that has nothing to do with your initial destination.

The thunder rolled through the hills of Mid-Tennessee all afternoon, with the threat of small hail lingering. The Earth was drenched with chilly rain, as the lightning danced above our heads.
And like magic, just minutes before the sun hit the horizon, the edge of the storm allowed the sun to peek under it's blanket, casting her warm light across the soggy landscape.
"Where is the rainbow?!" "...Are we IN the rainbow?!" I could sense it as my eyes ruthlessly scanned the angry gray sky. "There HAS to be a rainbow!"
No sooner, from behind me, I heard my love exclaim, "THERE...IT...IS!"
I turned around to find him pointing East, as the full spectrum of colors slowly began to paint across the sky...
And for just a handful of minutes, all was right in the world. Nothing else mattered. Nothing else existed except for me, my love, and the chorus of songbirds, all reveling in a vibrant display of diamond dust.
These are the moments in this dream that fuel this little soul of mine.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Feelin' mighty grateful, humbled and whole. :)

In "El Cajon del Maipo" we can find several national reserves, one of them is Estero Coyanco, a paid campsite where you can do different activities besides being able to look at the beautiful night sky.
