Sunshine photos

 Looking back at some old photos from our big trip on a particularly miserable day last week, some of these photos cheered me up, sunshine and motorbikes, what else do you need? Funny enough George Martin send me some photos of sunny days gone by, great minds think alike.... Its great to escape the harbringers of doom and our totalitarian masters as they flex their imaginary muscles again. Motorbikes and the open road, looking for adventure (almost a song there) and free of the bullshit of todays world! So I make no apology for posting these pictures of our ride through the Atacama desert in Chile, the driest desert in the world (except when we arrived) remember it is only a week before the days turn and we start getting longer daylight, soon be Spring, keep smiling my friends

Camping at Bahia Inglese

In Scotland a shelter is to hide from the rain, here its to hide from the sun

Lunar Landscape

Campsite at Antofagasta, so good we stopped 3 days

Bikes were a bit muddy

Travelling up the coast road

You can just see the ribbon of tarmac (covered in sand) snaking through the desert

Vast landscapes

Vast stomach

My favourite picture

Why? because somebody thought it a good idea

Fiona, a spec in the distance looking for a bush to hide behind

Water rest (needed often)

Salt flats at San Pedro Di Atacama

Wonderful to see wildlife in this harsh environment

In Flight

Feeding time

Looks like I need a haircut time

And the driest place on Earth flooded, just to make us feel at home 

Mud streets turned to mud

And part of the road as well
