Jus Chillin

Karajiya

Boating

We built a raft out of sugar cane...

We crucified Sean...

...and gave him to the river.

It turns out sugar cane is HEAVY. Kids, do not make you rafts out of sugar cane, you will be disappointed.

Its easy to get carried away with machetes.

I was born in a tire. Sheer grace.

A donkey, get over it.

That's better

Lima

Who lives in a house like this?

You don´t believe?? Will you believe when I rip out your heart?!

- Spanish strong arm conversion tactics

Cuzco

Sacsayhuamán

One of these stones has a lot of corners and people seem to get very excited about it

Weeee

Also, weeee

Pisaq

Machu Picchu

Could have sworn I left that phillips head screw driver round here somewhere

It will be 3 days before he hunts again

"Would you care for some of this candy?"

Parque Lauca, and on the way

Shadow Frolics

Pelicans, llamas and mini tornado things!

Massive Attack, this is gonna cost you.

My finest and last ever model shoot

Oh yes, a sparrow hawk, how wonderful!

Who´s bad

Valparaiso

Puerta Montt

Chiloe: Ancud

Castro

Chilóe National Park

I stalked these little fuckers for about half an hour round these marshes. Was sure I´d encountered some interesting rare species. I named them, "Quack Quacks", for the curious noise they made whenever they sensed my presence.

Returning from the island days later, pleased with my contribution to world ecological studies, I was surprised to see my very own Quack Quacks in the car park of Chile´s equivalent to BNQ.

Castro, again

View of Mt. Ossorno

Saltas de Petrohúe

The Navimag Ferry:

Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales; mmmm Fjords

Q Class: Traveling in style

"Haha, wind is fun"

Glaciar Pio XI

Attempt to document peculiar static properties of my hair under glacial conditions

This was the moment that we struck an "evil fjord". This is a rogue fjord that disassociates itself from the "stable" or "happy" fjords, and maraudes the fjordal waters looking for shrimp and wrecking large vessels. I had just enough time for one last snappy snap before the ship was swallowed by the icy waters.

But then we all got better and there was a lovely rainbow.

Torres de Paine

ARGENTINA:

Tierra Del Fuego

Thats the Beagle Channel down there that is. Go on Darwin my son!

This bit did indeed feel like the end of the world - my fingers were freezing and it really hurt!

Walk to Refugio Frey (near Bariloche)

Old flame

Classic pig in a goal shot

Madidi: Las Pampas

Rain was unpopular.

Spot the croc! (Aligator)

All friends here.

Monkey in a tree.

Help! This oar is too rambunctuous! I can`t hold it anymore!

Fortunately there was a passing helicopter to fall from. But it was no use. A backwards flip into the water seemed our only hope.

Weee!

All worked out nicely in the end.

La Paz

Mina Potosi:
At 4000m, once biggest silver mine on earth in which Spanish forced indigenous people to work up to 6 months underground without daylight. Conditions still poor but workers now control their hours and share earnings in cooperatives.

Simon shared a common vernacular with the locals.

Train Cementary

Salar de Uyuni

Wish I`d bought that Twix.

Ready Salted or Prawn Cocktail?

Our entry for the Chums 2012 calendar.

A mean look for a mean look.

Altiplano

Arbol de Piedra

Animal like a rabit but with a long tail. Probably the first of its kind recorded on film.

Geyser

My foot will not look as old as this when I`m dead.

ARGENTINA AGAIN:
Mendoza

Think this was some sort of mafia money laundering enterprise. They were very unhappy about me taking a photo and were unconvinced by my explanation that if you`re English, this is a humourous choice of company name.

Lovely monument to San Martin.

La Finca Rosendo

Making Wine

Pick grapes then mash em up and pull of vine with help of feet.

Alternatively, use a machine to separate grapes from vine. Either way, hands necessary to pick out remaining stalks, bugs, spiders etc. Then store in barrel until yeast in the skin (God clearly ment us to make wine) consumes the sugar, converting it into alcohol (and CO2...). Industrial production uses selected yeasts for more controled production.

Then press the grape skins left in the barrel to extract the remaining juice (which is already a very young wine by this point). To make a rose, the grapes are taken to the press straight after milling (removal of stalks etc) so as not to taken on too much colour from the skins.

Hard work.

Syrah

A pose so good it was worth repeating infront of a pickup.

Ferocious Storm

Criolla (good eaters)

Sky was frequently the same colour as the Syrah grapes. Well, it seemed to me anyway.

My nemesis.

Irritatble Cockrel that new neither fear nor mercy. Constantly picking unprovocated (to begin with..) fights with me. Walked round the farm like he owned it but belieing an insecurity at being hopeless in situations with hens, often preferring the less judgemental passivity of a smeary plastic bottle.
