These misty images for Ailsa’s Weekly Travel Theme are from our trek to Machu Picchu in June last year. They seem to be the perfect complement to my submission to this week’s Photo Challenge: Threshold.

The six day trek with Mountain Lodges of Peru along the Salkantay Trail to reach Machu Picchu was filled with moments of great beauty, triumph and exhaustion all experienced each day in the ever-changing magnificent Peruvian landscape seen so hauntingly in these misty mountain scenes and reflections in the turquoise water of Lake Humantay.

If you would like to see more of our journey I invite you to follow our trek day by day by visiting the early posts on my blog last June.  Happy Trekking 🙂

Weekly Photo Challenge: Street Life – Revisiting Vancouver 2010

…As promised, more of the colorful street life in Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, from Sarah McLachlan carrying the Olympic Torch, to street hockey, to drumming on the newspaper boxes, to waiting for the lights to change, and always thousands in the streets celebrating day and night.  Enjoy the ride!
