The fast moving clouds danced around the foothills of the sacred mountain Illimani illuminating a majestic waterfall and a high altitude shelter hardly visible at the top of the waterfall.

'Returning to La Paz' is an hommage to Javier Molina's birth place. After living in the USA for a number of years the Bolivian photographer returned to La Paz in the early 1970s. Living abroad gave him a perspective that allowed him to see the city with new eyes. All images with either Fujifilm, Kodak or Ilford film

My fascination for decay and stability:two contradictory forces at play, as well as dark and light...

Although there are now many other cemeteries around the city of La Paz, Cementerio Central is the iconic place open to all and there seems to be a space for everyone in spite of the passage of time.

Looking through past images that I had not consider positively, find that there was something in them: this is one of them. Looking down towards the valley below the Pilgrims Way, on the North Downs.

Visiting Valencia at the beginning of the month found The City of Arts Sciences a voyage in time. Santiago Calatrava was in fact born in Valencia.

Inevitably it is necessary to give a historical perspective of this yearly festival that takes place in the city of La Paz, Bolivia. The celebration transforms and stimulates the social life of La Paz every year, emanating from a particular way of understanding and living Andean Catholicism. The Parade begins with a procession through the western part of the city. This procession is central to the event, involving 40,000 devotees who dance and sing in an offering to the patron saint. The dance has a sacred significance for the sixty-nine fraternities involved, which are greeted in the streets in a euphoric atmosphere where the music of 7,000 musicians resonates. It is so owe inspiring that it is rightfully a UNESCO Wold Heritage event (Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity). The image venerated with dance and music is believed to have arrived in the city at the founding of the convent of the Mothers of the Sacred Conception on the 8th of December 1663.
