Lookingup: The Lost City

http://photographybylindawright.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-lost-city.html

Photography by Linda Wright. What an amazing place! Machu Picchu was built by the Incas in the 1400s about 80 years before the Spaniards plundered Cusco, the Inca capital, in 1533. It is thought it was built for the great Inca Pachacuti,. Inaccessibility meant that it was visited very little during the first half of the 20th century. However,. Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historical Sanctuary in 1981 and a. In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the. New Seven Wonders of the World.

MV Meccanica Verghera: August 2013

http://blackeagleracingteam.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 15, 2013. Donington Park Classic Bike Festival 9-11th August. The team arrived at the circuit early Friday, weather good, warm with a dry racetrack. We had taken three Grand Prix bikes, two of which had rebuilt engines. This was how the first 420CC MV was concieved by the legendary MV Agusta team leader Arturo Magni, over a weekend in a grand prix paddock, so it can be said the bike is in a true MV spirit. 1st session Mark on the Gilera, Brian the 420MV and Mitch the 500 MV. All did ...

Lookingup: Morning mist

http://photographybylindawright.blogspot.com/2014/06/morning-mist.html

Photography by Linda Wright. The day we arrived at Machu Picchu was very wet. Although we were at altitude, we were close enough to the Equator for the temperature to be like an English summer's day. This turns the landscape into cloud forest and explains why the Inca Trail is festooned with lichens and decorated with begonias and orchids, all pollinated by hummingbirds. Very unlike an English summer unless you're in a garden centre. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blah about life and photography by.

Lookingup: A Fuji X Pro 1 Abroad

http://photographybylindawright.blogspot.com/2014/05/a-year-ago-i-was-invited-to-go-on.html

Photography by Linda Wright. A Fuji X Pro 1 Abroad. By far the hardest decision was which camera to take. I wanted to carry a full frame Canon but it was too heavy, even for the Kymin training walks, so I settled on a Fuji X Pro1. It's a compact system camera, really tricky to hold and fiddly to operate (. In my opinion), n. The day after we arrived, we took a dawn flight across the Andes to Puno. I unpacked the Fuji, climbed over friends to get to a window, and saw this first view of snow in April.

Lookingup: WIN WIN

http://photographybylindawright.blogspot.com/2014/07/win-win.html

Photography by Linda Wright. This year, Monmouthshire County Council, along with several other councils, has planted wildflower verges along several roads and traffic islands. Apparently, it saves mowing, it enhances the environment for residents and perhaps most importantly, provides luscious feeding grounds for insects. The bees needed no signposts to find them! A couple of them consisted of poppies only, providing the most glorious spectacle as the dense planting created an intense swathe of colour.

Lookingup

http://photographybylindawright.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-older-you-get-more-people-you-know.html

Photography by Linda Wright. I also hadn't reckoned on the five hour time gap, so despite my early efforts, we probably never got to do this simple thing together. However, I never forgot the pact, although did lose touch with my friend - and that was only one of the many regrets I had on leaving Canada. It is a truly beautiful country. However, when I put this pic on Facebook, a friend in Arizona said she saw it too - so the notion of looking skywards still works! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
