A view of the Cordillera Real from Isla del Sol on Lake Titicaca in Bolivia.

The gps track of a 200-km trek down the length of Bolivia’s Cordillera Real (Royal Range). We came down the west side; the classic route on the east side of the range has seen a big increase in mining activity. https://wp.me/p25mXk-7MH

The remnants of an old bridge used by loggers years ago.

The ultimate in physical distancing! See here for more - https://wp.me/p25mXk-9Jx

Putting on the crampons for the climb up the glacial slopes of Volcan Osorno in the Chilean Lakes District. See https://wp.me/p25mXk-6gy for more info.

6:00 a.m. - heading to the edge of the glacier and the top of Volcan Osorno in the Chilean Lakes District.

A late afternoon shot of Tocllaraju in the Peruvian Andes. The next afternoon we'd be at the high camp, and the following morning, on top of my first 6000m peak!

Tocllaraju High Camp on a sunny afternoon. We'd get up at midnight for the final 800-meter climb to the top. See https://wp.me/p25mXk-c4Q for more details and maps.

Looking south from the dramatic vertical rock face at the north end of Wolf Lake on the Chiniguchi River system. Our tent site for the night was on the island in the center of the image. I had scampered up the rock face to check out a possible pictograph site and got a shot of my brother and the canoe as the early evening sun broke through the clouds.

The Olive Hut above Catamount Glacier in the Purcell Mountain range in British Columbia

a ready supply of water below our tent site not far from North Star Peak in the Purcells in British Columbia.

a view of Cerro Tronador from behind the Otto Meiling Refugio in northern Patagonia - a memorable campsite! See https://wp.me/p25mXk-6nN for the logistics and more trip pix.

I saw this stele at a rest stop/gas station on a Sri Lanka Highway in 2014. I remember thinking - "What a pompous a--hole- and all with Chinese money and workers."

Kathmandu street scene - walking back to Thamel from Durbar Square

the action on Toronto's premier sliding hill off Broadview Avenue. A Leonberger chillin' while his owner chats and keeps an eye on his kids trudging back up the hill after another awesome ride.

Our campsite on the upper French River. Over the five days we paddled down to Georgian Bay, following the 100-km. section of water highway used by the Canadien voyageurs. https://wp.me/p25mXk-8Bq

The Broadview Hill on a summer's evening - a popular spot to catch a cooling breeze and to take in views of downtown at sunset. Down on the flats, games of soccer, frisbee, cricket, baseball, and quidditch are being played.

downtown T.O. from the Leslie Street Spit. For great views of the city, the Spit's perspective ranks right up there with the view from above the Brickworks, Broadview Avenue by the Rooster Coffee House, and the Toronto Islands.
