Lake Kerkini Pelicans
Posted on 30/1/25
Lake Kerkini is home to a large colony of Dalmatian Pelicans (around 800 in the winter months). They follow the boats closely for the occasional fish thrown to them. Of the 2000 or so images taken during the first morning (smoking CF Express cards for all of us), these are the ones I enjoyed taking the most.
Its also worth looking out for the fantastic “hair styles" the pelicans have and also the quite intimidating stare they give you if the fish flow pauses too long for them.

Day 14: Sacred Dances in the Rain - A Final Bhutanese Blessing
The pre-dawn darkness of our last full day in Bhutan found us preparing to leave Paro, our destination a traditional festival in Choekor winding along the AH-48 road through the mountains. As our bus climbed into the highlands, the heavens opened, draping the landscape in sheets of rain that would become our constant companion for the journey.

Bhutan - Day 13 - Haa Festival - Sacred Dances in the Rain
The journey from Paro to Haa Valley proved to be one of our most dramatic drives yet. Climbing to 3,998 meters at the Chele La Pass, we crossed into a different world before descending for 1.5 hours into the remote Haa Valley. The landscape unfolded beneath us, watched over by the imposing Meri Puensum—three sacred hills that dominate every view in the valley.

Day 12: The Tiger's Nest – A Pilgrimage to Bhutan's Most Sacred Site
The alarm went off early today, but there was no reluctance in getting up. This was the day I'd been anticipating since we first started planning this trip: the hike to Paro Taktsang, the Tiger's Nest Monastery, Bhutan's most iconic landmark and one of its most sacred Buddhist sites.
