Travelling through Iceland – 2012 – Neskaupstadur – Akureyri

The journey out of Neskaupstadur was looking grim with very low cloud. My view was gone by morning.

Russia – The Ponoi River – Ryabaga Camp – Filming, Photographing and Reflecting

It was a struggle to get news out from Ryabaga Camp last week because the internet was suffering. But, towards the end of the week, it was working much better and the promise of internet is now fulfilled. Alan Maughan and I were there to build on the success of the film made at Ryabaga last year.
