Photo Diary: Huacachina, an oasis town just outside Ica, Peru

Huacachina Oasis 006 (640x427)

Pedalos and rowboats sparsely populate this dinky oasis, whilst the palm trees provide some welcome cover from the 30° above.

The desert provides fascinating light in which to capture, as well as shaping itself with incredible lines and tones.

The long legs of Lighty.

Sandboarding! 046 (640x427)

Again, more examples of nature in her role as the ultimate sculptress.

A moment of contemplation.  It was my first time in a desert.

Our ride across the dunes.  2 hours of driving and sand boarding down 100m dunes ensued…

Sandboarding! 050 (640x287)

After two months of living at the altitude in the cold altiplanos of Bolivia and Peru, the sun and sand are very welcome as our new travel companions.
