  • Life in Huaráz, below the distant Huandoy summits and the west face of Huascarán Norte (North) 6,664m.  Huaráz lies at an altitude of 3,052 m, approx. 420 km north of Lima.  It sits in the agriculturally important Callejón de Huaylas valley, at the foot of the Cordillera Blanca mountain range, which includes Huascarán, the highest mountain in Peru at 6,768 m.  On May 31, 1970 the Ancash earthquake destroyed much of Huaraz, killing 10,000 people.  Almost nothing was left of the old city with its narrow streets and big adobe casonas roofed with tiles.  The old narrow streets were widened as they had proved to be deathtraps during the earthquake.  Reconstruction of the city is a work in progress.

  • Wave-washed Saint George Reef Lighthouse (12km distant), the only thing not in motion in a gale-lashed Pacific Ocean off the coast of northern California near Crescent City. The light marks the outer extents of a treacherous bank of shoal areas, rocks and breakers, about 3nm wide by 6.5nm out to sea, named "Dragon Rocks" by Sir Francis Drake and now "St George Reef" on current navigation charts. The location for the lighthouse was selected in 1865 after numerous notable losses, but construction was not completed until 1892 due to the obvious logistical and weather challenges. The most expensive lighthouse ever built in the USA. Manned and operated until 1975, when it was replaced by a nearby floating navigation light. The lighthouse was finally abandoned in 1995. Seen here from Point Saint George, in a rare view between fronts in an early winter storm. Very challenging getting any photograph at all in such fierce conditions of salt spray, rain and gale! Del Norte County, California, USA.
