Most of the animals are tied, even in the fields
Sister mountains, Quilotoa loop
An everyday occurence in Ecuador. A large pipe was being laid in the middle of the day - it took an hour and a half to clear the road
I stayed in a wonderful place which is dedicated to sustainable living and conservation - this is one of their notices, all designed to inform and educate
You´re always aware of the Andes in Quito - even on an ordinary day, the weather can change dramatically in seconds
Even though the day was warm down in the city, the temporature dropped considerably up at the panacilla
She was designed in France and sent over in pieces. La Virgen guards over the city, and there is a panoramic view from her feet.
And composting toilets can be beautiful, restful places! The ´grey´water from the hand basin is used to water the herbs and flowers in the sunny room
All the toilets at the Black Sheep Inn are composting toilets
They have contributed inestimably to the village and its surrounding area, educating and inspiring as well as providing water and solar powered electricity
The owners of the Black Sheep Inn, Michelle and Andrees, are hugely respected and admired in the community
Everything is constructed from local sustainable materials, in the traditional way
This baby mule, offspring of horse mother and burro father, was only one day old
I went on a 5 hour horse ride, into the cloud forest above Chugchilan.
'Estrello' (hmmm) was like a supermarket trolley with a wonky wheel - he could go left or right, but never straight ahead
This is a fantastic book about toilets and their development through the ages. Every loo should have one..
There's literature of great interest in every bathroom
One of the composting toilets at the BSI
The Quilotoa loop stretches away into the distance.
Every room in the main house is a delight.
