"Through the Gorge" Tami and I ventured through the gorge at Hell's Gate near Naivasha with our Maasai guide, Hampton. Volcanic eruptions followed by centuries of flooding, hot springs and a number of other natural happenings have carved out haunting paths through the lower gorge.

[5] Image of the Week
"Torres del Paine Farewell" The fall colors in April make the Patagonian landscape even more impressive and add to the remote feeling one gets in a place like that.
