Travel photographs

There are lots of things I like about travelling - viewing a wide panorama, spotting rare and interesting wildlife in its natural habitat, or actually getting to gaze at an amazing building you've seen a million times in photographs. But there's nothing quite like reaching the summit of a mountain or crossing over a high pass. In fact, I have a bit of an obsession with it - a trip's not a trip for me unless I get up something big, or have a damn good try at it.

Luckily, I've managed to get up high a few times, and here's a list of my high points, be they summits, passes, or the places I had to turn back.

[Argentina] | [Britain] | [Chile] | [China] | [Egypt] | [Ethiopia] | [France] | [Germany] | [India] | [Ireland] | [Italy] | [Kenya] | [Morocco] | [Nepal] | [Netherlands] | [Pakistan] | [Peru] | [Tanzania] | [Tibet] | [Uganda] | [Venezuela]
