copper canyon - the best picts are from disavadero where the train only stops for 20 minutes. It blows the other views from the train away.

Sind echt toll!!
Ich finde die Bilder sind richtig klasse geworden. Könntest noch mehr in Urlaub fahren, wenn du solche Bilder machst. Ein klein bisschen mehr Kommentar könnte schon dabei sein. Zum selber fühlen, wie heiss war es? Wie erträglich war es? Brauch doch was zum mitfühlen, wenn ich schon nicht dort sein kann.

hi, Cora.

Die Bilder sind, wie immer, "supi".
