Lake Titicaca's water levels falling to historic lows. It's worrying to see the impact of climate change on our planet's natural wonders. We need to take action to protect our environment before it's too late. #ClimateChange #LakeTiticaca

This portrait of a community elder on the small island of #Taquile on the Peruvian side of #LakeTiticaca, is probably one of my all-time favourite frames.

Taquileans are known for their world-class handicraft traditions. The men of the island are exclusively responsible for the knitted crafts - a skill they pick up at age 8.

This gentleman, upon request, was happy for me to take his picture while he sat in a village square in traditional clothing expertly working on his next knitted masterpiece.

I really loved visiting Lake Titicaca in Peru. The lake itself was stunning: vast and calm.

And Lake Titicaca’s islands are like little gems of preserved cultures dotted around the deep blue water.
