Out of The Clouds - Atigun Pass

We spent an hour riding into and out of the thick cloud base that blanketed Alaska's Atigun Pass. This image is one of my favourites.

Valle de La Luna - Chile

This was our first ride into the Valle de La Lune (Valley Of The Moon) in northern Chile in the Atacama Desert. It what I imagine riding on Mars might be like. We'd did get absurdly lucky with the moon being visible as well.

The Himalaya View - Nepal

We'd pitch ed out tent just out fo the camera frame and spent two weeks camped in this spot, high above the town of Pokhara Nepal. On this morning we'd just climbed out fo our sleeping bags to be met with this spectacular clear view of the Annapurna Hymalaya.

The Mountain Wall - Tajikistan

We'd made an early start but two hours after setting off we were already struggling with the altitudes thin air and freezing temperatures. This was a landscape that made us both feel utterly insignificant and yet was also utterly inspiring. This shot taken by Lisa conveys the overwhelming scale of the silk route and the Tajik geography.

Kyrgyzstan Sunset - Kyrgyzstan

Somehow pastel sunset are just more dramatic along the Silk Route, than anywhere else on the planet. This was the perfect reward after a long, tough day's ride.

Volcano Riding - Indonesia

When the lights is this good who doesn't want to go ride inside a live volcano...right?

The Steepe Storm - Central Mongolia

In central Mongolia, as we head south we stopped for a quick photo, knowing full well that we were not going to be able to outrun the massive thunderstorm that had rolled in. I have to admit I love the dramatic light in this shot.

Laguna hedionda

At 6:30 am on a freezing morning in Bolivia's Altiplano (the second highest plateau in the world) we sat on our bike at above 16,000 feet in front of Laguna Hedionda. We were wearing every layer we had to fight the cold, and we could barely move. It took 20 attempts to get this shot, as I only had 10 seconds to press the camera shutter and waddle to my bike, throw my leg over and sit on the bike. This was our 20th go at it. Totally worth it!

Altai Sunset - Mongolia

Even with a freezing storm coming in from the north, we had to stop and grab this image as our route ahead is lit in orange with the setting sun.

The Gobi - Mongolia

Surviving the Gobi in Southern Mongolia was a privilege

Laguna Sunset - Bolivia

An incredible sunset at the end of a very long,hard day in the Bolivian Altiplano. The air gets thin above 16,000ft but the light is worth it.

Milky Way Trio - USA

The City Of Rock in New Mexico is one of the most dramatic night time spots we've camped out. Outstanding!

Into The Light

In Tajikistan on the Silk Route, Lisa rode this piece of road, several times before I was able to get the camera settings anywhere close to capturing the drama and intense and formidable light of this shot. She wasn't happy! This was at altitude and running low on fuel. But totally worth it I think!

Blazing Plains - Mongolia

the hazy colours of this shot really capture the diffused light and dust that we rode through most days as we navigated Mongolia. We'll head back and ride it again one day! If you haven't visited this incredible country, put it on your bucket list,

The Sleeping Giant - Indonesia

The smokey dark scene created by this rumbling volcano was just too good a backdrop to pass up. With Lisa sitting in the foreground you get a sense of scale. The photo doesn't do justice to the incredible heat, humidity and smell of sulphur in the air :-)

The Three Amigos - USA

We'd camped under the stars in the City Of Rocks National Park, where the Milky Way made for a perfect backdrop to photograph the three bikes that had taken us across the USA and back.
