Lebara Spain

If you visit Spain and get a lebara Spain sim you need to set up two access point names. One is for internet access and the other is for MMS. I only point this out because dozens of sites tell you what the configuration requirements are but non indicate that you are setting up two access points. APN 1: Name: lebara internet APN: gprsmov.lebaramobile.es username: wap apn type: default, supl APN 2: name: lebara MMS APN: mms.

Pico Iyer: The art of stillness

We need to take time to think. We need to avoid external stimuli and spend time with our thoughts. We desire to move and to achieve which drives the economy forward at the cost of forgetting to give ourselves times. The talk explores time and space. It also explores the popular concept of going offline to recharge. In my experience moving from one social network to another has the same impact as taking a social media break but this after 20 years of trial and error.

Village Photography

On Google Plus, one of my muses, I saw that instead of Street photography someone suggested Village photography. I like the idea because villages are such an integral part of my life. Life in villages is a privileged one. Every time we go for a walk we cross people we do not know and say hello. We walk from field to field and along paths. We see which crops have been planted and which ones are being harvested.

First World War Via Ferrata and the tunnels dug by soldiers.

For two years I have been doing research to find as much information as possible on the topic of via ferrata. Visiting the via ferratas which date back to the 1914-18 war would be interesting. In this short video recording we see some of the tunnels dug in to the mountain as well as where soldiers would have slept. Via ferrata is not just a sport to see nice landscapes. Historic exploration is also possible.

Not everyone is happy living in the real world.

An advert for Air New Zealand, Boeing 777-300, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, horse riding, New Zealand’s landscape, the three or four passenger classes and of course bungee jumping.

Django Django - WOR

Django Django - WOR from Jim Demuth on Vimeo. A well told, well edited short documentary about the people who drive the wall of death.

Tuzgle - Full Movie

This is a french language documentary following a group of people who went to Argentina to go bouldering. You see the challenge of finding new routes. The style is original, more like a film in parts and more classic in approach at other moments.

Ferrata Ivano Dibona - WW1-Ruinen erster Steigabschnitt

Austrian and Italian troops fought in the mountains of the Dolomites during the First world War. They used via ferrata to get from one point to another. In this video you see one of the hospitals and the landscape in which these troops fought.

The Longest Way 1.0

The Longest Way 1.0 - walk through China and grow a beard! - TIMELAPSE from Christoph Rehage on Vimeo. The idea of going on a trip that lasts for more than a year is a common one. People go by car, by walking or by foot. In so doing they discover a new side of life that they had not known before. The simpler the mode of transport the cheaper. In this case the traveller produced a timelapse of his hair growing over an extended period.
