We have grown, but we are still a small team and we really care about each and every customer. Travel is our passion, and we want to share that with you. Each of us has travelled widely in our destinations (and beyond), so if one of us happens not to have been to a particular place we offer, the chances are that someone else on our team will have been there, probably several times. 06 When you are deciding where to go for your next holiday you’ll want to turn to someone who really knows the area you’d like to visit.

Sarmiento* Honors Program and Department of Geography, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, 30602, USA E-mail: <[email protected] >, *< [email protected]> KEYWORDS Sacred Sites. Indigenous Conservation. Intangibles. Otavalo. Ecuador. Andes ABSTRACT Indigenous communities around the world face pressures from ecotourism practices and conservation. Otavalo, Ecuador, is an example of how local spiritual values can add to the conservation efforts of ecotourism. The Imbakucha watershed includes mountain landscapes with natural and cultural values of numerous indigenous communities where most residents associate their livelihood with iconic, sacred, natural features. Because this region has been conserved with a vibrant artisan economy, it is a well-known cultural landscape in Latin America, and therefore, the increased pressure of globalization affects its preservation as it undergoes a shift from traditional towards contemporary ecotourism practices. We investigate the relationship between the indigenous people and their intangible spiritual environment by local understanding of identity and cultural values, using ethnographic and qualitative research to analyze the influence of spirituality on environmental actions and intersections that reify the native sacred translated into Christianity, to define synchronisms of modernity and the ancestral influence on the Andean culture in the Kichwa Otavalo living in the valley. This study concludes that there is an outlook among indigenous leaders, politicians, researchers, and scholars that a stronger influence of environmental ideals and ecofriendly lifestyles should and can be instilled into the livelihood that exists in indigenous communities to favor sacred sites conservation with development.

  • After the Norwich School
    After the Norwich School This book takes, as its starting point, sites that feature in paintings, or prints, made by Norwich School artists. For each site I have photographed a contemporary landscape scene. My aim was not to try to replicate the scene painted in the 1800s, but simply to use that as the point where I would take the photograph, thus producing a picture of Norwich today. IMPORTANT This ebook has been produced as part of my studies with OCA for the landscape photography module of my Creative Arts degree course. It is not set to be published, but simply to allow my tutors, assessors and fellow students to see, judge and comment on my work.

His works are predominantly head and shoulder portraits, often against a monochrome background. The viewer is drawn towards the sitter’s face by light accents revealed by clothing. After his initial training, Mierevelt quickly turned to portraiture. He gained success in this medium, becoming official painter of the court and gaining many commissions from the wealthy citizens of Delft, other Dutch nobles and visiting foreign dignitaries. His portraits display his characteristic dry manner of painting, evident in this work where the pigment has been applied without much oil. The elaborate lace collar and slashed doublet are reminiscent of clothes that appear in Frans Hals's work of the same period.
