Alemendras stone circle ,portugal

                                                 There are only two latitudes in which the Moon's maximum declination is the same as the latitude, meaning that at its maximum elongation it goes through the zenith (directly overhead). These two latitudes are 38˚ 331 N (Almendres), and 51° 10' N (Stonehenge

The Almendras stone circle in portugal situated between lisboa and badajoz is a wicked park up if ever there was one.The circle is in the middle of  nowhere and here can be found a nice quiet park up.I have known people to have stayed there for the whole summer .

Paradise valley Morroco

There is a place is morroco that is known as The paradiae valley,situated in the hills around agadir in the south of morroco. A few years ago i had the good fortune to visit this valley and camp there for five days and nights .The name is no bullshit it is a little piece of paradise.In the valley you will find crystal clear streams running through it deep enough to swim and cool off from the intense sun.The water is so clean you will find turtles there.the valley is full of palm trees where you can find a nice shady camp.Paradise valley is difficult to get to and it is probably best to get a taxi from agadir,it is difficult to get to but well worth it.A real traveller friendly place that was used alot by international hippies in the 60s and 70s.

 sante fe ,andalucia south of spain

Sante fe is my latest cool place this abandoned olive grove in the south of spain is a traveller friendly place where you can find natural hot springs and a great park up,the hot springs are used by many travellers and some local people.It is a free place and often you will find an outdoor party happening Sante fe is located less than ten miles from granada

the last words of timothey leary

In 2006 i met amar bharti in india ,he is an indian sadhu who has held his right arm in the air for about thirty years,as you can see from the photo his nails have begun to grow in spirals downwards and his arm is meerly skin and bone at this point.to be with him and to look in to the eyes of  such a man is a strong experience,what a will he has had in order to conquer the pain for so long and remain with one arm   reaching to the heavens for these years , its supernatural and seems like some kind of magic.
