Winter comes, coats dominate the streets, the leafless trees form a dreary and monotonous landscape. What better opportunity to challenge it with color.
To the north, where days never erase the light in summer and nights are eternal in winter, I found adventure on its pure state, the last frontier of the Gold Rush. Here, the ghosts of the great pioneers glide on the streets of Whitehorse, and the SS Klondike reigns on the edge of the Yukon River, with its elegant wooden silhouette and its large rear wheel as witness of the past.

The moon appeared over the mountain at midnight, as the sun went to his appointment and reddened the horizon. And in the middle of the two, the Takhini River Lodge shone with great charm in the middle of a small meadow surrounded by mountains, near the Takhini River at 45minutes Whitehorse.
Immersed in the pool, and enjoying the sumptuous warmth of the Oaxacan coast, one sinks into a sense of supreme pleasure, enjoying the wonderful view over the beach and San Agustinillo Mazunte.

Chronicle of a discovery at the sea
I’ve always been a follower of dreams and adventures, many times I have spent days at sea looking for the fishing myths and legends, like a cave full of sharks, some old galleons laden with precious jewels and even a German submarine. What I’ve been able to find are beautiful underwater scenery in which very few people have been, as well as spectacular wildlife.
The dream of every fisherman is to catch a marlin, a species considered one of the best jewels and treasures of the sea. Luck is the boss, hence for more than 30 years that dream come true for Bob Robert Bisbee, who began a game among friends with a purse of $ 5,000, and now has passed the baton to new generations leaving a legacy to his sons Wayne and Patricia Bisbee, giving rise to one of the tournaments that has managed to be the largest in the world for its prizes in some years has exceeded $ 4 million.
The year closes, and with it goes memories of dreams fulfilled and hanging pledges. And as in all evolutionary cycle, species give way to new bearing characteristics inherited from a parent or a whole new copy.
