Feeling Moody – The skies over Hong Kong’s skyline

Hong Kong has a dramatic skyline, day or night. On this morning, the skies looked rough, making Hong Kong appear somewhat moody (or hung over after a fun night?).

Sunrise on the Abbey: Famous Glen Abbey Golf Course with frost on the greens and mist in the air

For all the golf lovers, here is world famous Glenn Abbey golf course at sunrise last year, as the colors were changing. Was a very cool morning with frost on the greens and mist rising from 16 Mile Creek. Taken from the Upper Middle overpass.

Harley Davidson Chrome: Where raw power and stunning form converge

Motorcycles. Harley Davidson Motorcycles. Freedom, raw power, elegance. While a Harley is not in the cards anytime soon, I do love photographing these bikes. They have such a presence in camera, like this one here. Taken at Santa’s Village (of all places – ha!) in Bracebridge, Ontario. Notice the sun sparkling off the air cleaner.

Boogie ’till the sun goes down: Tamarindo Beach Costa Rica boogie boarding at sunset

Tamarindo Beach, Costa Rica, is so far my favorite place to watch a sunset (Even better than world famous Oia, Santorini). After a day of learning to surf, we hung out watching the sun set and this guy use his boogie board.  Took this picture with a little Nikon handheld with 5 megapixels… goes to show being in the right place at right time is sometimes more important than the best gear 😉

Crocodile Rocks! The steadfast eyes of a Belize crocodile staring at you

Ok… the situation is not as intense as it would appear. We are at the Belize Tropical Education Centre for an overnight stay. They care for a number of wild crocodiles in the marsh on-site, and have built a narrow boardwalk as an outlook. Here we watched one evening at sunset – hence the light on the crocs right eye – as a male and female spent time together (not sure what to call this in crocodile language!). Took this shot laying on my stomach, roughly 5 feet above the water and 10 feet away.

Wild Sea Turtle In The Bahamas

Within minutes of anchoring our Fountain Pajot catamaran in the Sea of Abacos, Bahamas, this sea turtle pops up to entertain us. It was extremely healthy as seen by its colors and clarity of the eyes. To see a wild one within 3 feet of you is a definite highlight.

Selfie Mayhem With The Mona Lisa

The scene unfolding in front of the Mona Lisa at The Louvre in Paris… complete mayhem with people attempting to take a selfie with the famous picture. This capture is more entertaining than a photo of ‘her’!  Couple other observations… the Mona Lisa is really small vs. what you would expect, and people would rather have a photo to say they were ‘there’ vs. actually taking in the art.
