Big, beautiful times
Really worthwhile to click on the picture to see it full size. Just ignore the artifacts at the horizon from a less than perfect job on the construction of the panorama. Also, there is an interesting comparison to be made between the vistas above on Isla Isabel and below on Bartholomew Island in the Galapagos.

Scout is leading over the dragon, but polls are still open. I could be in trouble now though. [polldaddy poll=6044381]
Iguana War 2012, Round 1
I have challenged M. to an iguana war. I have a lot of good, new iguana pictures, but he has more from the Galapagos. We shall see. Please vote for your favorite. [polldaddy poll=6038430]
To the birds
3 days into a week of travel. ~730 pics so far, although this number is inflated from 2 sunrise time-lapse series. Still, a lot to edit. So far, amazing – the trip not boasting about the pictures. I spent the weekend on the Marine bird protected area and National Park, Isla Isabel. More on this […]
Not a bad way to start
My visit to California is off to a beautiful start. Now, onwards to Bishop! Good thing  I brought the zoom lens back for a visit too.

In what will hopefully become an ongoing gag. I had a great day working with Sarah and others on her solar oven project in a small community in the municipality of Huimilpan. More to come.
We’re climbing where this weekend?

But there’s just no room for you in the top five, sorry.
Monarchs: the rest of the story
Although it is very nice to be back in Switzerland for the holidays, and the mountains are beautiful, I am still amazed as I edit the monarch pictures. Three of us went to one of the monarch winter nesting grounds near Valle de Bravo in central Mexico. We aren’t allowed into the state of Michoacan […]
Monarchs, the teaser
Three of us spent a bit longer than a day in Valle de Bravo in the Estado de Mexico to go see the monarch butterflies in one of their winter homes in Piedra Herrada. Soooo many more pictures to come, but this is one of my favorites. Really no words to describe this experience, but […]
And then they just walked out of here…
I mean, I’ve met some asshole ducks in my time, but the way that these two just waddled in here like they owned the place… (I actually had a really good day on the start of what I hope will be an amazing secondary project. It was just about time I started working blue on […]
