Fish Forever

My good friend, Max Ammer, came by for a visit today. He is the owner and operator of Papua Divers in Raja Ampat...the ultimate dive destination where most of my underwater photos come from. In his honor, I went through some of my old photos from Raja Ampat, and found this beauty...I remember thinking when I took this shot, it was like "fish forever"...

Skywatch Friday - Another Sunrise at Angkor Wat

Happy Friday, Everyone....wow, this week flew by...

My Skywatch photo this week is from Angkor Wat in Cambodia. I had a similar photo awhile back, but the one below is from a different morning, and I like the sky better...

Be sure to visit as many other sites as you can....click here to take you to the main skywatch friday website...

A Head of Hair

These guys have hair....I do not. The guy in the red hat has hair just as long as the other dude, but it was wrapped up in that hat...

Don't Try This At Home

Diving in Tulamben, in North East Bali, there is a long walk down the beach over hot black rocks to get to the liberty wreck just off-shore. These ladies will carry your scuba gear and weight belts to the entry point for less than a buck.

...and I complain when I have to carry my camera and fins...

Surfing

Sorry for the late entry...I guess you can say I went surfing...

Actually, I went to the Indonesia vs. Singapore soccer game last night. Indonesia has made it to the semi-finals even though they lost last night to Singapore 2-0. It was a very cool experience being there with the loud crowd, and we bought funny red and white hats, and one of us was interviewed on Indonesian TV...it was fun.

A Cabin in the Swiss Alps

At every corner when traveling through Switzerland, you expect to see Julie Andrews come strolling over a hill singing the Sound of Music...

Climbing Dunes in the Gobi Desert

We traveled for hundreds of miles looking for the dunes of the Gobi...

We found them...

Skywatch Friday - Sunset at Alona Beach

Happy Friday!!

My skywatch shot today is from Alona Beach in the Philippines...one of my favorite places.

Be sure to visit other skywatch sites from around the world HERE...

An Ancient Hallway Bathed in Afternoon Light

You gotta wonder...who walked down this hallway a thousand years ago?

A Boy and His Sheep

The question we would always ask each other when traveling through Mongolia was, "Where do you think they are going?"

There is so much wide open space, we would run into kids only 10 or 11 years old hundreds of miles away from any known structure they could call home...where were they going? How do they know where they are?

Angkor Wat

I took this photo back when there were not too many tourists in Cambodia...in fact, I was one of only maybe three or four people on the grounds of Angkor Wat when I took this photo. I returned to Angkor Wat two years ago, and there were about 400 people there to watch the sunrise...I am happy that Cambodia is getting more tourists dollars, but not happy about the crowds...oh well...

Peeping at the White People

In Mongolia, everywhere is the middle of nowhere. I think it is about as remote as you can get with exception of the arctic. Our Russian jeep stopped at this little outpost, and at first, I thought it was completely deserted, but then these two girls popped their faces into these two small windows for just a second. They were very shy, and I am not sure if they had ever seen white faces before...
