somehow found some time to travel along the coasts of thailand, argentina and chile

a sad moment - had to bid farewell to a pair of flip-flops that had served me well over the past few years

there is a place where a floating town - complete with mosque school and hospital - is anchored to a stately rock rising out of the ocean

 a majestic tree towers above the canopy of the forest, serving as a zip-line platform for adventure seekers to this island

in the middle of the ocean, a small island sits at the tail end of a small sand bar

 sunsets are beautiful and almost spiritual every evening of the week in this blessed place

 speaking of blessings, an extra spicy beef salad goes exceptionally well with a couple of pints of cold beer

muay thai boxers giving everything they to their art - lots of sweat, blood. and pain just for a few fleeting moments of glory

 small boat anchored off the coast on a calm cloudless day

 string lights cast a strange blue glow on the trees in this hotel courtyard

 seafood salad - thai spicy again

 a mother cat anxiously guards her kittens on some steps near a busy tourist thoroughfare

 the train track in the middle of this metropolis is surprisingly quiet and devoid of people at night

an extravagant gaudy cemetery for the most affluent families sits in the heart of this capital of a south american nation

rows and rows of crypts are painstakingly cared for by a small team of cemetery working 


no doubt this is a likeness of the dearly departed immortalized in copper 

commuters near the central bus terminal walking purposely without a trace of emotion

a gate to a gentleman's ranch in the outskirts of town

a horse spies a photographer and poses still for just one picture

commissioned graffiti in Montevideo Uruguay

that one will come up on some mountains if one continues down this road is a distinct probability

there are all types of seas and all types of skies - i had not seen this high cumulus formation before

a large luxury liner patiently docked under a partly cloudy sky

the inexplicable exuberance of a flightless bird running from one point to another

love ?

saw several chinese fishing boats docked for supplies and repairs in these southern ports

snowcapped mountains far yonder - past miles of sea and islands

the amalia glacier on an overcast day - still slowly retreating inlands as our planet warms

another unfamiliar cloud formation in the southern skies
