Lost Jungle

Lost Jungle

December 2007 – Barbados

This was taken into what some people thought was a “lost jungle”, this is a place where a huge cave collapsed some years ago and the vegetation and animals found there cannot be found anywhere else on the island.

Shame I couldn’t find any Dinosaurs! ;)

This is the second shot of a series of 2. It was taken inside a cave where the sea was submerging most of it at certain times… obviously, I was early :)

Wet Monkey

Wet Monkey

December 2007 – Barbados

In the same zoo I took the previous photo there were a lot of wild Monkeys. They were actually free to get out of the Zoo if they wanted to. But the daily Banana call ensured they stayed around each day!

A sudden and huge rain storm lsted about 15 minutes while I was there.. this Monkey seemed to be in charge as there were many other little ones next to him/her. I just liked to take this shot from an angle and the back… it felt more “intimate” than the other ones I have facing him/her directly.

This shot was taken at one (the only one?) Barbados zoo. It was surrounded with giant turtles and trying to hide from the crowd…

Barbados Sunset

December 2007, Barbados

Barbados has some amazing sunset, Although I like some cloud free sunset from time to time, I prefer when there are a few clouds as it make it more interesting!

Circling Fishes

December 2007 – Barbados

This is the last photos of Barbados I will be blogging on that site. So less finish with little fish! I like this photo because I believe it convey quite well the fact the fishes where circling around… and as I like to play with different depth of field those fishes helped in that way!

Ghost ship

Ghost Ship

December 2007 – Barbados

Every evening there were a lot of ships going at sea… probably to enjoy the sunsets or sail to other islands!

That boat caught my attention, it wasn’t one of those massive cruisers but looked like an old boat. In front of the house there was a tall palm tree… that’s it shadows which gives those fuzzy  lines in the foreground

Old Style Fishing

December 2007 – Barbados

At the end of the stroll I was taking on this beach there was this man fishing… he was throwing some kind of dead fish in the sea as a bait and then throwing the net attached to a cord… after a few seconds he was draging back the net to the beach… full of fishes! :o)

Calm before the Storm

Calm before the Storm

December 2007 – Barbados

You can see on this photo the bigger picture of the shot I blogged about yesterday. I really liked those calm puddle of water and the contrast with the waves coming in and breaking its surface. It was a warm evening and the sun was going down.
