A fish with an attitude
A number of paradise-like islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean… The Seychelles.
One of the highlights for me was the diving.
It might look like an easy motive but it´s not, I promise. It´s a different ballgame to take pictures under water. The creatures you meet accept your presence up to a certain point. If you get to close they are off in a hurry. No posing from this guy.

Hey mister..
“don´t swim to far out.. there are big sharks out there” the twins told me and smiled between them.
It was mostly a friendly joke. But I knew that six months earlier sharks had killed one french man and two weeks later an english tourist not very far from this beach.
Praslin island, The Seychelles. February 2012.
A year ago
I took a very good decision. I made a flight reservation southeast (for a change) and ended up on this special place south of the equator. The Seychelles. The picture is from Beau Vallon beach at the island of Mahé.

A couple of days ago in Gothenburg and a much colder river than the one in yesterdays post.
A family excursion.
Mother, father and two kids taking a trip on the Madeira, a tributary to the Amazon-river.
The locals in the Amazon region still carve dug-out canoes from trees in the rainforest. The river is often the main transportation route and the canoe is a common and convenient way of moving around.

Along the river
Went for a walk along the river in the cold and sunny weather today. The back pack filled with the big expensive camera plus extra lenses. Never took anything of it out.. it was too cold. iPhone and the panorama feature made the trick.
Between jobs
Gothenburg is divided by the river “Göta Älv”. I often use the shuttle ferry when I need to go over to Hisingen island. Used the iPhone to catch the combination of the icy cold water today and that colorful January light.
