We sailed from Cienfuegos at sunset. You pass through a very narrow channel from the harbor to the open sea; this quiet fishing village lies on the western shore.

Lake Powell and its Reflection Canyon are no doubt awe-inspiring. With water levels at a historical low, we had amazing photographic opportunities this Spring. With little to no snow in the surrounding mountains, water levels aren't expected to rise much going into summer. The fluctuating water levels create many new photo opportunities, such as being able to see the entire spine at Reflection Canyon!
We are going back this Fall and due to last minute cancellations, a couple spots just opened up on our Lake Powell Houseboat trip. Send us an email to info@actionphototours.com ASAP if you'd like to join!
How wonderful is the natural world? The more I see and learn the more I realise how little I actually know.
The channel-billed cuckoo is somewhat a 'jerk' of a bird as it will not build a nest for itself but rather will move in on other nests in the area, usually birds of similar size, like the currawong and magpie. They don't eve care if there are already eggs in the nest.
The young birds do not evict the host's young or eggs from the nest, but simply grow faster and demand all the food, thus starving the others.

Thanks for any views faves or comments on this or any of my images!
This used to be known as Butchertown about a hundred years ago; center of many slaughterhouses along this channel. Other industry took over after that, and by now that has been removed from the urban industrial landscape too.
This was what remained of the old copra plant and its associated dock facility in the Islais Creek estuary in southeastern San Francisco. As of 2020 there is no trace left of this industry.

I took this photo while passing through. The boats that are docked leaves some stunning views at times. This photo was taken at the Channel Islands Marina / Harbor in Ventura County, California

A very rarely photographed section of the Oregon Coast. This area sits behind another more popular spot but people rarely go up here... I've found great solitude here.
Nosy Be is an island off the northwest coast of Madagascar. Nosy Be is Madagascar's largest and busiest tourist resort. It has an area of 320.02 km2, and its population was 109,465 according to the provisional results of the 2018 Census.
Nosy Be means "big island" in the Malagasy language. The island was called Assada during the early colonial era of the 17th century. Nosy Be has been given several nicknames over the centuries, including "Nosy Manitra" (the scented island).
The first human inhabitants of Nosy Be were small bands of Antankarana and Zafinofotsy, before the Sakalava people migrated there and became the most numerous ethnic group on the island. These people were joined later by some Comorians, Indians or Antandroy. Nosy Be made first major appearance in Madagascar's history when King Radama I announced that he intended to conquer the whole west of Madagascar. That plan was eventually achieved in 1837 when the Sakalava Kingdom of Boina came into the possession of Ranavalona I upon the defeat of Queen Tsiomeko's army.
The French colonized the island from 1840, founding an outpost named Hell-Ville (from French Admiral de Hell). The 1848 abolition of slavery in the French colonies resulted in a revolt against the French by the Sakalava people, who were extensively involved in the slave trade. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the island was governed by the French as an internal protectorate within the colony of Madagascar. The outpost became an important trade harbor in the Mozambique channel. During the nineteenth century, the French settlers developed cash crop agriculture (mainly sugar cane) and recruited indentured laborers from East Africa. Though it was difficult for the French to control the littoral, they founded a plantation colony in Nosy Be, mainly producing sugar and cash crops. The French used both military force and diplomacy to maintain their position in the island, appointing the former ruler of Nosy Be Binao as the gouverneur principal of the island.
During the Russo-Japanese War Nosy Be became a supply station for Russia's Second Pacific Squadron. The main fleet led by Admiral Zinovy Rozhestvensky reached Nosy Be on January 9, 1905, where it met a smaller detachment led by Admiral Dmitry von Fölkersam that had arrived already on December 28, 1904. The fleet stayed for two months for refurbishing and coaling, leaving on March 17 to meet its fate ten weeks later at the Battle of Tsushima.
