Maybe my favorite of my tiger photos, he looks like he just got caught.
I managed to get this look from him playing hide and seek after we made eye contact and no one was around. This was right after i popped out behind a wall he could not see around.

Die Gaspé-Halbinsel in der kanadischen Provinz Quebec hat sehr unterschiedliche Gesichter. Der Norden der Halbinsel ist sehr ursprünglich und rau, der Süden eher lieblich und auch mehr touristisch geprägt. Aus welcher Region dieses Bild stammt ist dann wohl klar :). Sainte-Félicité bestand nur aus wenigen Häusern und dieser verfallene Schuppen, direkt auf den Klippen zum Wasser hatte wohl schon bessere Zeiten gesehen.
I had forgotten the harshness of winter and how it can whistle straight through my veins.

The heritage of Africans in Mexico after Christopher Columbus is a rarely explored topic in the history books of the Americas. Gasper Yanga is one of the neglected figures within African history in the Americas. He was the founder of the town Yanga, located in the Veracruz region of Mexico, between the Port of Veracruz and Córdoba. It is among the first free African settlements in the Americas after the start of the European slave trade.
While the available official reports regarding the history of Gasper Yanga is sorely lacking, local lore reports that Yanga escaped slavery from the region of the Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion plantation in 1570. Regional lore also provides that Yanga was a prince stolen from a royal family of Gabon, Africa. The word "Yanga" has origins in many regions of West and Central Africa, including the Yoruba regions in Nigeria where the word means "pride".
