These land iguanas were photographed along the northern coast of Santa Cruz Island in the Galápagos Archipelago, near Bachas Beach, just across a narrow channel from North Seymour Island. After the rainy season, small patches of green emerge among the dark volcanic rocks, creating a striking backdrop that highlights the iguanas' yellow and brown hues.

Land iguanas are large, slow-moving reptiles that spend much of their day basking in the sun. Unlike their marine relatives, who feed on algae, they primarily eat cactus pads and other dry plants. These animals are well-adapted to their harsh environment — quiet survivors demonstrating how life has evolved to survive on these remote islands.

Vietnam. BacHa market.

Bac Ha market which takes place every Sunday is famous for the originality and authenticity that the traders still preserve.Bac Ha Sunday market is one of the biggest ones, colorful, busy and magnificent. The Flower Hmong and Giay people from rural villages rush to the market from early dawn. Despite the distance, they walk, ride a horse or if better-off, a motorbike to Bac Ha market to trade goods. But the biggest reason of all is probably to socialize.

Bulk carrier ''Cape Leonidas'' leaving Grand harbour, Valetta en route to Guinea. November 2018. Fair winds and following seas! I am always touched from the looks of the ships, as my beloved father Nikolaos Arapis was a Master of the Merchant Navy. He passed away at August 19th, 2014.

Vessel's name Leonidas also stirs me, is the first name of a dear friend who passed away at August 1st, 2018. Leonidas Bachas was a fine man and a skilled sailor. He was owner and skipper of the s/y ''Thyella'', a Van de Stadt Pionier 9m blue water sailboat.

Ce portail est l’œuvre d’un artisan local (Martres Tolosane). Son prix s’élève à 1256 francs. Sur chacun des battants apparait l’arbre de vie tandis que diverses inscriptions exaltent les vertus Chrétiennes. Un soleil et une lune ornent la partie haute. L’encadrement d’inspiration romane est composé d’archivoltes et de chapiteaux soutenus par des colonnes. Le tympan historié allie des symboles religieux, clefs, mitre, crosse et bâtons à des représentations animales rappelant certains motifs de blasons (Cf Flohic).
