Cloud Forest, Marina Bay, Singapore

Aan het einde van de dag is het belangrijk om even af te koelen. Het is altijd een uitdaging om ergens een verstopt meertje te vinden. Maar als het dan lukt, kan de dag niet meer stuk. Zeker niet met een uitzicht als deze.

An early morning, climbing to observe parakeet movements in Nalacapa, El Oro, Ecuador. In reality, the area is severely deteriorated: deforested for cattle mainly. Sometimes, in the early morning, when the mist covers the bare patches... you can forget that.

As we were hiking the heavy clouds with the internal rain crept in.
