I haven't taken any good photos for almost a week and I don't even care.
I have so much else to do.
I suppose you could say I'm contented with the way things are.
I think this fence was dancing when I took the shot!
HFF!

KIRKJUFELL (Church Mountain) on the West coast.
With the campervan parked up for the night , I grabbed my gear to photograph the area. It was a "Wow" moment when I noticed the stunning evening light on the mountain so legged it up the hill, over a bridge and down close to the falls.
Kirkjufell looking glorious.

Banana tree leaf vendor. He supplies to many places & is involved in this trade since he was young. The daily routine. I was taken aback seeing his technique and balance !

He was barefooted. Shoe is a luxury to him, as he may only be earning that much with which he can manage the bare minimum. Motor bike is a necessity for him in this trade, that is why he is having one. How much someone can earn by selling banana tree leaves, and that too which do not fetch a good price? At least he has a noble profession, whatever small it may be !

Sally Lightfoot crabs are rumoured to have been named after a Caribbean dancer, due to their agility in jumping from rock to rock, their ability to run in four directions and their capacity to climb up vertical slopes. This extreme agility makes them very difficult to catch.
They are brightly-coloured coastal scavengers, found in the Galapagos Islands and across the western coast of South and Central America. They have an extremely generalist diet, feeding on anything from sea lion placenta to other crabs. This makes them an important part of the ecosystem, as they provide services such as keeping the shore clean of any organic debris and eating ticks off marine iguanas. . Adult crabs show characteristic intense blue and red colouring on their shells, with a white or pale blue underbelly. Younger crabs have darker colouration with red spots, providing a higher degree of camouflage. Every time the crabs moult their shell, the spots become gradually larger, until they obtain the adult colouring.
Female Sally Lightfoot crabs carry their eggs around with them on their stomachs until they hatch into the water. The larvae then swim out to deeper waters, where they consume phytoplankton and undergo a rapid series of moults. Eventually they undergo metamorphosis to become juvenile crabs and swim to shore, where they start to scavenge, becoming bigger and more colourful with each moult. These juveniles tend to travel in large groups until they reach maturity, after which they become largely solitary when not mating. When they are not mating or feeding, the crabs spend their time hiding in cracks in rocks. If they are disturbed, they may spray water or shed one of their legs as a defence mechanism.
Their scientific name is Grapsus grapsus.
