A single guiding light burns brightly in the Steveston Harbour.
*** To give you a better perspective of this nautical scene, this image indirectly connects with my last post.. If you notice the wharf section to the right....it is the continuation of the same wharf from the previous photo on its left.

When the light of the day passes, the Cape May Lighthouse guides the weary fisherman back home. What is *your* guiding light when the world gets dark?
The sun will guide you, especially if it is painted on the tree. You may not notice at first as I didn't notice. But it is there, just give it a second look. Sometimes it is all about the second look, and the light doesn't always come from the sun on the sky.
Le Port de Calais, tous les espoirs d'un monde meilleur pour des milliers de migrants, mirage ou réalités Calais - 2018
Guiding friends from Netherlands (who got +200 lifers in 2 weeks with me), they asked me to drive to see what was happening around Río San Juan, just next to Nicaragua border. I was expecting to find Green Macaws (we did find them later!), but first we found, unexpectedly, 3 Scarlet Macaws feeding on a big tree, in the middle of a cow pasture. They are pretty uncommon in northern Caribe. It seems they were 1 establised couple with 1 intruder, event which gave us some interesting action shots: 2 were feeding on a big bromeliad, third one was trying to steal the bride.
Since it was very early in the morning, sun was just in front of us so we had to use a lot of compensation exposure. A minute they were very quiet and nex minute they were fighting, and I got a lot of cropped birds on the photos =S , some of them over or under exposed too. In 5 minutes of action we got some sweet images showing their very special behaviour. Definitively, birds with great personality.
Thanks for reading, and if you ever visit Costa Rica and need a good guide, or just cool driver to take you wherever you need to visit in CR, Panamá or Nicaragua, please dont hesitate to contact me to ask for any detail.

American White Pelican
The American White Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) is a large aquatic soaring bird from the order Pelecaniformes. It breeds in interior North America, moving south and to the coasts, as far as Central America and South America, in winter.
The species also has the second largest average wingspan of any North American bird, after the California condor. This large wingspan allows the bird to easily use soaring flight for migration.

Your star will guide you towards the light in the next year.
A lone pronghorn ran alongside and a bit ahead as we were guided in the Cathedral Valley of Capitol Reef National Park, April 27, 2023. This was a lucky, one shot from a moving vehicle while the animal was moving, too. Our actual guide was pretty excited to see this animal.
Valle de la Luna is a part of the Reserva Nacional los Flamencos and was declared a Nature Sanctuary in 1982 for its natural environment and strange lunar landscape, from which its name is derived.
The Atacama desert is also considered one of the driest places on earth, as some areas have not received a single drop of rain in hundreds of years, but last week. A prototype for a Mars rover was tested there by scientists because of the valley's dry and forbidding terrains.
Leasowe Lighthouse on the Wirral, Merseyside, looks like it is out of it`s place being set back from the waters edge, almost like it was misplaced by aliens.
The human eye needs a certain amount of time to get used to the alternation of light and dark, and this bridge is no exception. However, thanks to the bright strip of light on the ceiling, I couldn't get lost even during the day and reached the other side safely.

There are two sea stacks that together form Drangarnir. These impressive natural formations have become a symbol of the Faroe Islands’ unspoiled landscapes and untamed wilderness. To me, they conjure visions of a dragon's back, rising up from the icy waters swirling along its base. It is a haven for birdlife and a bucket list item for photographer's fortunate enough to find themselves in this Viking wonderland.
For me, it was an experience of a lifetime and the fulfillment of a bucket list dream that all began with a tiny image I saw on Instagram of a grass roofed cottage. What an incredible privilege to photograph the immense Drangarnir sea stacks (the smaller one rises out of the ocean to a height of over 200 '), probably one of the most iconic formations of the Faroe Islands.
Unfortunately, it is also one of the more harrowing places to get to. If I wasn’t grey already, that day would have done it in spades. Thank God for great travel partners, and our gifted leader, Thomas Vikre, who guided us through the gauntlet of eel-slippery rocks, steep slopes ending abruptly into the North Atlantic, and high tides bouncing our Zodiac around like a ping pong ball. Honestly, I would have turned back each time if given a choice. I have no desire to “prove” myself, or conquer fears at this point in my life, but it was a one way street, so no way to turn back. And in the end, I am glad for that. The beauty and majesty of the place is really indescribable, and to stand in the midst of it was truly an “epic” 😉 experience for us all.
