The origins of the sky ... is the meaning of Sian Ka'an in Mayan, the name of this beautiful stretch of land between sea and lagoon.
This panorama was shot from the top of the cesiak on our route to Punta Allen. Probably the most memorable part of our trip in the Yucatan peninsula.
Handheld panorama of 12 shots. Originally intended as an HDR but never managed to stitch it right....
While the Queen and French usually steal the show when it comes to Angelfish, I've always been quite enamored with Rock Beauties myself. That said, I was a bit surprised that I only saw a handful of juveniles on my recent trip to the Caribbean and not a single adult. Perhaps I was simply in too shallow of water. Nonetheless, beautiful little fish!
This tree is native to the Yucatan peninsula and produces a white latex used for making chewing gum. The ripe fruit is very sweet and a prized froot of the Maya.
Best viewed large. Looking North, toward Pesca Maya (a small fishing guide camp) just North of Punta Allen, Mexico. About 50km south of Tulum.
A Queen Conch peers out from the safety of its shell. These large invertebrates spend their lives calmly foraging the sea grass beds of the Caribbean and surrounding tropical waters. Taking 5 years to mature and growing up to 40 years in age, it isn't surprising to know that they are now threatened and in decline from over fishing and poaching.

One of my favorite reef fish, the Spanish Hogfish is always on the go. They're often found zipping in and out of coral heads hunting for various crustaceans and other morsels to consume and when juveniles are quick to offer their cleaning services to many larger fish.
Typically the Spanish Hogfish I encounter are a brighter purple in coloration so I was a bit surprised to find them so blue along the reefs of the Sian Ka'an.
