Manta Rays at Mantapoint, Nusa Penida. Very impressive to see these 3m. wide fish swim beside you. Too bad the water was a bit murky but the experience was awesome!
Mantas seem so relaxed in their environment, they have very few predators and none appear to be around this area of the Maldives. Its almost like they are performing a dance of some sort. its mesmerizing.
The Makro - where you can buy food in bulk - also sells sting rays alongside giant Mekong river catfish, frogs, squid and every other kind of sea creature you can think of. Leif begs to visit this section everytime we go - not to buy just to ogle and poke.

This roughly 5-feet long creature washed ashore on Ellis Landing Beach, Brewster, Cape Cod Massachusetts.

The secret of shooting good concert shots still eludes me,i think you have to be close by,i was a good 200meters back,dodge direct spot lights,i had one pointing straight at me,and the whole gig was lit in either red or blue,not good for definition hence most shots were transferred to B&W.

Almost all shots on this trip turned up blurred because the bus was really speeding. The bus stopped long enough for this one.
