Woody however, was happy to stand in.

Taken in the garden at Tring. The colourful yet simple contrast between the sky and the leaf compelled me to take this shot.

About Semuc Champey, Guatemala

Semuc Champey is a natural monument in the department of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala, near the Q'eqchi' Maya town of Lanquín. It consists of a natural 300 m limestone bridge, under which passes the Cahabón River. Atop the bridge is a series of stepped, turquoise pools, a popular swimming attraction. Although it can be difficult to get to, Semuc is becoming more and more popular with travelers.

Now imagine how the city would look if it was this clear every day. The reflection of the clouds makes the building look almost translucent. That black speck is a bird.

I used a lens extender to take this extreme macro of what was a quite ordinary flower.

The tulips were glowing in the late afternoon sun when I walked across the field to photograph them! :)
