Sloth!

2011-07-07T13:54:00.000-07:00

I took this is Manzanillo in Costa Rica. The area is quite famous for the sloths that can be seen in the tree tops. After spending a few days there I hadn't seen a single one (although I did see some monkeys and various other weird insects) so I was quite disappointed. Then, just as I was waiting for the bus to arrive to leave, this little fellow came crawling out of the hedge and crossed the road, only about 10 feet away from me.

He came about one minute before the bus and held up the traffic (not that it was a busy road at all) until he had made it to the other side, including the bus. It has to be one of the most perfectly timed events in my life!

Rooftops in Granada, Nicaragua

I took this when I was a bit bored in my hotel room in Granada, Nicaragua. These are the turrets of the church I previously posted.

A funny man with an aeroplane in Panama

2011-07-05T08:47:00.000-07:00

This is a bad quality photo but I wanted to post it up because it is so weird. I took this in Bocas Del Torro in Panama. This man had a model aeroplane with lights, propellers and wheels that was attached to a length of string and he would walk up and down the main road with it for hours. It took a while to really understand what he was doing, at fist I just thought it was a bit odd but maybe he was proud of his model plane.

It turns out that he was walking up and down the street waiting for the right gust of wind. When it came along he ran along the road dragging the plane behind him until the plane took off and flew about 20-30 feet up in the air. Of course, it didn't stay up for very long but it obviously made him quite happy.

Sanatorium, Costa Rica

This another shot from the sanatorium in Costa Rica. The graffiti is pretty strange but there's something I like about it.

The beach, Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

Not much to say about this, just a shot of the quiet beach on the Pacific side of Costa Rica. This was Christmas Day I think.

Waterfall, Costa Rica

This is from a little woodland/forest area in Costa Rica.

Arenal blowing it's top

2011-06-30T08:39:00.000-07:00

This wasn't unusual, it's constantly erupting so there wasn't any need for alarm!

Volcano Arenal at dust

This is another long exposure, this time of volcano Arenal in Costa Rica.

Iguana at the beach

2011-06-28T08:35:00.000-07:00

I saw this iguana in the bushes at the beach, he was a little shy so it was hard to get a good picture of him.

Squirrel Eating Papaya, Costa Rica

2011-06-27T08:32:00.000-07:00

I saw this when walking around Santa Teresa, Costa Rica trying to find somewhere to stay the night on Christmas Day. With it being peak season, it wasn't very easy!

100 Followers!!

2011-06-22T13:32:00.000-07:00

Well I currently have 101 followers so thanks to everyone for coming back to my blog and commenting on the photos. Got lots more to come!

This one is a long exposure photo I took in Costa Rica, just outside Cartago (I think). This was on the way back from the aborted trip to the volcano when we went to the sanatorium instead. What looks like the sea and a coast is actually the clouds.

Sanatorium, Costa Rica (again)

This is another shot from inside the sanatorium near Cartago, Costa Rica.

Rooftops In Stormy Marrakesh

2011-06-15T08:08:00.000-07:00

I was the peak of summer when this was taken and there was a brief storm so I tried to capture some lightning. This was the best one I took but it's not quite as dramatic as I was hoping for.
