Expressions of the Galapagos

Some years ago a friend of mine told me "if you want an incredible experience, go for a trip to the Galapagos Islands".
His words resonated with me for long time until my wife and I decided to go for the voyage: it was and experience a beyond my expectation.

Accompanied by a guide, fourteen of us spent one week touring several islands, taking pictures in land and underwater. We toured on a katamaran traveling at night and exploring the islands during the day. The natural beauty of the landscape of the volcanic islands complements the variety of animal life and vegetation that we experienced.

We were surrounded by animals that were not afraid of us, they mostly ignored us and, as we walked between them, they went along with their lives eating, sleeping, feeding and sometimes even procreating.

It was a difficult task to select the images for this exhibit, however I tried to provide to you, the viewer, the expressions of the live creatures as I saw them while we were there.

I would to suggest to anyone who is interested in exploring life on this planet to take the trip to soak up the beauty and the character of the Islands!
