We will slow down on our traveling and rest for two weeks in Rosario. I don’t expect to shoot much here since my eyes also need a little break. I’ll therefore post shots taken during previous stages for a few days. Let’s start by an Ecuador baywatch. If someone is waving at you from the sea, wave back … or stand still, only the cute uniform matters. (click on picture for high res)

Today we went on a boat trip to Isla de la Plata. This island, covered by dry bush and rocks, is home to unusual species of birds, seawolfes and it also finds itself in the path of migrating whales. The trip was long, the sea sometimes a bit rough and the search for whales exciting. Here is a series of moments of that wonderful day. As always, I tried to give it a street photography spin as much as I could. (click on pictures for high res).
