One-Year Ago (10-January-2016) — Pacific Ocean

Gone to See the World. Semester at Sea Spring 2016 Voyage on the MV World Odyssey. Day 6: Crossing the Pacific Ocean.

Pair of Brown Boobies flying into a Sunburst. I guess they didn’t read Icarus. From the deck of the MV World Odyssey while crossing the Pacific Ocean. Later on I caught a sequence of images of a Brown Booby fishing, then going into a dive. At the end of the day we were fortunate to see a glimmer of a “Green Flash” as the sun fell into the sea.

Four-Years Ago (10-January-2013) — Florida

Gone to See America. January 2013 Florida Road Trip. Day 8: Merritt Island.

Have you ever had the Google Photo Assistant create or add a photo effect that makes no sense? This is an image I previously posted of “Two Roseate Spoonbills and Five Brown Pelicans Flying in Formation formation over the Merritt Island Wildlife Preserve”. The Google “photo assistant” created a version with snow falling. It also changed the location to Bengaluru, Karnataka, India???

Prior to departing Hosteria Lago Grey, we were rewarded with several rainbows. The first one was at dawn, with only the red and orange colors. Later on after the sun rose a bit further there was a full rainbow over Lago Grey and the glacier.
