sian ka'an
A solitary boat guides us through the wonderful wild biosphere reserve of sian ka’an (mayan for ‘where the sky was born’) a 1.3million acre mix of flooded savannah, mangroves, forests and coral reef. Situated on a long penisula south of Tulum on the caribbean coast of Mexico’s yucatan peninsula .
Home to crocodiles, jaguar, puma, manatees, monkeys and more….. with a mix of freshwater bubbling up from cenotes or sinkholes and even some mayan ruins largely unexcavated and some 350 kinds of birds…
An amazing gem of a wild wet place devoted to conservation ….but largely undiscovered…..
A first boat trip (!) for my new Nikon D60 with , Nikkor 18-200 lens , UV filter,
at f/9, 1/320sec, ISO-100, 18mm

Beautiful shot, dinghy! The lines of the boat lead the eye to the left bank and then on down-river toward the sky. An area of the Yucatan peninsula seldom seen, I think. Good low shot gives the true feeling of all the dense low foliage. Well done! Brave use of your camera, eh?
Della McMullan
the angle of your shot makes the viewer feel like they are in the boat on tour with you….very interesting info links too….Are you sure your not a travel writer???? : ))))
