Bay of wonder
So this little known place is probably the closest I will ever get to tropical paradise. Its called Wayag, and is a group of Islands off the Western Coast of West Papua in Indonesia.
Its quite a story about how I got here (i hope to write it up some time soon), but I want to pay full credits to my friend Simon Mammino for his assistance in getting this shot. Take a bow mate (and now get back to work).

A well captured landscape. it is the essence of a tropical location. Consider adding this image to the Tropical Art group which I moderate.

A most wondrous shot. The ever so slight lens distortion gives the impression that one is viewing the curvature of the Earth. Well done
