Narnia

Pondering the future...

Save my forest.

Rocking out in the trees...

Checking me out...

Can't take my eyes off of you...

Save Me.

The rains came and was too annoying to shoot with iPhone cuz the shutter is so slow...

so switched to the DSLR...those I'll push up next...

Patty, an OFI benefactor from LA also here for a visit with her favorite...

Hooting it up as it starts to rain...

They move fast, with what seems like four arms...

It's so much about whom they feel a bond and trust...

How can u refuse?

Starting to get a little too much love all at once

The moment the first one chose to jump on my back and sort of hung on and went for a ride...

They're shy and check you out, and sometimes challenge you

They know u r a stranger, and a male. Cloudy day and tough to get a focused shot in the low light...

There's this lovely red bamboo growing here...

No coconut shortage here at the rehab centre...

Such a cutie...

kinda speechless.

Live with the kids...

Pangkalan Bun...

The canonical shitty job.

Wheee! Karma delivers Indonesian "ein klasse" again, or, first one out...

Where ancient Boeing 737s go, hopefully to live long and prosper...

The only lounge at the airport, accessible if u have a credit card (few do), or, as in my case, agree to listen to a pitch from the guy here why I need one...

Ever present like ol' Ronald...

Good morning Java...

en route to da plane...

Lesson in posting from a 3rd world country...

In Surabaya trying to make headway in a sea of mopeds to the hotel for the first real shower and bed in two weeks

Sheets!

Urban shock: back in Berau en route to Surabaya

And one last encounter with a coconut crab I've lusted for, but never ate.

Final sunset on the atoll

What a wonderful retreat this was...

Nature's rendition of the scene from "karate kid"...

While baitfish still continue to run for their lives, as they always have, and always will...

The Local King: Risking death to catch the biggest fish brings local hero cred, cash, status and the ladies.

Where braving the dangerous seas and being the best fisherman is the only bet for "making it"...

A final close up of the bad boy...

Nature's amazing graphical skill...

Baby moray just ate the cutie.

A little cutie enjoyng life in the tidal flats...

Big ol' monitor lizard out hunting for a feed

This one is longer than I am tall and climbing a tree trunk just outside my hovel...

Bats on a wire...

Just moments before the monkey busted a finger

.

The road to nowhere, literally.

Starting the day with rain and nasi goreng...
