Indonesia Above and Below
On my fiftieth trip around the sun I promised myself a nice birthday present...and this trip to Indonesia is the gift. Although a majority of this trip will be underwater, I am planning on 2 side trips, one to the Minahsa highlands and to see tarsiers (very small, big eyed primitive monkeys) at a wildlife refuge. I will also have two layovers in Singapore, so am excited to see solar trees, orchids, and hopefully have a fabulous street shoot. Underwater I look forward to seeing many species of frogfish, wonderpus, nudibranchs, coconut octopus, whale sharks (maybe!), night shoots, and mating mandarin fish. Lembeh Strait off the island of Sulawesi is one of the most diverse places in the world for underwater life, and I look forward to immersing myself in it. Hopefully you will enjoy my pictures too.
