Actually this was my room, and before going to bed we found a very big bug on my wife's pillow and spent some time trying to chase him out of the bed 🦟🕷🐜
Antonio- these images have so much to visually digest! Color, detail, content bursting on our optic screen. I will have to gaze at these again on my high resolution desk top screens to fully appreciate your work. I personally get claustrophobic within organic canopies- your images allow us to travel openly into areas never dreamed of (and Ive been to 70 countries around the world). Thank you for these images.
I do not even try to approach your travel experiences Bruce. I would love to see pictures from all those countries. Even though they are old and in film.
Thank you kindly for your motivating words my friend. Japan will be next one after Sri Lanka.
