It’s a Red-Eyed Tree Frog kind of day.

Photo of the Day: Boats of San Juan del Sur
This photo was taken from the summit of an ocean cliff in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. The view below is of the half moon cove that provides shelter for fishing boats and beach goers alike.
My compadre Nils, a native of Nicaragua working in Costa Rica who I met while crossing into Nicaragua, persuaded me to take a detour to SJDS on my way to Granada.
With its serene ocean view and party atmosphere, this friendly ocean town was definitely worth the stop. Nils showed me the ropes of the town and led me to this spot, the colossal 24 meter Christ of Mercy statue, 134 meters above the ocean on display for the town below.
Evergreens in the Fog
This was taken outside of Tahoe, CA on a cold January morning. We pulled the car over to photograph a waterfall but this turned out to be the more provoking view.
Theme of the Week and Cairo, Egypt
I’m considering doing something a little different with the photoblog–a “theme of the week” where I post photos for the week that follow a theme. We’ll see how this plays out.
For now though, this week’s theme is… (reaching into a hat to pull a small folded piece of paper) … black and white photos. Start simple, right? We’ll get more abstract later.
Below is a photo I took years ago in Cairo, Egypt, before all the recent political unrest. Cairo is unlike any other city that I’ve visited, even in terms of its population density. This photo was taken early morning, and I’m pretty sure the haze in the background is smog from the previous day. The streets were empty at that moment, but within a few hours they’d be packed with Cairo’s roughly 7 million denizens.
Photo of the Day: All clear on Market St.
Still going on my San Francisco kick, I thought I’d post another one of the city.
This is an unusually empty view for a weekday afternoon in the area where the touristy Embarcadero meets the bustling Financial District. It was the holiday season though, and a number of people had already left town.
Photo of the Day: Dock of the Bay
This was taken in San Francisco at sunrise about a month ago. I had arrived the night before and was jet lagged, so I woke up at 6am and wandered around the AT&T Park area, capturing this and other photos.
