ECUADOR
August 2008

Exceeding the expectation!

Start out as strangers - end up as friends.

That was the acclaimation of the particpants of Ecuador 2008.

With cameras in hand and eyes open wide, we traveled the Ecuadorian landscape, marveling in the beauty, snapping photos all along the way and experiencing the sights and sounds of Ecuador in all its splendor.

Our first stop was Papallacta, a world class geothermal spa.
From the smallest creatures to the magnificence of the Antisana volcano, photo ops were everywhere.

"It takes a photographer - fluent in the language of hues, saturation and composition - to capture that beauty with a lens" Hilary Smith, Messenger Post Newspapers

By the time I sort all these pictures, it will be time for another trip!
But I am glad I took so many just for my own memories, and then the more "photographic" are for showing to others. I learned a lot from you guys about photography, and am very inspired to just keep playing with it.
