I have a lot of these-luckily I have visited Komodo more than once in my life.

sky painting over Tulamben
The most lovely side of Bali-quiet, black sand beaches with a view of the volcano. Locals walk by with their cows in the morning, and in May everything was green. This was a spectacular sunrise on top of all of the other gifts some of which, of course, are under the sea.
the liveaboard and speed socializing…
the liveaboard and speed socializing… by Janice M. Nigro I have to admit, even though I ignore it, the liveaboard is a potential backdrop for huge drama. It is several days out to sea, so the first challenge is to arrive on time for the departure and with your gear. The second challenge is that... Continue Reading →

For example, I have had an extraordinary education and lived in some interesting parts of the US and the world, but today, I am living in a small... Continue Reading →

An inauspicious scuba dive beginning
An inauspicious beginning by Janice Nigro The first “underwater” experience that I remember vividly was the submarine ride at Disneyland probably because of the giant clam. We stockpile these images, and it is never clear when they might reappear in our life. For me, it would be over 30 years later when I, as a... Continue Reading →
