Quirigua HDR

High Definition Images (HDR) images taken during a tour group visit to Quirigua Archaeological Park in central Guatemala. Quirigua is home of one of the largest and most well-preserved collections of Mayan stelae and zoomorphs of the Mayan classic period, displayed under thatched roofs in beautifully manicured gardens.

Toad Ugly

Half-way through a very nice dive at Turneffe Atoll off Belize, the divemaster found this whitespotted toadfish. The whitespotted toadfish is reported only in waters off Belize, which makes this fish unique and interesting — though also quite ugly.

At the End of the Rainbow

Belize – the Cruise Ship Anchorage

The cruise ship Norwegian Jewel sparkles in the sun under a double rainbow, as a rain squall passes. Shot from the Holland America ship Ryndam in the cruise ship anchorage at Belize. Turneffe Atoll is visible to the left, just emerging under the storm clouds.

Caribbean Cruise, Thanksgiving 2009

I have finally been able to finish uploading the photos from our Caribbean Cruise last fall. At Thanksgiving Nancy and I went with a bunch of folks on a Cruise on the Holland America Line’s MS Ryndam, on a western Caribbean cruise. We stopped at Key West, Belize, Guatemala, and Costa Maya in Mexico. The photos are finally on RickCollierImagery and include underwater and tourist shots, including some High Dynamic Range (HDR) photos. Links to the new galleries are provided.
