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.

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.

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.
