My photo
My name is Doug and I like to travel to.... well, anywhere really... I've combined this with my fairly recent love of photographs to make this travel blog. If I find it interesting I take photos and I post them here, and I try to find a bit of cultural insight too. Please leave a comment or use the comment boxes to reach me. I usually reply within a few days!

Goodbye Corsica

 The last night in Corsica anchored in a small bay gave me not only this great sunset shot, but waking up early in the morning to set off towards the south coast of France, we were blessed with a really calming influence and an aura from a very still mediterranean sea.

During the day the sun beat, and at times the horizon magically disolved to leave the sky and sea merging seamlessly into each other- something I have never previously seen before. But then I get the benefit of being able to spend a lot more time on deck to see these sights on this boat. There were also big fish- tuna so I'm told. And lots of dolphins- which i was a little gutted about as the footage I had is missing due to a malfunctioning camera...


Last time I remember the water being this silky was in the Patagonia canals, South America (http://dougondeployment.blogspot.com/2009/08/patagonia.html)
Clinging on for dear life on the med crossing
Tuna, presumably. Must be some dolphins around here somewhere....
