For many weeks in Andava, I was confused by numerous tracks in the sand around the huts and up on the dune near the huts. The tracks were continuous wavy lines, so they really appeared to be made by a snake, but they lacked the…

Sorry for not posting more recently, I’ve been trying to get the photos of the Milky Way processed in a way I am satisfied with, and I’ve been really struggling with that, so I’ve been spending time working on photos with little in the way…
On our overland tour north, we got to see some more lemurs… Oh – and in case you’re interested, I paid my deposit for another expedition with Blue Ventures – this time to Timor Leste in October/November/December. I’ll be doing a two week whale/coral watch…
I’m sitting in Paris this evening waiting for the rain to finish up so I can head out for some dinner, and while Paris is cool and all, what I’m really missing is this… The conditions were never favorable for any over/under shots, but I…
I can’t decide which version I like better…
I’ve been trying to get some photos of this kestrel since shortly after arriving in Andava, then one evening a pair of them posed for me right in the perfect light of sunset…
I’ll hopefully be putting together a couple timelapse videos, but for now, here’s a single frame of the Milky Way with a couple meteors…
These little guys were photographed inside one of the no-take reserves that Blue Ventures has helped the Velondriak association establish. We had completed our surveys of this site, so I got the bonus of getting to take the camera and do some “photographic surveying”.
On the same dive where we found those Nemobrotha Nudis, I managed to find this absolutely stunning Blue Dragon Nudibranch (Pteraeolidia ianthina). Today is a bit of a sad day though as I am leaving Andavadoaka and beginning my journey back towards home.
A couple closeups showing the corals feeding with their tentacles out during the day…
This little reef fish tends to live both in tabular corals (like the Indian Dascyllus I’ve shared before) as well as in anemones like this one…
We’ve started doing actual scientific survey dives at this point so I am not able to take my camera as often (though honestly, if I hadn’t struggled with it working properly earlier in the trip, I might have more photos). But one of our expedition…
Outside our huts there is a wooden fence/railing at the edge of the small cliff that drops down to the beach – many of have taken to hanging wet clothing there to dry… and quite often when I go to retrieve my dry clothes I’d…
