An early morning rainbow visible from the deck of the MV Explorer as we approached San Juan, Puerto Rico. Several of the photographers in Michael Mariant’s Ultimate Travel Photography workshop were up early to check out the sunrise before arriving in Puerto Rico when the rainbow appeared.

When in Oslo, I always like to visit the Vigeland Sculpture Park. A target rich environment for photographers.

While the MV Explorer was docked in Amsterdam, we went on a Semester at Sea field trip to the Kröller-Müller Museum and Sculpture Garden at Hoge Veluwe National Park in Otterlo, Netherlands. While walking through the outdoor Sculpture Garden, Mother posed with the ´Monsieur Jacques´ (1956) sculpture by Oswald Wenckebach. I processed the image in black and white to avoid some distracting colors in the background. These days I could have just used AI to remove the distractions.

Mother sitting at a bench in front of a street art mural in Cozumel, Mexico. While the MV Explorer was docked in Cozumel, we attended a field program that included Josefina’s Mexican cooking class. On the way back to the ship, we passed this mural where the blue colors matched her clothes.

While the M/V Explorer was docked in Puerto Limon, Costa Rica I went on a field trip to visit the local rain forests. The focus of the field trip was to observe and photograph birds and other wildlife in the rainforest. Sometimes when you see something you just have to take the shot. In this case it was the woman focused on her digital phone in the middle of the rainforest.

Brown Booby (Sula leucogaster) in flight over the Pacific Ocean. Viewed from the deck of the MV Explorer while traveling between Costa Rica and Panama. The Brow Boobies seemed to be following the ship — possibly looking for fish in ship’s wake.

While the MV Explorer was docked in Casablanca, I took the field trip to the Atlas Mountains. I captured this image of a Berber farmer holding a sickle in his hand and wave to us as we approached the village where we were going to stop for a cooking lesson and lunch. I didn’t know that anyone harvested wheat this way anymore.

While on a field trip to Doñana National Park in Spain we stopped near a wheat field to strech our legs and do some birdwatching. I noticed several bright Red Poppy flowers in the field. I guess that they are a native “weed”.

My father and I spent the day on a field trip to Gibraltar. We took bus to the summit of the Rock of Gibraltar. Our guide cautioned everyone to keep their pockets and daypacks securely closed and to avoid exposing any food, as the wild monkeys can be highly aggressive. Numerous monkeys (Barbary macaques) were encountered along the way and upon reaching the visitor center at the summit.
