If you've always wondered what it would be like to live in Eden, a small group trip to the Galapagos islands will satisfy you in more ways than one. Being neither predator nor prey, humans are ignored by most of the creatures that inhabit these fabled islands. Birds, sea lions, giant tortoises and iguanas share the paths and the beaches with travelers, while sea turtles, killer whales and even sharks keep snorkelers and boaters company in the water. This presentation will focus on opportunities for wildlife photography, but will also include photos and descriptions of Quito and the Otavalo Market in Ecuador. The speaker will offer professional quality photography, photography tips, history of the islands, personal stories, and information about planning a trip of your own to this fascinating part of the world.
