Arrrival in Honduras, a photo from Islas de la Bahia, East

Photographer's Note

Honduras , is a republic in Central America. Honduras spans an area of about 112,492 km² and has a population exceeding 8 million. Its northern portions are part of the Western Caribbean Zone, as reflected in the area's demographics and culture. Honduras is known for its rich natural resources, including various minerals, coffee, tropical fruit, and sugar cane, as well as for its growing textiles industry, which serves the international market.

We were cruising in the Caribbean and stopped here for the day. This entire area of Roatan or Mahogany Bay has been recreated by the Cruise Lines. New harbor , new docks, new hotels etc. It is located on the world's second largest coral reef after the one in Australia. The people shown in the picture were a welcoming group playing delightful music of the country. I took a tour of a large garden area which contained many of the fruits and produce of the area. Many spices are grown here as well.

I see you travel still a lot. Must have been a great adventure such cruise in the Caribbean.

Hi Roger,

The subject is well framed. You have captured well the action of the musicians and of the dancers. The point of view is showing the details of their clothings. The good luminosity is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Roger

A superb daily life scene from Honduras. The drummers and dancers animate the scene nicely. Good sharpness, color and saturation. The thatched roof adds a tropical look. A pleasant diffused light from the right with good long shadows. Good breathing space right around the happy group. Tfs!

Questa è vita ...... il "turista" confonde civiltà autosufficenti col folclore.
Hanno coffee, tropical fruit, and sugar ...ma spesso di propietà di multinazionali.
Bella foto e persone felici.
