The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is Near and Far. Photos can magically portray a far-away location as if it were right in front of us. By pairing an image in the foreground with one in the distance, one can strengthen and add depth to a photo. Enjoy these images that transport you to far away locations as well as illustrate the perspective of near and far! Z

The shot after the turtles looks amazing.
It looks like a painting to me.
Love the lights and composition so much.
Great great capture!
Thanks so much! I never tire of photographing those precious little tanks of energy! Z
On second glance, I think you were referring to the image of the moored boats at the entrance to the Panama Canal. Awakening and getting in place before sunrise is always worth the effort, and never have I said later, ‘I wish I had stayed in bed.’
Thanks! z

ciao Lisa: oh the Tortugitas / turtles – wouldn’t you like to paint their backsides? or at least the boats?
Si! I’ve painted several watercolors of the tortugitas; I had hoped to salage that old boat, but the rainy season took it away last year. 😦
Thanks for your feedback, as always! Z

I’ve set a link to you, Lisa …
Thanks! I’ve pulled an almost all nighter, so I’m about to take a catnap. Will be travelling again later this morning and hope to catch up with reading when i get home on Sunday. A good dose of your music will be a great tonic when I get home! Z
Thank you! The little burro laptop should have ‘died’ weeks ago but is still hanging on! it’s very sluggish tonight and would not open the link.
The new computer is about to make my cyber life much easier! Z

Grazie! You are a gift to all who know you! Mr. Music, would you please play a new tune soon?!!!! Z
fantastic photos..tried to pick a favorite, but love them all.. boat parade this morning, then dancing and fireworks tonight..will need to take a siesta this afternoon. Safe travels amiga “may the road rise up to meet you and the wind be at your back’
hey! you will surely have an amazing weekend. the boat parade is always wonderful. if this is a san pedro san pablo festival, be prepared for that fiesta to last until morning!
i love that cowboy’s blessing! thanks!

I went back, over and over, to try to pick a favorite, but I couldn’t. They are all amazing. Thanks for taking me on this trip. And I didn’t have to board a plane even once! (frightening! Keeps me from seeing so much :-(. )
Gemma, your personality always shines through your comments! Thank you so much for adding a part of your soul to this post! z
Great photos as usual!
thanks amiga
i’e been out of town (still am!) and have gotten behind on other posts. hope to catch up soon!
z
These are beautiful and are definitely lessons in perspective. Love the scenery from the various countries as well as sharing cultures. ( I got freshly pressed this week and am just now getting my head above water.)
Amiga! Congratulations! I’ve been travelling and working and have had little time online. I’m so sorry that I missed seeing your honor, and I’m so glad that you mentioned it! Congratulations congratulations congratulations!!!!! Z

I especially love the sea turtles – and the one of the man sitting on the rock. All great photos.
Thanks! Those little turtles are so precious when they scamper to their true home!
The man on the rock has the volcano concepcion behind him. with this week’s earthquake in costa rica, i’ve been fearful that the volcano might spit and spew a bit more. i’m told that ‘the sleeping giant’ didn’t awaken. thank goodness! z

Fabulous shots and you make me think of vacationing somewhere exotic. TY! 🙂
Thanks! You will surely be vacationing somewhere exotic soon! I loved all of your photos in this challenge – not sure which would be my favorite! I too am catching up, presently from the vantage point of my breakfast table at a hostal in Manta Ecuador. More soon, Z
Enjoy! And from your mouth to God’s ears on the exotic vacation bit. 🙂
You make me chuckle as I sit in this empty restaurant and catch up while the corner television sets features futbol hightlights of the past season! “Goooooooooooooooooooooallllllll!” 🙂
May your dreams and wishes be granted! Maybe you should request that desire with Lesley and Bucket List?!!! Z
A wonderful selection Lisa! The turtles and the boats just below are spectacular and just perfect for this challenge!
Thank you, amiga! Both of those experiences were special ones but of two totally-different moods. Witnessing the baby turtles is a moment of childlike wonder, while a mystical calmness casts its sunrise spell at the start of each day. Z

Great interpretation for Near and far theme ,well done my friend 🙂
All of your shots makes me want to be there! I particularly liked the conchs all lined up gazing off toward the horizon – or so I imagined.
Thanks! That’s a fun shot and would make a fun painting. My camera has also been on the blink – three weeks now, and i could find no one in guayaquil to fix it.. or for a fifty dollar non-refundable deposit, they would look at it.!
Today on the drive home from Manta, we probably saw eight burros -( my burro selection of images is lacking.)
As always, thanks so much for your comments! Z
