Cruise ship in port
Coral World and Magens Bay are just a short distance from there and can be covered with a local tour company.
The local cemetery is interesting, all the burials are above ground because of the possibility of flooding, as you can see, graffiti artists take advantage of the opportunity to show off their skills.
Growing up on a dairy farm in southeastern Indiana, Gary traveled very little until midlife, when the opportunity became available to him.
Grabbing his camera and a bag full of equipment, he began his vision quest traveling to most areas of the United States and several countries abroad.
Along the way he collected several thousand photographs that he wants to share with everyone.
Gary decided the best way to accomplish his goal was to publish photo documentaries on the various areas of the world he has visited.
What will follow will be several photography books, who knows how many will wind up in his collection.
