Dominican Republic, Guatemala, & Honduras

A trip to the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and Honduras provided plenty of picture-taking opportunities.  In the DR, my wife and I stayed with my sister who is currently living in Santo Domingo.  We visited Lake Enriquillo, where I photographed crocodiles and iguanas.  On the other side of the island we went to Samaná to watch whales in an area where the whole North Atlantic population of Humpbacked Whales winters. 

On the second portion of our trip, we visited Mayan ruins in Tikal, Guatemala and Copan, Honduras.  We spent additional time in Guatemala’s old city of Antigua and on Lake Atitlán (which some scholars believe could be the Waters of Mormon).  Picture-taking opportunities included significant cultural spots, interesting flora and fauna, and the colorful people. 

Here is a sampling of photos from our trip.
