During my 2-week stay at Ilhas Desertas (11 nautical miles off Madeira), which can be translated to Deserted Islands, I saw... zero monk seals. I thoroughly watched the ocean for 5 hours a day on specific spots... still, not a glimpse. Bear in mind, though, that the small population of 20+ seals (in 1999) is spread in a natural reserve with 24000 acres.

Back in 1999...
To start with...
I still don't really know what first prompted me to create this blog...
Truth is this is one of those "projects" you manage the time to do, in spite of all the real projects you have to do. Classic.
The idea is somewhat similar to "Panoramio", but with the possibility to add some more words and... to have a black background (...).
I cherish all my photos (good and bad ones) of trips I have made, as they consistently remind me of good things ... sure enough, only a very small percentage makes the cut. These are the ones I will share on this blog.
Oh, and Mac is my boss/cat... to which a trip to the vet seems like traveling around the world.
