The Dark Traveler by Mary Kay

Left alone to disintegrate on a windblown, misty beach in Peloponnese, the shipwreck of Dimitrios proved to be every bit as enchanting as in my dreams. Haunting and haunted, broken but not yet dead, it still stands upright, a ghostly mirage condemned to travel forever through misty mornings, fiery sunsets and sunrises, through rain and thunderstorms, gloomy skies and starry nights, through time but never through space, never leaving the place that’s been eating it away for almost 30 years now.

The Swamp by Marsel van Oosten

This was shot just after sunrise in the Menabe region of western Madagascar. These baobab trees are of the species Adansonia grandidieri and are endemic to Madagascar. Baobab trees – about 30 meters in height and up to 800 years old – are known locally as renala (Malagasy for “mother of the forest”), are a legacy of the dense tropical forests that once thrived on Madagascar.
