CRUISING THE GALAPAGOS

Silk 

 

They were given a gift - isolation from human beings.  No airport on the islands.  No flights onto of off.  Far from the mainland. They didn't know enough to be afraid.

 

It was like stepping into a fairytale. One in which all species lived together in harmony.  They were unafraid and would drag themselves up in the boats, onto the sidewalks, wherever they could find a space to relax. And relax they did. 

This guy was sunning himself on a small boat in the harbor. He didn't flinch as I walked by.  He opened  one eye, glanced over in my direction, then went back to sleep. 

i wanted to capture that - the beauty of naïveté. (Because I had heard that an airport was being built. And that made me very sad)
