About the Location: A little slice of heaven from this weekend in Kuna Yala off the northern Caribbean coast of Panama. The Kuna people are indigenous to parts of Panama and Colombia and a large number live on a series of islands where they trade goods, fish, and entertain the occasional gringo. Though the little cottages may look inviting, they were quite rustic. Just a wood box with bed, some mosquito netting and one light bulb at the end of a wire, swaying in the gentle breeze. But when you wake up to this scene, it sure feels luxurious!
About the Shot: With permission from the elders, I was able to fly above and around these beautiful islands. Taken just after sunrise while I was being eaten alive by prehistoric mosquitos, I was able to capture some great video and a few aerial shots of the island I spend the night, Wailidup.
