The Toro Negro Forest (Bosque Estatal de Toro Negro in Spanish) is located in the south/central part of the island. It actually is comprised of a number of different "forests" spread out across a few towns in the central mountain range (Central Cordillera). All together, it adds up to about 6945 acres of land. Within the various forest regions, there are some "points of interest" — the Doña Juana waterfall, the highest point on the island, camping facilities, hiking trails, rivers and charcos (natural swimming pools). You have the opportunity to see many species of trees, orchids, other plants, birds and animals. Enjoy!!! For many people, The North and South Bubbles are synonymous with a visit to Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park. They are so prominent on the northern horizon and reflected on the surface of the pond that they rule the visual terrain. The North Bubble has the highest elevation at 872 feet. The South Bubble follows at 766 feet. Enjoy!!! The Bubbles and Jordan PondFor this one I was attending a long exposure class with a fellow photographer near Aguirre, a small town in southern Puerto Rico. The weather was particularly sunny with a chance of rain. We were monitoring the weather when suddenly, a thunderstorm moved in. Just before it poured down, I managed to snap this one. There's a lot of drama in that sky! Enjoy!!! As The Storm Moves InPortland Breakwater Lighthouse was built in 1875 and is one of Maine's most elegant lighthouses. Though modeled on an ancient Greek monument, it was built with plates of cast iron. It was dubbed "Bug Light" due to its small size. Enjoy!!! Bug LightThis is all that is left of a Pier used during the sugar cane production years in Santa Isabel, Puerto Rico. Once a very important piece of economic importance, now reduded to ruins that don't let us forget the past. Enjoy!!! Old Sugar Cane Pier |
