Hello and welcome to my Blog!
So glad you have found your way here. Perhaps its by way of the cards I hand out. Maybe you are a passenger I have had on board or possibly I have tagged you in a picture that I posted to facebook! Well no matter how you found your way here I happy you've found the time to check out some of the images I captured while touring the Maldives.
My wife and I are both photographers who own and operate a Studio in Victoria BC, Canada.SophiePhoto ! We are both passionate about the work we do and I think it shows!
Another week as come and gone. In my last post I wrote about my walk to work and how I felt it a bit surreal as I walk along listening to a great Canadian band "The Tragically Hip". This week I have tell you how surreal it felt to be listening to the Vancouver Canucks on CFAX as I went to work on the "fiver". Its a shame they lost though! Game 7 tomorrow!
Anyway enough of that its on to the images.
As the title of this post suggests the weather is a changing!The Western Monsoon is taking over the calm seas that we have enjoyed over the past month or so! The first of my images this week are from the remaining calm while the last ones are of the mighty Twin Otter at its best!

It's amazing to me how these Atolls are so symmetrically shaped on the defining edges . Here is the Faavu Atoll as I look to the North.
I am sure if you looked them from high above it would appear as if a knife cut a long them in a precise and decisive manner.
As you can see from this shot of the South Male Atoll there is a ring of coral reefs and Islands that surround a smattering of other reefs. It seems that all of the Atolls have this in common. A definitive edge surrounding a random grouping of islands and ringed coral reefs. Truly a spectacle I feel lucky to have seen!
The water so calm and inviting with little hint of what is to come. Soon the Western Monsoon will invade this tranquil setting and remind us all what power the Indian Ocean can bring.
Diverging slightly now to bring an image of the capital city Male'. A mosaic of colours and shapes. Like a crazy looking jigsaw puzzle randomly put together.
The airport in Male'. Ah yes a hint of the Western Monsoon as the storm clouds pass from West to East just North of the airfield.
I love this picture! The Dhoni reflected in the glassy Indian Ocean.
Catamarans all done for the day!
Wish you were here darling! Soon I will be swinging on a hammock back home and I would argue with just as good a view. None the less a great way to watch the sunset at Soneva!
So this is what it looks like when its calm!
And this is what its like when its not!
A true testimony to the engineers at De Havalind all those many years ago! Not to mention Pratt and Whitney and Wipline. I would also have to say the specialist' who fly them as well!
Skimming the tops or as we like to say tickling the tops just prior to stopping in a distance that I think even helicopter pilots would be impressed with, right Dad?!
The wind is as much fun for us as it is for these guys!
I think it is hard for anyone to look away from this pretty bird settling on the water, even if you have seen it so many times before!Well that's it for this week! Hope you enjoyed it!
Till the next time so long from the Maldives.
Rob
One of the barefoot pilots!
