So here it is:
The photo was taken early one morning in a canoe, when I was trekking through the Amazon. We had left our sleeping quarters under darkness to go caimen spotting with torches. After a few hours we made our way to a large opening in the river to admire the sun rise. As always I had my camera close by.... and I took this photo.
I don't know why, but this photo always relaxes me. It takes me straight back to the happy feelings I had when I took the photo. An experience that I will never forget, and by having it as my laptop background, it is a way of reminding me of what life is really all about.
I am supposed to pass this meme onto other, but I have been reading your posts and most have you have already received it from other sources - so, I will open up the invitation to anyone who hasn't done it yet but would like to.
Best wishes ~ Graham

Oh, gosh, this pictures is amazing ! I'm so jealous... I once took a very nice sunset pic but not as good as this one.
I can't do sunrise. I sleep at that time. Must be why. :D
I absolutely adore the background image. It's stunningly beautiful!
What a beautiful picture! I can see why you posted it for your desktop.
Sun rise in Amazon!! It looked so unreal!! Woww...
wow that was quite fast. i guess you're better at assignments than i am (obviously..lol). look at that scenery! it must be great to see that in your computer everyday. i knew i didn't make a mistake tagging you :) !!!
Amazing pic Graham! I am sure it truely captures a moment of your life where everything seemed in place and making absolute sense. As you said, "this is what truely matters in life".
It isnt as good as my desktop's killer ninja squirrel of course but second place isnt bad dude, LOL.
Take care!
My God, that's a beautiful picture. Sometimes I read these little blurbs about your life travels and can't believe one man has seen so many amazing things. I know your life hasn't always been easy, but kudos to living it to the fullest!
Zhu, lol! Yes, I prefer to sleep too. There is something about sunsrises and sunsets that captures my imagination. The toruble is, I end up taking hundreds of photos over a matter of minutes, as the sky changes colour. I guess that is the value of the digital age.... you can just delete the crappy ones off.
Thanks for the kind comment.
