The photos continue……….

The window garden with sunflower seeds sprouting

Volcanic peaks of Nicaragua

Scattered clouds, but no rain

Clear day, once the smoke blew away

Mangroves near the port

Largest volcano – San Cristobal, we believe

Most volcanoes are dormant

Choppy waters in the harbor – very windy at times

A few clouds casting shadows on the mountain

A very large wall art

Clock tower marks the center of town

Statue and lighthouse on the spit

Might be a good sunset

Pier dog

Decorations for the sail away party

Puerto Corinto

Storage sheds on the pier

Many fishing boats

A cargo ship was being off-loaded

Definitely smoke coming from this volcano

Fishing boat

Fishing the old-fashioned way

Two boats meeting

Largest building in town

Mufflers from the power plant

Pelican in flight

Always on the hunt

Fishing nets in this boat

Too many people in this boat

Smoking…..not inactive

More boats coming out of the mangroves

Peregrine falcon – what a treat to see

Falcon in flight

Yes, it is going to be a spectacular sunset

Colors are due to dust and smoke particles in the air

The only positive side of pollution – good sunsets

Going down fast

Dipping below the smoke

No "green flash" this evening

Last of the rays

Slipping away

Almost gone

That's it

The afterglow

Unloading continued through the night

The party was over

Pier buildings at night

Leaving the port of Corinto

Shoreside building

Costa Azul Restaurant – where we ate lunch today

Two cafes here

The only nice cafes in town

Is that the moon or lava flow???


The moon rising behind the volcano

Has got to be a full moon

Impressive orange color

The lower the moon, the deeper the color

Moon over the harbor

The lighthouse marked the entrance

Still can see the peaks at night

Moon's reflection in the water

Doesn't get much better

Tugboat and pilot boat

Moon over Corinto
