An Expedition Called Life

Hinano.  A great local beer from Tahiti!

~ Tahiti, French Polynesia

Bora Bora Landscape.  This is paradise people!  This landscape says it all.  I don’t know what I will do next time I want to take a vacation somewhere warm! I don’t foresee anything being able to beat the time we spent in French Polynesia, in paradise.

Snorkelling off the shore, a couple hundred metres off the coast of Bora Bora, a lone forceps fish swims along the reef and graciously turned to the side and posed for this shot!

Into the Blue. A local Polynesian paddles off in the Pacific Ocean in one the traditional Polynesian canoes.

Decomposition.  An old random truck left to mother nature to take care of.

~ Moorea, French Polynesia

Dinner @ Lagoon, St. Regis Bora Bora.  The Lagoon Restaurant was offering the New York Spice Market menu by Jean George while we were there, amazing!  Imagine a restaurant sitting over the waters of the South Pacific in Bora Bora with wild marine life under you! The food was amazing but the location was even better.

Christmas Tree Worm.  Here is a bunch of little Christmas Tree Worms on top of some coral.  Any time you move your hand near them they shrink back into the coral instantaneously.  You will notice they are in pairs, each “tree” being one of the ends of the worm.

Puffer.  One of the many Puffer fish in Bora Bora in a great little lagoon.

Polynesian Statues.  Outside one of a local shops in Moorea I saw these little guys, they are pretty cool!

Serenity.  Here is one that I personally really like. A lone sailboat in the South Pacific off the coast of Tahiti with a sliver of the island of Moorea in the distance. These colours are not exaggerated either, this was beautiful sunset.  It doesn’t get much more peaceful then this!
