DREAM BEACH rock formations (Photo Painting)

For good reasons, one of the most famous tropical beaches in the world: "Anse Source d'Argent", La Digue. Planning is important; for great pictures, come either early in the morning, or late in the afternoon. (La Digue, Seychelles, June 2012 - Image ID: 201206-SC-26)

Palm Tree Treasure Island St. Pierre

Enjoy reading pirate books? Then you might have the same association when spotting St. Pierre island. Thanks to the captain who took just the right course to align its' silhouette with the one of Praslin in the background. (St. Pierre Island, Seychelles, June 2012 - Image ID: 201206-SC-19)

Branch of a coconut palm tree on a tropical beach

I found this highly decorative natural piece of art on one of the most famous tropical beaches in the world: “Anse Source d'Argent” on La Digue. Whilst most people just walked by without paying much attention, I couldn’t resist to take a number of pictures. (La Digue, Seychelles, June 2012 - Image ID: 201206-SC-17)

Seychelles Pitcher Carnivorous Plant

An endemic species to the Seychelles, found on Mahe Island during a long hike through the tropical forest. (Mahe, Seychelles, June 2012 - Image ID: 201206-SC-16)

Blue Hour Island View

No! I did not stay on this tiny island, just offshore the Northern part of Praslin. But I did enjoyed the view together with a nice meal at a beach restaurant (Praslin, Seychelles, June 2012 - Image ID: 201206-SC-10)

Spectacular teeth-shaped rock on Laraie beach

One highlight of our catamaran trip was the stop at Laraie Bay on Curieuse Island. And what a surprise it was to discover these rocks that look like a giant predator had lost his teeth. (Curieuse, Seychelles, June 2012 - ImageID: 201206-SC-08)

Green frog overlooking the pool

Not really its natural habitat, but this frog clearly felt very comfortable both at and in the swimming pool of our inn. (La Digue, Seychelles, Juni 2012 - ImageID: 201206-SC-03)

Spectacular teeth-shaped rock on a beach (Photo Painting)

It was a great decision to take the catamaran trip, since the amazing Laraie Bay on Curieuse is mainly accessible by boat. And what a surprise it was to discover these rocks that look like a giant predator had lost his teeth. (Curieuse, Seychelles, June 2012 - Image ID: 201206-SC-22)

Tropical Raindrops Beach

Tropical rain falling onto a deserted beach on Mahe Island. Instead of just staying in the hotel, this weather provided different photo opportunities. (Mahe Island, Seychelles, June 2012 - Image ID: 201206-SC-15)

Three Raindrops Resting on a Leaf

Rainy days offer unique photo opportunities: I found these three raindrops just outside the hotel in its' lush tropical garden. (Mahe Island, Seychelles, June 2012 - Image ID: 201206-SC-14)

Tropical Forest and Rocks on the Beach

Amazing natural "skyline", to be appreciated only by boat. The different shades of green nicely combine with the colour of the water and the rocks. (Curieuse, Seychelles, June 2012 - Image ID: 201206-SC-11)

Strong waves hitting rocky La Digue shores

Coconut palmtrees on a sandy beach

To find this place so empty, you have to get up early. On such a walk I found these two "travel-catalogue grade" coconut palmtrees on a sandy beach on Praslin Island. (Praslin, Seychelles, June 2012 - Image ID: 201206-SC-05)

Lizzard walking on a colourful transparent leaf

Whilst hiking in the "Vallee de Mai" Nature Reserve, I spotted a lizzard on this Autumn-coloured leaf. In order to do something different, I took the image from below against the sunlight. (Vallee de Mai, Seychelles, June 2012 - Image ID: 201206-SC-04)

Now this is a real fruit salad!

In the colorful markets on the Seychelles, you will find a huge variety of tropical fruit, absolutely fresh and delicious in taste (Praslin, Seychelles, Juni 2012 - Image ID: 201206-SC-02)

Orange beach towel "on the rocks"

Admittedly not the most comfortable (because very hard!) place, but a fantastic sunbathing location with a view. (Praslin, Seychelles, Juni 2012 - Image ID: 201206-SC-01)
