The laziest Nature Photographer in the world

He goes, of course to the Galapagos Islands during his vacations, where he takes in at a hotel with all rights. 

Then he plants his fat Bermuda shorts-cased butt in a chair, waiting for the small ones to come to him. And he has a lot of sugar. If thats the reason why the bird decided to solve his table, or if there is a desire for a life in the limelight, is not known. 

The Photographer 'works'  at the Natural History Museum in Oslo.

The Park Assist

Among the water park agency's many employees in Quito, we have this guy. Every time I jog around the park Carolina on my tired legs, he stands there. Indefatigable in the same position, in sunshine or in rain. 

But that is life for the poor in Ecuador. It must be working late and early in order to maintain the family's subsistence. His miserable payouts are enough microscopic compared with the water company boss invoice for the consumption of water.

Closing the tap

It is wet enough in Quito during the rainy season, if not some even forget to turn off this tap.

No, it is sealed, thank Good. This is simply a monument erected by the Water Supply Manager of Quito, probably over himself. A small park near his office is devoted to this excelent liquid.

As you well should be aware of: Water is power!

Revenge!!!

Along the Ecuadorian coast and particularly in the city of Guayaquil, people go crazy then the crab season of the year begins. Armed with clubs they attack the poor animals. They smash their heads, maim them, for at the end devour them.

It had to happen sooner or later. Crabs got enough. The picture is one of them got hold of his assailants club. Which that followed was not a pretty sight.

An Offer You can't refuse

One of the most exotic part of life in Ecuador, is the price of adult soft drinks.

 Just watch this gorgeous statement. A bottle of vodka for only $ 7.07.

As this weren't not enough, you get a quart of orange juice for free! Very thoughtful and responsable of the supermarket. Pure vodka is not too good for your stumack.

The Party Bus

The Party is in the middle of the street. On the bus. These coloful "chiva"buses are patrolling the streets of quito everey weekend. Everyone can join.

Dancing and cheering, with latino pop on its highest volume, there is no chance left for a middleaged/ old man to get a sleep.

In connection with the celebration of the Quito days, they also run daytime. So much for the after-noon nap....

Poodle missing in Quito

This is the cutest one today.

Discretly on a wall, near the church Basilica Voto Nacional in Quito we see it.

"Help me home. My name is Peluchin and I am the hole life of my little master, who si suferring because I am lost. Please call....."

Ecuador-Life wishes good luck and a recent solution of the problem. Otherwise it will be one of those strokes that are sure to harden the young master later in life ...
