Camp - Day 1This was our first camp taken in the morning just before breakfast was served. From my tent in the background you can tell I didn't expect it to rain.

Beached Boats - 2Our empty boats, tied off, Day 1 camp in the morning. This is the second of two of these at different F-stops. The first one is the most dramatic, I think, but you make up your own mind.
