After a very long journey down close to the equator, no wonder it is hard to decide how to turn the camera.

Guess what we found?

Simon is trying to sit on the wave. Not very successful?
![cr11](http://gordonskalleberg.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cr11.jpg)
Oh, yes!

The artist is humbly riding a baby wave…

Somehow I am always late in life. Started late with art, surfing debut in middle age…
![cr14](http://gordonskalleberg.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cr14.jpg)
Say hello, smile.
![cr15](http://gordonskalleberg.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cr15.jpg)
More succesful without a surfboard.

Maybe I should paint this?
![cr17](http://gordonskalleberg.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cr17.jpg)
I can still laugh, there is hope…

Andrea is showing off great potential and fixin´ to get bruised.

Crowding the water for a morning surf lesson.

Early morning on the great Santa Teresa beach.

Beauty on the beach, returning after a long morning walk.
![cr22](http://gordonskalleberg.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cr22.jpg)
A moment of up-side-down contemplation.
![cr23](http://gordonskalleberg.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cr23.jpg)
More relaxed contemplation… man, life can be sooo hard.

Walking on holy ground, with Deck flip-flops by surf legend Herbie Fletcher.

It takes a very long time for nature to make holes like these.
![cr26](http://gordonskalleberg.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cr26.jpg)
But it takes only a moment to detect beauty!
![cr27](http://gordonskalleberg.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cr27.jpg)
Of course I am talking about the pelicans. What did you think, baby?

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Our proud neighbour George.

The howling monkeys kept us awake!
![cr30](http://gordonskalleberg.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cr30.jpg)
There is a time to count your blessings…
![cr31](http://gordonskalleberg.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cr31.jpg)
… and there is a time to go home.
