Puerto Rico 66! - Cerro Gordo

It wasn't one of the "big" plans, but it turned out to be the most photogenic. We wanted to go west, since we seemed to always going east (Kayaking, El Yunque, beaches). John found an interesting looking "mountain bike trail" in a place called Cerro Gordo. We never actually found anything resembling a "cerro," but we did find a beautiful trail.

The first excuse for tapping the camera icon was this not-so-welcome greeter. It basically said go away and leave me alone, or I will pinch Eleni. Some kind of crab that was living in an old snail shell.

Originally posted as "If Iguanas designed the rocks." These formations were found where the waves particularly pounded the land. If there were iguanas here (the forest behind was teeming with them), you'd never see the in this perfect camouflage. 

Two views of the same rock. One showing more sea, one showing more land. Both scenic in their own way.


A giant wave or a panoramic shot using a phone with very buggy software (Pixel 6 Pro)?

Who says the earth is not round? Certainly not my Pixel 6 Pro! I guess Google expects people to carry a pivoting phone mount to keep panorama shots straight.

Just another stunning view:


And the final stunning view on the walk. This photo came from my phone just like this. I think it looks a little fake because the software picked out Eleni and turned her pixels into a portrait and then pasted it back into the landscape. Maybe a lot of processing I didn't ask for, but this picture does look great.
