Description
"The fundamental delusion of humanity is to suppose that I am here and you are out there" ~ Yasutani Roshi, Zen master (1885-1973)
ALOHA! For my 900th photo I thought I would finish up an old series rather than do a retrospective collage as I have done in the past. It gives me some peace of mind as this has been nagging at me for, well... about 2 years now. Some of you may remember that I did a Tiki series after a trip to St. Augustine. You can view the old images by clicking HERE. I had some left over from that set so I put them all together here. I also left the backgrounds in this time to give each one a better sense of place. You may notice that the bamboo screen in the left most photo was lifted to create the background for the Tiki galleries. On our last day in St. Augustine Lisa and I ate at a place called the Conch House Marina Resort & Restaurant. The food was good and the bay side view was lovely so if you are ever in the area, try to stop in for a bit and get a fish sandwich and conch fritters. There were tons of Tiki statues all around created by a local woodworker. I think I got most of them in my series, and above you see the final four. At last I can sleep soundly at night. ;'P Thank you all for your support, comments and critiques over the years. You make having a gallery here at Renderosity a pleasure! Please be sure to view it FULL SIZE for the best detail. -----

Wow! Thor Heyerdahl, where are you now that we need you? Great capture of these magnificent carvings. But now, will they survive the unstoppable onslaught of the Lygodium microphyllum fern that is devastating your Everglades National Park, and, eventually, the rest of Florida?

....??? ....900 photos ?!?! ----- holy s**t !----- that's incredible, Kort --- how long would it take for someone to view your entire gallery ? ...( with scheduled snack breaks ) --- I'm too lazy to do the math ...but it would be a marathon for sure...... ever delete one ? .....anyway -- you're a Renderosity institution , I think ...........gotta get started on viewing the whole gallery --- better make some popcorn first.
