Another shot from our most recent Galapagos tour. We photographed this guy on North Seymour Island. He rose up momentarily to feed on this cactus.

A fine behaviour capture of this prehistoric looking creature Nate, amazing detail of the skin/hide structure and I'm fascinated by the almost honeycomb structure under the jawline.

Another outstanding shot with the Sigma. The colors, detail and composition are really nice.

The soft light is so pleasing here, not very common for this location and species. Cool behavior. I like the prickly pear pad coming in from the top, giving more context for the story.

Nice photograph Nate. I really like all of the fine details that you've captured here.
I would love the opportunity to see these animals (and the many other species) on the Galapagos some day!
