Nighttime in Rio Dulce
Amazing hotel on a swamp off a river in Guatemala. Little screened in platforms with very little privacy were scattered around, connected by wooden walkways a couple feet above the swamp. It was my first experience sleeping under mosquito nets. Nothing like rolling over to the side of the bed and getting a face full of old, gross netting in the middle of the night. Startling way to wake up!

stress of lights on the wood, just a little too white on my screen for the lamp, but not easy to monitor the lights...
That *would* be an interesting experience! The light on the limb is beautiful.
great lighting in this one! sounds like a fun place to sleep.
Oh! Nice!
Feels like I am in the jungle, on a small sleeping raft in a swamp!
What an atmosphere created by this light ... Well done !!! Great effect !!!
I have slept in the Mexican jungle before, Jewlya, without any netting or lamplight or walkways (no swamps). But I did have a cozy little fire, which lit up the trees like this. I suddenly remember that night from all these almost 40 years ago!
wow !! You must have had a wonderful time . Nice shot !!
bellissimo scatto! un'atmosfera fantastica!
One of those places where they shouldn't feed you baked beans
You are also lighting up darkness today
Really atmospheric photograph Jewlya but not my idea of a luxurious hotel room.
Very evocative of the jungle atmosphere - I can imagine the humidity and the buzz of insects.
Your description of the mosquito net is quite funny. I would think it beats not having one. I like the atmosphere of this shot.
Great atmosphere here, love the lighting, it will have been a great experience.
Great lighting. I love the atmosphere!
abstractly atractive, atmospheric and very good. mal
I love this lighting, Jewlya. I am sympathetic about mosquito netting. But as they love me too much, I will gladly take one.
Jewlya: lol, I feel that way too - the mosquitoes seem to find my blood quite tasty!
Very spooky in a cool way. Love the light.
This is lovely. Great play of lights and shadows.
Love the atmosphere of the photo.
The effect of the light on the tree, reminders me of an horror movie. Feel as if something is going to appear from behind it.
Nice shot.
Better than waking up to find you have repeatedly bitten in the night ;o)
Great photo and an adventurous place to stay ;o)
Lovely lighting on the tree. It must have been a great experience.
Photo et couleurs très étrange, bravo. Pascal
Very strange photograph and colours, bravo. Pascal
Looks like a movie set. Balance of light and shade is great.
Fantastic atmospheric picture, superbly done
Nicely done and quite unusual too : I like !
