Mauritius + Photoshop = this gallery

There were a number of really interesting photos I took in Mauritius – here are a few that I cleaned up an enhanced in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop that I think are particularly share-worthy – enjoy!

Rum tasting on our last night.

Le Morne

Ghost crab

The rough southern shore. The pine trees near the beach show that it gets a little bit windy there from time to time.

Crystal and Kai walking back to the villa. Crystal had a knack for finding the sharpest rocks with the soles of her feet.

Kai at the resort hoping that lunch will not involve raw fish. Meals tended to involve a lot of raw fish, often when not expected.

Horseback Riding in Mauritius

Since returning home I’ve had a chance to download pictures off the big camera and run them through Lightroom for some cleanup and enhancement. Here is the first of several galleries – we took Kai and Nora down the coast to a stables and they went on an hour long ride on the beach. Crystal and I stayed behind so most of these pictures were taken by photographer who accompanied them.
