We woke up in darkness, a cold darkness inside our cabins and started to prepare for our first hike. We just arrived late the prior night to Llano Grande one of the communities in the Pueblos Mancomunados, after a long travel day. Our first real views of the Sierra Norte awaited us still and we […]

Taking the Sunrise Photo Walk at the Lodge at Woodloch
by Craig Zabransky on June 28, 2020 in Sunset Sunday
This trip, the weekend at the Lodge at Woodloch located in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, was different. I expected such as it was my first time traveling again since the pandemic altered the travel landscape. What wasn’t different on this trip was missing the sunset at the lake. I missed it again. In prior […]

Sunset Sunday – A Tulum Sunrise for the New Era in the Mayan World
by Craig Zabransky on December 23, 2012 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
The sun rose on December 21st; the world didn’t end. Some feared the end with the “end” of the Mayan Calendar in 2012, but others welcomed it as a new era began. So to celebrate, honor, and welcome this shift in time, I wanted to share a rare (for me) sunrise (instead of a sunset) […]
The Morning March to the Tikal Temple Sunrise
by Craig Zabransky on May 29, 2012 in Destination
I used the light from my camera, peeled off 100 Quetzales and handed it over. He told me, “cien por persona.” He must have thought we were together. We weren’t. She paid her hundred and he continued to collect from the six or eight other people joining us. It was too dark to get an […]
