The beach at night
As all beaches are public in the Dominican Republic, the resorts that line the beach must guard against uninvited guests from entering their property on the water side. At our resort, they lit up the resort property line with bright lights that created a unique view of the trees. Each night a handful of security guards patrol this area allowing resort guests to pass freely and encouraging others to simply move along.

Resort Gardens
To my back is the beach, the pool, and the hundreds of resort guests talking, laughing, and enjoying every minute of their all-inclusive vacation. But in front of me is a tranquil scene of well manicured gardens bordered by a walkway reminiscent of ancient Roman aqueducts. This is why we chose this resort. All resorts have pools, beaches, and the like. This resort, with its beautiful architecture that co-exists peacefully with the landscape stands above the rest. We will be back.

Kite Surfing
Kite Beach, just outside of Cabarete in the Dominican Republic, is known as one of the best beaches in the world for the emerging sport of kite surfing. After several attempts, I was successful at catching this surfer as he jumped a wave and floated through the air. The wind in his kite carried him along and he appeared to be suspended indefinitely.

Beach Fishermen
Walking along a quiet beach on the north shore of the Dominican Republic I came across a father and his two boys fishing. Having taken the picture in a rushed and haphazard fashion, the result was wonderful and unexpected. While the reflection of the trio in the water may look planned it was purely accidental and suggests finding the right moment can be just as much luck as skill.

Escape from the all inclusive resort
On a short boat ride in the middle of a day-long, resort sponsored excursion, I had a window into the spirit of the Dominican Republic, if only for a few moments. Long gone were the sounds of amplified pop music, pool water splashing, and generous staff members attending to your every desire. All this was gone and it had been replaced by the calm breeze through the palms and the percussive sputtering of the small outboard engine. In this moment, on a slow ride down a lazy river, I truly relaxed and fell in love with the Dominican Republic.
