Tres Palapas


Palapas - always a welcome sight... Shade and who know what else they might provide. This was an un-posed spontaneous shot of my brother passing three empty palapas on our way sea kayaking to the Delta last spring. Just north of San Felipe...

Great ocean-going kayak photo, Greg. Looks like you and your partners can spend a few days on the water with all that storage!

Greg, picky, twitchy people would call those ramadas. They would be right.

That is a fantastic photo Greg. That image should be a Baja icon. Great composition, color, subject matter. Bravo!

Nice long horizontal patterns support the sense of peace that the paddler emanates.

Good one, Greg!

everything on the beach down here...

a ramada is more "bandstand-like"

That could be the kayaking magazine photo of the year. Perfect.

I think its Ramada. Well, maybe not. I'll ask The Ramada Inn hotel/motel chain. They wouldn't spend billions, then mis-name their endeavor.

Thanks everyone! The more I look at it the more I like it too. Since we didn't get to do our spring trip this year I've been living Baja through last years trip photos...

Udo - if you every get the chance to do a multi-day trip, it's well worth it! I understand that there are outfitters in both Loreto and La Paz who take care of all the details and all you have to do is enjoy the padlle... :yes::bounce:

Bob and Susan,

I think they call that a gazebo here in the states.

I've alway liked that word: gah-zee-boh.

Time for my morning coffee.
