Photo stories

Stories

Six photo stories from across Nicaragua: colonial streets, volcanic nights, island lakes, surf towns, markets and wildlife.

Six places, walked slowly and photographed at the edges of the day. Start anywhere, but they read best in order, from the colonial blue hour of Granada to the green silence of the cloud forest.

01 Wildlife, Patience in the Green Howler monkeys, motmots and the slow art of waiting in the cloud forest. 02 Markets, Colour and Commerce at Dawn The crowded, fragrant markets of Nicaragua, photographed as they wake up. 03 The Pacific, Surf Towns at Gold Hour Dusty surf towns on the Pacific coast, photographed as the light turns to gold. 04 Ometepe, Two Volcanoes on a Lake An island of two volcanoes rising straight out of a freshwater sea. 05 Masaya, the Red Breath A lake of lava glowing inside the crater, photographed after dark. 06 Granada, the Painted Hours Colonial streets in colour, photographed from first light to the blue hour.
