Until we meet again, Madagascar I realize I have been taking way too long sharing photos of Madagascar only. I figured sharing a few each time would be better to give it the proper attention, but I probably pushed it a little too far :)<br />
<br />
So here it is, the last in my series on Madagascar. It was a story worth telling, mostly because its wildlife is so unique, and so little information about it is online. I ended up with over 700 posted, about 150 different species, most unique to Madagascar, and 3 photo lists on Madagascar flowers, unique species and night shots. <br />

I hope to make a second visit to Madagascar (the North) one day. I only need to convince my girlfriend of that (who suffered quite a lot during some long hikes). Geotagged,Kirindy Reserve,Madagascar,Madagascar day gecko,Phelsuma madagascariensis madagascariensis Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

  1. Amazing detail, Ferdy .Beautiful in colors and dof. I for one love your Madagaskar shots, given any interval. The focus on the eye is well executed, telling a story of curious attraction. Posted 12 years ago
    1. Thanks Ludo! It actually took me 20 minutes to get this close to this gecko. They're very nervous :) Posted 12 years ago
  2. This has to be one of my all time favourite photos!
    I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your photos and descriptions of your exploits in Madagascar, it truly is an island of splendor, mystique and the most incredible creatures. Can't wait till you go back!
