architect based in Riga, LatviaMy wife and I spent two
weeks in Palau, hiking,
visiting monoliths and
diving with manta rays and
sharks. I took this shot on
board a small Cessna plane
above the Seventy Islands, a
small island group in the
Rock Islands archipelago.
As they’re off limits to
visitors, the Seventy Islands
can only be seen from the
air. We waited five days for
clear skies, before flying up
and seeing these
unbelievable views of
bright-blue waters dotted
with wrecks, mushroom-
like islands and famous
diving sites. It was the
high point of our amazing
trip, and a summary of all
the places we’d been. I still
get goosebumps looking at
this picture.SEVENTY ISLANDS,
