Cervantes, Western Australia
The town of Cervantes is filled with Spanish allusions, right down to the street names.
I like taking flash photos of reflective street signs at night.
The signs come out clearly and the rest of the world disappears.

With tremendous thanks to my traveling partner, Aaron Peterson.
Also thanks to Karen, Brian and Toby, the angry dog, who rescued us when we ran out of gas.
To Janet Chan, who selected me to feed the dolphins at Monkey Mia.
To Paul Mason, who let us couchsurf in his house and fed us delicious crabs that he had caught.
And to the many super-friendly people we met in Western Australia.
