Special night
The kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra) was in bloom, and I had had my fill of photographs during the day. It turns out that nocturnal pollinators are the great attraction of a flowering Ceiba. And even more, it is not every year that this magnificent tree blooms. My son Geo, an Italian friend, Michele, and I, we climbed the tree in the middle of the night to observe and record the great feast of a huge population of insects and bats, visiting the flowers that are generous with pollen and nectar. The tree in the photo is the «Puppet», a 30 meter young kapok tree. More photos from this special night to come…

Kings and presidents
A night climb is one more emotion in an activity that already contains a lot of emotion in itself… the forest at night is an orchestra without pause, at full volume, oh yes! Much more than during the day. There was a very popular jungle hotel there, frequented by kings and presidents. I lived there for about three years taking pictures and leading clients to the treetops.
