My memories of Seychelles

Time of travel: December 2003

This trip was actually family vacation for new years and I remember that I just got my first DSLR. It was Canon EOS 300D with EF-S 18-55 kit lens. But it was the trip to China in 2007 that really started that passion in me for photography. Seychelles are a magical place.
