On the old city wall of Cartagena, Columbia, Angie Grams snapped this footo for our very first image from Colombia.

On the streets of Lisbon, Portugal, Ken Grams got some funny looks from passers-by as he snapped this footograph!
All that's missing is the bottle of Corona! Actually, this is Montego Bay, Jamaica so a bottle of Red Stripe would be more in order for this footograph submitted by Jamie Williams.
The best way to see Jamaica is by Zipline! Jamie Williams takes a treetop tour of the jungle snapping this footograph along the way. Awesome!
This footo shows how much equipment is necessary to make the zipline tour of Jamaica possible - and safe!

At Junkanoo Beach on Grand Bahama Island, the 2008 Bahamas Weather Conference comes to a close. Everyone was barefoot in the sand - and Dave Mazza grabbed this footo of the band and crowd.
It's no so much the Junkanoo Beach Bar on Grand Bahama Island that is famous -it's the fact that they ran out of Bahamian Beer (Kalik, Sands, Eclipse) and Dava Mazza was forced to drink that imported Heineken stuff. A Bahamian Bar with no Bahamian Beer is historic (maybe we should've put this footo in historic footographs!).
On the beaches of sunny Jamaica, KC relaxes for another beautiful sunset.
