Roatan sunset at Las Rocas metal print canvas print color photography night sunset ocean tropics

My name is Alec Halstead, and I've seen my fair share of challenges, both in my time serving as a veteran and in my everyday life. But amidst the chaos and turmoil, I've always found solace behind the lens of my camera, where beauty reveals itself even in the darkest of moments.

Last week, my family and I embarked on a journey to Roatan, an island oasis off the coast of Honduras. Our trip was fraught with obstacles from the start. Departing from a snow-covered Laguardia Airport in New York City, we encountered delays and setbacks that threatened to derail our plans. As snowflakes blanketed the tarmac and our plane sat grounded for hours, frustration brewed within me. Yet, despite the uncertainty, a glimmer of hope remained.

Miraculously, fate intervened in our favor. A series of fortuitous events—a mechanical issue delaying our connecting flight, a sprint through the airport—culminated in our arrival on the shores of Roatan. Stepping off the plane, I was enveloped by the island's warmth, the humid air heavy with the scent of tropical blooms.

Navigating customs with weary smiles, we made our way to Las Rocas, our waterfront sanctuary for the week. The sight of vibrant macaws soaring overhead welcomed us, their raucous calls a harbinger of the adventure to come. Exhausted yet exhilarated, we settled onto the sandy beach, the rhythmic crash of waves serenading us as the sun dipped below the horizon.

In that fleeting moment, as hues of orange and pink painted the sky, I felt a profound sense of gratitude wash over me. Despite the trials of our journey, we had arrived, united in our shared love for exploration and discovery. And as we watched the sun sink into the sea, I knew that this was just the beginning—a prelude to the countless wonders awaiting us on our Roatan escapade
