The 115 Seychelles islands straddle the equator nearly 1,000 miles off the east coast of Africa. Most are reachable only by charter flights or boats, and many are uninhabited. Talk about the perfect escape from the madness of civilization; Seychelles is it. The favorite island for photographers is La Digue, known for is pristine beaches, blue-green water, and virtually traffic-free town.
