St. Maarten, continued…

There were lots of photo ops. In fact, I could turn into one of those people who makes little forward progress because they are too busy taking pictures. That used to drive me crazy with other people, so I try not to overdo it.

Sometimes I like to play with filters or other editing options. (Camera+ has some really great built-in editing features.) There is never only one perfect choice so it’s hard to know when to stop..

This photo in color is not nearly as good…

The same is true with this photo. In black and white is looks very retro.

There was one wall with a broken glass bottle ridge along its top that looked like dangerous flowers.

It was more interesting in black and white.

Sint Maarten…

AKA St Maarten, is an island in the Caribbean that is split between the Netherlands and France. We stayed on the Dutch side, at Dawn Beach. By ‘we’, I mean Julie, Wayne, Steve, and me.

We were in an lovely condo and could look out from the living room onto the balcony, over the next building to the ocean. I’m not sure why, but I really liked the view through the doors to the balcony.

This was our view…

Even the cloudy days were beautiful…

In case you are wondering, I took all of these photos with my iPhone using the Camera+ app.

We walked on the beach…

I’ll post more photos from our trip over the next few days. It’s nice to re-visit the ocean!
