Blue


I just got a new red filter for my underwater housing, so hopefully the blue scuba shots will be a little more colorful in the future.  I like the blue (in the water and the fins / wetsuit) in this shot, I only wish I hadn't cut off the last part of the fins.

Locked



These windows have the typical lock mechanism that you see on buildings all over the VIs - solid metal bar across the opening.  I'm not sure why this style is so popular here, but I suppose it is quite effective with the heavy shutters that adorn most structures.

Cruise Ship


The Norwegian Pearl leaving harbor.  Cruise ship traffic is definitely picking up - the traffic downtown can be disastrous as a result.  (Luckily I don't have to go that way very often.)

Palm Trees


A nice little powerboat nestled between some palm trees on Hans Lollik.  That's the north side of St Thomas in the background.

St Croix


Looking west from Christiansted harbor.  The water in the harbor is incredibly clear, especially when you compare it to Red Hook or Charlotte Amalie.
