    These are prett cool. I really like the gazebo shot with the bright foreground and the impending doom of the dark sky in the background.

    I want to cry looking at those pictures. It's been my dream for years just to step on a tropical beach. :(

    I love #3 and the last one. The only qualm I have with the last one is that the second palm tree is cropped off. But that's of no consequence, it is still my favorite of these. I LOVE the tropics.

    Thanks, yes I took these shots on a normal day also but the sky looked washed out. The difference in the sky, background and foreground before the storm gave the picture some natural contrast

    Yes, this is a great place and just prior to the Hurricane hitting the beaches were deserted and beach chair free. Not often you get the chance to get shots like these without the people and the clutter.thumb.gif


    Wonder what it looked like after the stormsne_nau.gif
