Photographer's Note
An early arrival from the sea on an island is always a most pleasant moment ... first you can see the silhouette of the island then the shores.
Here is the arrival in a Caribbean island, Saint Thomas and the port of the small town of Charlotte Amalie.
Welcome to Saint Thomas, an island in the United States Virgin Islands.

Salut Jean,
Comme les bateaux sont répartis sur l'eau, les nombreuses maisons sont parsemées sur la crête et le sommet de la montagne verte.
Magnifique!!!
Cependant, j'avais imaginé une 'île vierge' différemment :)
Amicalement, Paul

Hello Jean,
I like the contrast between the green hill and the blue sea, and also between the white villas and the white boats. The small boat that seems to go quite fast towards the port is the cherry on the cake for the composition. The fine light and crispy colours also make the photo highly enjoyable.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Jean,
The green hill seems to be very neatly sandwiched between the beautiful blues of the sea and the sky; it's a beautiful piece of scenery!
I like how the wake of the boat has such a strong effect, guiding towards the shore.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

A well allocated picture space from sea to mountains, Jean, and show the many boats and houses under bright light.
Stunning blue...

Hello Jean,
This is what I called 'A Welcoming' virtual shot.
The dotted boats in the blue sea leading up to the dotted houses on the green mountain is so inviting and invigorating.
I think I'll have a blast in this island with lots of Rum's cocktail.
Thanks for sharing.

Bonjour Jean,
Tu as bien capturé le déplacement du bateau. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails des bateaux et d'une partie de l'île. La lumière fait ressortir les couleurs. Bonne journée.

Hello Jean,
What an amazing view of the green islands and the very blue sea in front of it. The white boat stand out well from the water, just as the house form many nice orange, yellow and white dots against the trees on the slopes.

a fantastic image, another island in the collection. haha.
the blue of the sea is fantastic, we can see how many houses are hidden in the middle of the forest, maybe the richest ones.
take care

Hi Jean
Yes, i've heard about these Virgin Islands, there are a number of them. Is Saint Thomas the most touristy of the group? striking shot with the bright blues and greens contrasting each other so well, and it just has an overall Peaceful feel to it.
cheers

Jean, we rarely see the American Virgin islands on Te, thanks to post this photo. This archipelago mainly receives wealthy tourists. Some luxurious sailing boats are moored in Saint Thomas bay. Superb global view of the town. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Bonjour Jean,
what an amazing destination, not very popular on TrekEarth.
Great capture here with the repeated motif of the yacht.
They make a nice repeated pattern on the blue waters here. The motorboat entering the scene adds a nice dynamic touch.
Excellent capture,
M
