Virgin Islands · 04:16 PM

Had occasion to go back and scan a few slides from a 1993 trip to the Virgin Islands. Here's a wish-we-were-there shot of Mango Bay, BVI.

That is a gorgeous, bright and colourful landscape. Thanks for sharing.

**MSL** · 05-13-2012, 08:00 PM

Now that's a blue sky!

**Bob Harris** · 05-13-2012, 08:05 PM

Walt, I wish I was there too, great shot of a beautiful area.

**eaglem** · 05-13-2012, 08:19 PM

Very nice, clear water great colour.

Thanks to everyone for comments. Note too, the beach is deserted - we had it entirely to ourselves. The water temp was pleasantly tepid. Just walk in, no chill such as we get from New England lakes even in August.

ok yes I wish I was there - you got me. Gorgeous area.

**WPRESTO** · 05-14-2012, 08:25 AM

Glad you enjoyed this photo, and I'm thinking maybe it's time to go again. Of the Virgin Islands, the one we really liked was Virgin Gorda, BVI.
Maybe I should post a few more, but I must scan the chromes.

I've never seen a better Caribbean sea/landscape. Beautiful shot, beautiful job.

Thanks for compliment, but it was mostly luck - right place at right moment.
