The pontoon bridge(Koningin Emmabrug or Queen Anna Bridge) over the St. Anna Bay in Willemstad, Curacao is opening to let a ship pass. Once used for vehicles but now for pedestrians since the Koningin Julianabrug was built. Historic downtown Willemstad is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. The original bridge was built in 1888. It was restored in 2005. Once used for vehicles until the Queen Juliana Bridge was completed in 1974. #QueenEmmaBridge #PontoonBridge #Willemstad #Curacao #SantaAnnaBay #pont #Brücke #floating #FloatingBridge

A sailboat on the horizon at sunset with Saba Island in the distance. This view is from Maho Beach, Sint Maarten across Maho Bay and the Caribbean Sea. I think that's one of the sailing adventure boats that are available for day or hour excursions. This is a good spot at the Sunset Bar and Grill for plane watching. It's also great fro watching the cruise ships after they pull out of Philipsburg and head out to sea for the next island. #Saba #SintMaarten #SaintMartin #MahoBeach #CaribbeanSea #sunset #Insel #l'île #sea #mer #Meer #hav #海

 

Plane watching at sunset from the Sunset Bar & Grill on Maho Beach, Sint Maarten. When the ships are in it gets busy from the jetblast crowd. At sunset the ships pull out and it's a quieter world for sunset and plane watching. #SintMaarten #SaintMartin #MahoBeach #PlaneWatching #SXM

Watching the waves roll in on the Parasasa Beach under a grass umbrella in Curacao. Oblivious to the fact that a blizzard has the east coast snowed in and my flight has been cancelled. It all worked out though. #ParasasaBeach #Curacao #waves #CaribbeanSea #relaxation #海岸

Windward side of the island of Aruba. The wind on this side can be deafening. This side of the island takes the brunt of the wind and sea. Usually a steady seven knot wind blowing to the north leaves one side of the trees bare with all the leaves pointing to the north. If you ever get lost just look at a tree. It'll point to Palm Beach. Today the wind was a little stronger. These swells are about 12+ feet high. The leeward side up by Palm Beach is calm with barely any wind or waves. It is a beautiful island that rarely gets rain prompting them to have a water desalination plant that is one of the best in the world.

I'm ready for a vacation...beam me up, Scotty! Sunset Beach, St. Maarten, Dutch West Indies.

I couldnt believe my eyes as I stood watching this guy.....it was as if he was posing for me....just stretched out his wings as if to say "look at me".....or, "I think I'll head back to my sun lounger for a wee nap"!!

The view of Willemstad across Santa Anna Bay. This is the C in the ABC islands in the Caribbean Sea. Aruba and Bonaire make up the A and B. This is a great place to spend the day and watch the floating bridge. Check out the shops on the many side streets behind the colorful buildings. The was taken from the RIF Fort on the opposite side of the Santa Anna Harbor.

Fort Zoutman built by the Dutch in 1796.
