Gone to See the Caribbean Islands. Semester at Sea Spring 2010 Enrichment Voyage on the MV Explorer. Ultimate Travel Photography Workshop with Michael Mariant. Day 10: Kralendijk, Bonaire.

I found this Fip-Flop graveyard while photographing a lighthouse in Bonaire. I have no idea why all of these shoes are here — and if they were from tourists or locals lost on the beach.

Wednesday (02-June-2010) — Granada

Gone to See the Caribbean Islands. Semester at Sea Spring 2010 Enrichment Voyage on the MV Explorer. Ultimate Travel Photography Workshop with Michael Mariant. Day 7: St. George’s, Granada.

We spent the day doing a walkabout in St. Georges. The objective for the day was “street photography”. Three of the main churches were still missing their roofs after a hurricane several years earlier. This photo is of the pastor at the Episcopal Church.
