Eagle Beach, Aruba. A tropical rain shower brought calm to the trade winds and stilled the water for several hours. These two boats were part of an around-the-island sail race that took place later that day. I have this as my desktop image today. Enjoy!

Wonderful clear photo. What a lovely place to be. The color of the water and the sand looks unreal.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

It does make a great desktop, Thad. I just wish I had the memories to go with it.

Certainly a idylic sight, Thad. Cropping in from the right, a bit more than halfway to the Black boat will increase the overall impact without really losing anything.

There must not have been a speck of wind as they sat there so straight. Lovely photo.
