This weekend after the behavioral science exam, I was too hopped up on Red Bull to even consider taking a nap. So instead I decided to go for a drive on the French side of the island and take a few pictures before meeting a couple of people for dinner at Lee's (try the lobster stuffed
mahi there, its great). The French side, for those who don't know, is a million times better managed and cared for than the Dutch side. The roads are nicer, and it just seems like people take pride in preserving the natural beauty of the island. A stark contrast to the tourist
smorgasbord, and traffic jams that you see on the Dutch side. Saturday of course was another edge-of-the-seat finish for
LSU, despite something like 15 penalties and 4 turnovers they still managed to best Alabama. On Sunday the slacking continued with hike to a very remote beach known appropriately enough as 'wilderness,' after driving down a dirt and rock road through a goat pasture, you have to park near
Cul du Sac, and hike around a hill that is fairly steep and rocky in places and round a rocky outcropping. Once you get there the beach is covered with big chunks of coral about the size of small bowling balls. I took a couple pieces home as bookends.
The first picture is from that beach, there was only one lone person I could see for a mile in either direction.

You're getting excellent colors out of whatever camera it is that you're using now, so with double or triple the pixels, you should really get some nice shots.
I have to admit that I fiddle with the contrast and saturation a bit to make the colors and shadows jump out a bit. But you're right, I'm hoping a better camera may decrease the amount of adjustment needed on my laptop.
Great shots!! I especially like the landscapes and Black & Whites.
