Our cruise late June of this year included a stop at St. Thomas, where we took a side trip to St. John. I had about an hour to triage e-mails, which was good.

This photo was taken from a roadside stop in St. John, looking over a bay and up at some beautiful homes. The D300 was set at ISO 200 and the exposure was 1/250 second at f/11 at 200mm.

We really had a great time on this side trip from our cruise. We saw some of the most amazing beaches I’ve ever seen. If I’m ambitious, I’ll post a few more photos soon (whatever that means).

We were very happy we didn’t go on another side trip in St. Thomas. One of the trips went on an open bus tour that had an accident. Lots of injuries and the Freedom of the Seas was delayed from leaving the port in St. Thomas. Click here for the article in the USA Today about the accident.
