@Dimitrios: I hid the telephoto and used the little Canon A530 for this shot because just behind me were large CCTV surveillance cameras inside the high security grounds of the old quarantine station which now looks like a smaller version of Guantamo Bay prison!

I keep clicking large but it doesn't get larger (oh never mind). Looks like a great place to swim, and I admire anywhere that you can go swimming in winter.

Stunner from Kingston, Jamaica

Wow this is such a great shot! I like the contrast of nature against the city.

amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada

You know it just sucks that winters are warmer there than our summers!! LOL Love the shot Sidonie!! For the risque nature and the spectacular view of the city!!

And I wish I was strolling along with all I have to offer getting some sun... North Americans are a bit uptight about that... and us Canadians just don't have enough summer LOL

@amy: This was an exceptionally warm day for winter - 27 degrees Celsius - it's been a much cooler 17 degrees this week. But I have to agree with you - this is a little corner of paradise!
