This picture was made by my previous camera and me - Konica Minolta Dynax 5D and kitlens.
Almost every year for the last 7 years, my sister, my husband and I visit the island of Aruba, where trees grow on the beach and north easterly trade winds constantly blow, as you can see by the way this little sturdy tree is disformed. The place you can find this one is opposite the Amsterdam Manor Hotel.
If you could look outside my window right now, you would understand why we love to be in Aruba.
It's wet, cold, and slippery because of the snow.

...and how we wish we were there right now please...
Traffic jams all over the country, 9 people died in accidents over the weekend, this morning I picked up my daughter and husband to bring them to their workplace with the car, because it's slippery and they have no other means of transportation then their bike. Hope you travelled safe.

Goede morgen Els.
Al 7 jaar naar Aruba geweest? Nooit gehoord van andere mooie plekkies op aarde?
Ik denk dat ik daar toch ook maar een keertje moet gan kijken, haha
Groeten van Jan

I LOVE YOUR CAPTURE OF THE DIVI DIVI TREE IN ARUBA. I tried and tried to get near this tree to take a capture but never made it. So I ended up buying one in one of the gift shops. Would have much preferred to have the one you took - it captures the very essence of the climate (complete with the constant trade winds). Gorgeous capture and a reminder that I must return to that beautiful island once again.
