This is a ladscape of Washington Slagbaai National Park in Bonaire.I liked the colors of the sand here.

"The northern third of the Bonaire is Washington / Slagbaai park. The land which makes up the park was formerly used as plantations for aloe and goats. However, since its conversion to a park in the mid-1900s, the park's land has quickly reverted back to its natural state. The mostly dirt roads of the park can be traversed by car or guided bicycle tours, with lizards of all sorts, including large iguanas, among the roadside attractions. Among the park's special features are several secluded beaches, a lighthouse, and old plantation buildings. Here is where you might catch a glimpse of our parrot, the Lora, a sub-species of the green shouldered Amazon. A more common sight is the smaller parrot look-alike, the Prikitchi, which is really a parakeet. The park is a fabulous area for bird watching or just absorbing nature. "

Hi Yvonne,
Nice shot, I like the way the eye is led from right to left. There is a technical term for this, diminishing something or other but landscape's not my thing :-) Really nice colours and detail, good work.
Adrian

I apologize Yvonne, but running late today.
Well deserved :-) Thank you!
