Sunday in Paradise

Spent the day on the beach, with Carole's cousins at the Mirabella Condos, about a 10 minute walk from our building. From the Mirabella, we get a different scene with different views. Our building is down the beach in the distance, center left of the second photo.

 

Photographing the coconut palms and rendering them in monochrome makes for more original images versus typical color shots.

 

Our dinner group at the Metropole Restaurant, a favorite of locals and visitors alike. In our group: me, Harold, Adrien, Phyllis (standing), Carole, Ellen and Kenny (seated). Dined on fresh grilled red snapper, a unique dish comprising a 1/2 chicken smoked, black beans and rice, washed down with a mojito and white wine.

 

Tomorrow off to the historic city of Ponce, on the south coast of Puerto Rico, to visit a fishing village, Art Museum, and cathedral.

NOTE: For the techies and aspiring photographers out there, all images are in RAW format, post-processed using Adobe Lightroom 3 and Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.
