Day 65: Ambergris Caye, Belize
Luckily Hurricane Dean moved over Belize quickly and didn’t leave too much damage behind so I was able to get there one day later than planned. I didn’t really stay on mainland Belize but headed to Caye Caulker – small coral island about 30 km’s from Belize City. It’s like Jamaica-lite – reggae, dreads, rum and beautiful beaches. I spent most of my time in bed trying to figure out how to get well – pretty ironic.
Ambergris Caye is bigger and touristier coral island about an hour away from Caulker by boat. I wasn’t supposed to go there at all but the only decent hospital facilities were located there so I didn’t have a choice. I decided to take my camera with me - this is one of the few photos I managed to take in Belize.

Dia 65: Cayo Ambergris, Belice
Afortunadamente Huracán Dean se movió sobre Belice rápidamente y no dejó mucho daño detrás. Llegué allí un día más adelante que previsto. No estado en el continente Belice sino fui al Caye Caulker - isla coralina pequeña 30 kilómetros de la ciudad Belice. Es como Jamaica-“light” - el reggae, rastas, ron y las playas hermosas. Estado más o menos solamente en la cama - que irónico!
Caye Ambergris es más grande que Caye Caulker, y la mayor destinación turística Belice. Es situado una hora ausente de Caulker con el barco. Me no supusieron visitarlo pero tienen el único hospital decente cerca de Caulker y no tenía una opción. Decidía tomar mi cámara con mí - éste es una de las pocas fotos que tomé en Belice.

Marko,
I want to be there NOW!!!!!
This is a beautiful place! Your composition is great showing the building on one side and using the dock to lead the eye through the photo. The lighting and colors are outstanding with excellent sharpness and DOF. The varying shades in the water compliment the cloudy sky. The red roof of the building provides nice contrast to the blue hue of the photo.
TFS,
Asa

the way sky appears is just like a fairy tale.significant sucess is about the line of horizon very straight . I dont wanna forget mentioning the importance of the pink and light blue color in the small boat. adds beauty.
