Pictures taken in Saba, West Indies. This was part of a Caribbean trip I took at the end of January 2002. See corresponding trip journal.
1: Approaching Saba. The airstrip is down by the water in the front right. Hell's Gate is above it in the center. And Windwardside is the cluster center-left.
2: The DHC-6 Twin Otter that brought me.
3: Out my back window at Scout's Place.
4: A view of Windwardside with Mt. Scenery in the background.
5: The steps at the start of the trail up Mt. Scenery.
6: Looking back at Windwardside from Maskehorne Hill, a little ways up Mt. Scenery. Booby Hill in the background.
7: Looking out my front door at Scout's Place.
8: A panorama taken from my seat as I was waiting for breakfast. Exposures weren't very consistent! I guess when I was taking the pictures I wasn't planning on stitching them. Be sure to scroll to the right. It's better than the left.
9: I found some wood sorrel growing in the rocks. It's the one with the heart shaped leaves. Very tasty.
10: On the Sandy Cruz trail.
11: On the Sandy Cruz trail.
12: Starting to leave The Bottom on the Crispeen Track.

14: Looking back at The Bottom.
15: Looking back at The Bottom from the Crispeen Track.
16: Up in the clouds on Mt. Scenery.
17: A morning view from outside my room at Scout's Place. A view of Windwardside. Mt. Scenery is running up the right side.
