Location City -  Boca Pistol
State -  CURACAO
Country - Netherlands Antilles   Netherlands Antilles
About Curaçao is an island in the Netherlands Antilles, two island groups in the Caribbean Sea - one includes Curaçao and Bonaire, north of Venezuela; the other is east of the Virgin Islands. Curaçao is among the group known as the ABC Islands alongside Aruba and Bonaire. This trio is located near Venezuela, and are considered to be outside the Caribbean's so-called "hurricane zone." This means that vacations to the island are rarely disrupted by such tropical storms.

One of the most notable things about the island is its culture. This Dutch island features the pastel colors and building styles you'd find in the Netherlands. However, the people of the island have developed a culture, and even a language, of their own. Papiamentu (often spelled Papiamento) is the island's native Creole.

Boka Pistol; this way called because the powerful waves which start against the coralrocks make the sound of a gun. Splashing water produces a fountain that as from an observation post can be examined. You can see it also from very near, if you do not mind to become very wet:))

I love big waves, getting wet all over, great fun!! I was very close at the right side before, but as my lens was getting sprayed all the time I moved out there, to be sure to get a better shot without drops on it;))
But when I was on Creete in 2006 there were big waves as well, all the chairs and beaches were gone, just water, not good for tourists, but I loved it;) Hope you will show some waves too one day!! xxJen

Hmmmmm.....yes, the sound of water against rocks and beaches, making you lazy and happy, some people get tired of the sound, it relaxes me, sleeping on boats, so great! I was siiting aside first, getting really wet as well my daughter, so had drops on thee lens all the time, then stand in front, great view, very exciting, there were also some nice lizzards, so had to share my interest;))))
Hoping you had a great time in Deutschland, a new lens for your camera? lolll
You are so right to enjoy your days off, is Joe all well?? Sleep well my dear friend and sweet dreams to you, my daughter will have difficulties going back to school after 2 weeks off;))
Big warm hugs and kiss, Jenxx

Afternoon my dear J...Bobot;))) Well, I thought I might give you some reading for the day, not just a dull shot..loll
No, my camera isnt waterproof at all, this one was broken after a while when I was in Africa,
I let it fixed but also bought another one, I
cannot take heavy stuff with me, but regret I didnt buy a better one in stead... But they have these casts you can put around it, for me a better option maybe...lolll
Be well, Jenxx

It took some time to have the right timing for this wave dear Julie, they come and go so fast!
And of course spots on the lense wiping off and starting again;)) For me lots of fun, I cant even get the sand of the camera anymore from Ireland:)
Thanks a lot for sharing this, its more close
to your home country, wonderful area!
Kiss and hugs, Jenxx

The waves were loud and clear, time after time,
they hollow out these rocks from inside, there
were places where you could walk underneath the rocks because of the power of water.....and the blue, intens colour is so fasciniating, as we dont have anything like blue water, just brown and dusty as you might know:)
Have a great day, hope you had a lovely weekend,
kiss and hugs, jenxx

When I can find spray waves, I'm there...lolll
As a kid I loved to play in the water, no swimming lessons, just jumped into the water and
learned myself, being brought up very strict and
straight with religion, so no sports, music or tv, nothing doing on Sundays except church, for me it was like jail, sounds strange maybe, but it was!
It chained my creativity, just not in my mind..:))
So, I was so happy to catch up all this and still do, thats why I really and deeply enjoy life and also comments like yours, thanks a lot my dear friend:)) You touched my soul and heart,
big warm hugs and kisses, Jenxx
