Photographer’s Note

There is a possibility to cool down on the northcoast of Curacao. Although there are no beaches and the sea is rough at the rocky coast, there are a few places where the sea comes above inland far from the shore.
There the sea has made caves and there is a blowhole where like in a Icelandic Geysir the water is pressed high up.
When it is hot, what it mostly is, it's a delight to sit overthere and let the shower of the sea cool you down.

Hi Guerrit,
I like your composition and enquadrement you did to this rocky coastline Geysir and persons. Possible a picture a little dark but the important here is your excelent capture of the water motion of the geysir that you handled so well. Good contrast and fine sharpness. Well seen and well composed. Congratulations and have a nice weekend.

Best Regards.
Fernando

I like the way your captured this natural shower. The rocky coast seems to be a nice place for enjoyment. The colors are good. I think if the shutter speed would be little higher say 1/600, then this would be more better.
Thanks for sharing.

Hola Gerrit.
Very nice natural swimming pool with the impressive wave splash producing this refreshing natural shower. The only difficulty I see is to reach this place with so many sharp rocks. Very well captured, good colors and lighting.
Well done.

Hi Gerrit - excellent timing, the human presence gives scale to the size of the impressive sea spray.
