Photographer’s Note
The 1350 residents of Saba Island like to boast that they live on the highest point in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The dormant volcano Mt. Scenery is 877 meters tall and protrudes very strongly from the Caribbean Sea. This shot was taken from a boat offshore.

Hi Rob,
Saba is expected to stay with the Kingdom of the Netherlands for still some time. Of all the overseas Dutch islands, Saba was the strongest against independence. In a referendum of November 2004,

Excellent use of the thirds, a very pleasing scenery. I like the backdrop of the brooding mountains and the contrast of the white boat in blue.

Hi Rob,
A very nice blue shot, with the very important bonus of the boat.
Like in my other comment, it's strange to see these photos placed in "Europe >> Netherlands", even if the people want to be Dutch citizens, but these issue of locations it's TE policy.
At least your title is not "Highest Peak in Holland", which would be a formal mistake ;-)
Best greetings,
F
