A group of pelicans and seagulls taking a break in Los Roques. Unfortunately, I couldn't get closer. I love the color of the water here. Rotated and cropped accordingly, I increased contrast.

"Miles of deserted white sand beaches, countless uninhabited islands and teeming coral reefs, Los Roques Archipelago National Park's natural Caribbean splendor remains unspoiled and largely undiscovered. Created in 1974, this is the first and only national marine park in Venezuela with 546,388 acres. Located in one of the most interesting coral reef formations in the Caribbean the archipelago is easily accessible by plane from Caracas and Margarita Island or by an overnight's sailing from the Venezuelan mainland. Its geographic location allows for a agreeable climate, away from hurricanes or tropical storms and with year-round temperatures of 82ºF in average.

Eighty nautical miles, some 100 miles off Venezuela's north central coast, an isolated chain of reef-formed "cayos" (keys) rise from the depths of the Caribbean to form this archipelago. Los Roques consists of more than 365 mostly unnamed and uninhabited islands, islets and keys (One for every day of the year!). ... Its miles of clear, azure water and seemingly endless white sand beaches are cooled by constant trade winds. "
