All three photos are good, but in this series, I like the second sunset photo best.

I think the picture from my iPhone looks good too, but the colours of the second image are more vibrant.

Well in the 'day in history' thread, Scifan.. brought up the Challenger disaster which occurred yesterday 30 years ago - I knew exactly where I was, i.e. in a hotel room on St. Thomas attending and speaking at a departmental radiology meeting (believe we used that location at 8 times or more; Susan & I attended at least 3-4 of those meetings).

SO, I was just 'googling' the island to bring back some memories - the first 4 pics from the web showing the Frenchman's Reef Hotel (now called the Frenchman's Cove Resort and under different management and likely w/ plenty of renovations since our last visit over 20 years ago!), map of the island (Magens Bay arrowed & also shown), and an ad for a submarine ride - we took our first sub near the waters of the capital Charlotte Amalie, which is just across the bay from the hotel. Next 4 pics are actually my own from trips there - Magens Bay again from the mountains, also shown + some examples of the flora & fauna. We've debated many times about going back but have not - St. John Island is a short boat ride away for a great day trip of swimming and snorkeling - Dave

I entertained on cruise ships for 3 years and know St. Thomas well.

Did the submarine there, and also at Grand Cayman island. Very different rides.

After a few months we got too comfortable with St Thomas, and would go to Red Hook and take the ferry to at the time un-touristy St John.

Nice pictures, they brought back pleasant memories.

Thanks.

Johanna, you definitely still are the "Sun Queen".

Thanks for posting them.

Hi Bob - we enjoyed going to St. Thomas - our departmental medical meetings were setup to leave much of the afternoons & Wednesday off, so plenty of time to enjoy ourselves - Susan & I on the Wednesday usually would boat over to St. John and went to a beach for snorkeling - can't remember the name, but I believe the two images below (from the web) are of the beach I'm talking about - you probably know the name?

Well, the roses just reminded me of Valentine's Day next month - have to make her a card (use iStudio on my MBPro), some flowers, and probably a dinner out - Dave

Just saw the front cover of the February issue of The New Yorker - noticed (except for George Washington) that there is an 2 to 2 party split in the past Presidents shown - Dave
