Argyle Beach - St,Vincent (& the Grenadines)

Volcanic black sand is prevalent on the Atlantic (Windward) side and the leeward-side except for the southern portion of the island where you have 'coral sand'. Behind me and a bit further back is the development of an international airport capable of handling large jets. There is a distinct possibility that the  beach will be destroyed in the process. 

Very well done.

Black sand indeed makes the difference here Tony. Perfect contrast with the wave's foam, deep colors and a sense of calm and relaxation.

Keep on shooting.

There appears to be a slight tilt to the right.  I sure hope you don't lose the left edge of the foam if corrected.

I don't think I would ever leave this spot if I lived in those houses.  Beautiful... Mike

Tony,  Nice capture.  I hope the beach is not destroyed.  I like the contrast between the black sand and the water that is enhanced by the curved shape.  The rock in the water looks like a horse.  Nicely exposed too.  We saw lots of black sand beaches , also lava, in New Zealand.   Larry

Ioannis, Michail, Jeff, Mike, Drew, Larry - Thanks.

Ioannis and Michail - I also like the black sand for photography but tourists don't like it. A resort opened up a couple of years ago on the leeward side of the island and they imported white sand to cover the black sand. 

Jeff - I will try and see if I can straighten but I suspect I am going to lose something on the left. Perhaps when I gain more advanced photoshop skills I might be able to have my cake and eat it also. 

Mike - I too would like to live in one of those houses - maybe during the winter months (only -15 C tonight)

Drew - thanks for stopping by

Larry - New Zealand is a place that interests me but there is no foreseeable plan to be there.

Hi Tony,

  Beautiful scene with amazing color & details.  Take care, Patsy

Patsy - Thanks.
