Antilles Treausres has  proudly put together a series of photos by AxARob that is some of our favorite shots of ST Maarten/ST Martin and Anguilla. These beautifully colored prints are perfect for framing and hanging in a professional space or in a place that you want to remind you of time spent in the Caribbean. Each print has a white border and lists the name of the photo and where it was captured. These can be enjoyed individually or as a set.  All works are printed on 11″x17″ and printed on Kodak photo paper.  The price is $12.50 each and will be delivered to you in a cardboard tube.

	The Sandstone cliffs add a breathtaking effect to the beauty of this beach.  The beach it’s self comes and goes with the weather, one day a beach full of sand and the next is all rock.  The view from here is exquisite as you can see the island Saba in the distance on a clear day and you will be privy to the coming and goings of boats from nearby Simpson Bay as well as all flights jammed with new arrivals coming to the island each afternoon.
	The Overlook from above the world famous Orient Beach presents you with an artist’s palate full of colorful rooftops below.  This is one of our favorite views on the island as the vista of multicolored rooftops make a natural transition to the azure waters and bright blue skies, entice us to enjoy the charms of the beach below.
	Standing in the hillside FT ST Louis, the 18th century protector of Marigot Harbor, you are able to look out and see not only the French capital below but the entire western end of the island of ST Martin/ST Maarten.   Directly below is the ferry service that can take you to Anguilla, ST Barths and even Saba.  Just inland from the ferry building there is a daily open air market that is filled with bright colors and fresh smells. It is a great place to spend a day and visit the French culture.
	Solitude aptly describes the beautiful scene of this large piece of drift wood resting on Upper Shoal Bay in Anguilla.  The sand is a talcum powder white and the water is travel poster blue.  The drift wood lying on the beach is a large part of an old tree trunk that to us looks like a wheel from a covered wagon that delivered someone to their dream escape.  This beach is frequently rated as one of the top 10 beaches in the Caribbean and world.
	Day’s End was shot on the western facing beach at Pelican Key on Simpson Bay, ST Maarten.  We spend most evenings of our visits to this island within a couple of hundred meters of this very spot.  The vista is incredible and the painting of the sunset done by the setting sun is breathtaking.  This spot draws crowds of people wanting to toast the setting sun as a salute of gratitude for a day spent lounging on island.
	Beached, Yes you have seen this photo before.  It is one of our favorites and was last week’s feature as a stand alone work.  Shot on the beach at Island Harbour, Anguilla which is a quaint fishing village on the northeastern shore of the island.  The beach is filled with multicolored fishing boats that glisten in the mid day sun.  It felt that morning that if you listened closely you could here Harry Belafonte’s call to work with the Banana boat song from the movie Island in the Sun.

Who can resist shooting an image that starts with shell white sand and  flows into multiple shades of blue water and sky.  Toss in the bright colors of this little fishing boat as it rests in the sand after a morning of work.  The accents of the palm fronz and their shadows give the forward area of the photo depth.  The little key(island) in the background puts a finishing touch to the image.  All that’s missing is a pair of beach chairs and a couple of cold ones to complete the scene.
