Aruba

Aruba, it sounds like paradise, doesn´t it? Well, actually it is, surrounded of vulnerable coral reef, with its fabulous beaches, architectural treasures inspired from Holland, Spain, Miami and South America colored in sugarsweet colors in colony style. But when you enter the island it feels like to enter a pot of stew. It´s very surrealistic, all the beauty mixed with casinos all over, garbage, rich toursists, lots of jewellery shops, the big ugly oil refinery, drug dealers in the backyards and local people struggling to serve the tourists.

I feel something get lost here, on the road to what? Well, I don´t know, but this paradise spot in Karibbean need some help before it´s too late, help to remain and stay what it is, a paradise.

This photo of the port of Aruba is a HDR (High Dynamic Range) photo, made of 12 photos that I have put together. And the effect that I achieved, I think its a little bit weird, a little bit ghostly and scary…such as Aruba…
