Today it was a perfect day for taking pictures at Curacao. This morning I went to Seaquarium Beach to take some beautiful pictures for the next Curacao Calendar. The sky was perfect blue.

At the end of the evening the sky was still blue and cloudless, so I went to Otrobanda to photograph the Handelskade. I was stunned by the bright colours of the Penha Building – a part of the Handelskade -.

Today, the day after Easter, Curacao was celebrating Seú, the annual harvest festival. A vibrant and colourful parade with approximately eighty groups went through the main streets of Otrobanda, the east side of Willemstad. While they paraded, they sung and danced on music that has its origins in African culture.

In the next edition {releasing date 15 April ’09} of online magazine Cpost more pictures of the Seú-parade.

Taking pictures for the Curacao Calendar 2010 at the Hato Plains. Today the sky was perfect blue, which made the rust-coloured soil of the Hato Plains even more beautiful.
