We have a new header on the site and it shows a photo from the USVI randomly from a selection of 13.
In a recent post Gerie wrote: "I like the new look. I also love all the new pictures on the top of the page. But now, are you going to identify the locations of those pictures? Some are obvious, but others are unfamiliar."
Sooo how about a game, "Guess the Location, Island" of the images in the header. 😉
These are the 13.
1. Beach with Palm Palapas Umbrellas
2. Yellow Building
3. Beach with two Boats
4. Cruise Ships
5. Bay with darker and lighter blue water, land on left side
6. Beach with White Tower in Left corner
7. Overview of a Town with boats at Anchorage
8. Sandy Strip with water on left and right sides, rocks in front
9: Grassy shot with ocean background
10: Mostly Various Mountains with some water
11: Sandy/rocky Strip with water in front and back, little bit of land in top, left corner
12: Coconut Trees (if someone recognizes these specific trees... WOW your good!)
13: Bay/water in front with Island/mountains in background
Only some of them appear on the message board, others appear on the site itself so you will need to click through the site to see all of them.

Is there a prize for the winner?8-)
I think the idea is great!!!
And for a prize I think that guessing the location is the prize.
CORAL WORLD ON COKI~~~
billd
Cruz Bay is one of them...of course :o)
I sone of them Sandy Cay???
May be more fun to put the number from Islander's post next to your answer, for example:
#4 is Cruise ships docked at Havensight
This way we can know which picture you are thinking is Sandy Cay, Connie.
(and if you're totally off base we can laugh our heads off) --just kidding 😀
#3 Beach with two boats - Sandy Cay :o)
#11 Waterlemon Cay STJ.
Will you let us know if we are right?
3 so far 🙂
4. Cruise Ships
(tu) Gerie's got it, Cruise Ships at Havensight Dock, St. Thomas
6. Beach with White Tower in Left corner
(tu) Yes BillD it is Coral World and Coki Beach, St. Thomas
7. Overview of a Town with boats at Anchorage
(tu) Connie's right it's Cruz Bay, St. John
Connie and IAMolly guess again...
#3 is not Sandy Cay, BVI (tip all photos are in the USVI)
#11 is not Waterlemon, St. John
And FL Barrier asked for a prize... Ok two prizes of 2009 USVI Wall Calendar. The first two people to get three points wins a Calendar. Points are earned on correctly identifying an image not already identified. So far, Gerie, Billd and Connie with 1 point each. 😉

I don't know why, but I can only seem to see about 5 different pictures. How do you see all of them?
#3 Buck Island STX
They appear randomly from the selection, however only 8 of the 13 can appear on the Message Board so you do have to click over to other pages of the website to see them all. Use the drop down navigation menu at the top of the page and click over to other sections.
And Connie, for 2 points!
3. Beach with two Boats is Buck Island, St. Croix
--Islander
#2 The fort in Christiansted, STX
#5 Great Pond Bay, STX??
#2 - Trees....Sapphire STT
#11- Leinster STJ
stxem008 has got two.
2. Yellow Building is Fort Christiansvaern in Christiansted St. Croix
5. Bay with darker and lighter blue water, land on left side is Great Pond Bay, St. Croix
Connie Guess Again...
#12 Coconut Trees are not at Sapphire Beach, St. Thomas
#11 is not Leinster Bay, St. John
Keep 'em coming... 🙂

lindquest beach.
Cruse bay in St. John
#1 Beach at the Ritz Carlton?
BillD - which one do you think is Lindquist? In the first post I have numbers with short descriptions to identify each of the 13. Connie identified the Cruz Bay one, but yes that is right.
Gerie - the beaches at Ritz Carlton, St. Thomas are Turtle Cove and Bluebeards Beach, whole bay is called Great Bay... #1 is not any of the Ritz Carlton beaches.
So far we have... 🙂
#2. Fort Christiansvaern in Christiansted St. Croix (Yellow Building) - (stxem008)
#3. Buck Island, St. Croix (Beach with two Boats) - (Connie)
#4. Cruise Ships at Havensight Dock, St. Thomas (Cruise Ships) - (Gerie)
#5. Great Pond Bay, St. Croix (Bay with darker and lighter blue water, land on left side) - (stxem008)
#6. Coral World and Coki Beach, St. Thomas (Beach with White Tower in Left corner) - (Billd)
