I just want to say that all of the pictures that you took are GREAT! This picture is my favorite because I think it has the nicest color and it just stands out and is all even. I would also like to ask a couple of questions if you don't mind. Where did you get the idea of taking pictures and making this web site, and why on the Bahamas? Also, why did you pick these pictures out of all the other views in the world? OK, well, that's all I really want to say. Keep up the good work! Love the pictures!

Alexandra - I'm not the photographer of this set, so I can't tell you what the photographer was thinking when (s)he chose to take these particular images, but I can answer the first two questions.
As for the idea of putting the pictures online, well, back in March of 1999, former Managing Editor Daniel Chvatik took a vacation to Yellowstone, ended up with some great pictures and decided to start a new section on this site (which, at the time, was starting its fifth year of publication). That new section was desktop photos. Submissions were occasional, at first, and have grown to the point where, lately, we've had photos every month and, many times, two series in one month.
Why Bahamas? That should be self-explanatory. It's a beautiful place to photograph and, as you have already noted, the pictures are great.

I love the picture because it's full of color and makes me feel like I am at the place.
