Jost Van Dyke: Time Changes
Posted by gerald in Virgin Islands, tags: British Virgin Islands, Jost Van Dyke, St. JohnWelcome back!
It started with a book sent to me by Joe Jackson, “Virgin Islands, Pleasure Spots in the Caribbean” by Bruce Lynn published in 1970. On Tuesday, with book in hand, my friends and I left St. John and motored over to Jost Van Dyke with the mission of trying to set up photos that matched the ones of Jost Van Dyke in the book.

Very interesting. Even though I have never been there, I love seeing to identical location/comparison shots of different times. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s not.
