The dark side of the moon... Philipsburg Marina St. Maarten

St. Maarten has the peculiarity of combining the typical Caribbean images of the a beach party, of happy people dancing around a bbq while sipping ice cold drinks, and the total lack of care for the same Caribbean landscape. The peculiarity is the 2 things are combined, seemingly intertwined at the very same time, in the very same place. Like if it were normal that the 2 sides of the moon could show themselves at the same time, by explaining each other.
So on the very boardwalk, as the street along the sea is called, while an fund raising beach party is going on - fund raising from a Saving the Sea association - broken bottles and sun faded cans - not too mention old engines, pneumatics and plastic stuff - lay on the ground 10 mt away. With a roaster happily seeking for food in all this mess!
