The Island of Saba - Percy sounds the Conch

Percy Ten Holdt has been sounding his collection of conch shells over the Windward Side valley for over 26 years on the island of Saba. At 6 am every morning Ten Holdt carries on this tradition, dating back to when the only way to reach the island was by boat. Sound and photos by Stephanie Strasburg, http://stephaniestrasburg.com

I have been to Saba. I really enjoyed your picture inside the church and the glimpses of the little cottages which I remember well. Thanks!
