There’s a moment in every Caribbean trip that lingers long after you return — and sometimes, it looks just like this.

Captured by Caribbean Journal reader Gavin Walters, this week’s Caribbean Photo of the Week offers a sweeping view from the hills of St. Kitts, looking out across the coastline and shimmering sea toward the silhouette of Statia rising in the distance.

It’s a scene that captures what makes St. Kitts so unique — the mix of deep green landscapes, colorful rooftops, and the ever-present horizon that stretches toward the next island. In the foreground, you can spot remnants of the island’s colonial past, blending into the lush terrain — a quiet reminder of the stories this land holds.

The sky is wide, the water impossibly blue, and everything seems to slow down.
