If you notice this pond looks to be the same as we have seen before but from a different angle. I would call this pond 1..which is the smaller area in the satellite photos.  Notice the lights, probably from the soccer field, in the background.  (I am guessing they are the lights from National field.)

Thanks Sandy...that is beautiful

This should be a photo of the larger area that I will call Pond 2 in the satellite photos.  There are drainage pipes at the very end that I can't see that either drains the soccer area or the smaller pond.  I am not sure which...these pipes are accessible from the road behind the chinese restaurant.

A strange thought just crossed my mind, which can sometimes be dangerous.    We are hearing that a shoe has been found near the lighthouse.  Why, after three years, are they suddenly talking about finding a shoe?  That entire lighthouse area has been searched.  On the crappy island, up means down and sea means land.  Could it be possbile that a shoe was found in the pond and as usual everyone is being diverted to another location?

Good morning Destiny.  I am still so impressed with all that you have done with the article.  Thank you so much.  How is your aunt?

Just my opinion, but it didn't really appear as though that sneaker was stuck in muck for 3 years.

Lest anyone doubt the existence of those pipes...

LaLa's, these are great pictures.  Thanks so much.

I don't see Destiny here, but when she gets back, I think Ernestine has earned a little patriotism:

Wish we could tell how close the drain pipes the dug out area was.  Perhaps shoes washed from the drain pipe into the pond?

The shoe/shoes we saw in the photo have not been in water (let alone exposed) for 3 years. It obviously was "kept" by someone and planted very recently.

Those pipes are a fair distance from the area that was dug out...the pond area, that I refer to as pond 1, is the very beginning of the pond area.  The pipes drain at the far end of the larger part that I call pond 2.  The satellite photo would make this clearer...maybe.  I don't have that and probably couldn't post it anyway. LOL  If it isn't in photobucket I can't do it.

I have read about dams and tankis (shallow pond areas dug out for water storage for agriculture).  I guess Aruba has about 250.  My question is, was this area purposely drained or does it look like this every May?  Does anyone know how deep it was in 2005 or if it had water in it?
