I just spent 10 days on St. Kitts in the Lesser Antilles, but only managed to get out for a few hours of photography. While en-route to the Brimstone Hill Fortress, this little monkey showed him/herself and jumped up on a cement guard rail alongside the road. We pulled up slowly, my wife rolled down her window, and I popped off six shots - this being the best of the bunch.
