No Ma'am. The volvano is about 4700 miles from the photo location (statute).

Are we looking over at St Lucia from somewhere unnamed?

There's a Shirley in Brum and another in Croydon
But I'm with you 100% on Droitwich, even if it doesn't have a Shirley

No to above. Uususual to have such a clear view. Two islands which share a common language, sort of.

So are we talking an American island and a British one? St Kitts?

Although neither island in the photo is British, the Twotter does make a stop at a British Island enroute from one to the other.

Two 'upscale' islands come to mind. Mustique and Necker. The former a favorite of the late Princess Margaret and the latter owned by a certain bearded person.Don't know if either look like the one in question.

Didn't expect this much difficulty. The beach is on a bi-lingual island, and the distant island speaks one of the two.

Following a hurricane recently, prisoners with machates escaped from jail terrorized guests at hotels in their rooms here. There are at least three streaming webcams on the island in foreground.

The photo was taken from St Maarten, yes. The island in the distance, with Anguilla as an intermediate stop, was the challenge. It likely has churches and bars on it.
