Great Guana Cay

03/28/09 17:57

Okay, here are some shots from my visit to Black Point and Great Guana Cay. It was a pretty amazing island, I've got to say, and I got to stretch my legs quite a bit. The coast had some dramatic white cliffs. They were so photogenic.

There was also quite a lot of grass and shrub-brush. It was the first time I'd seen a field in ages. Ages.

Also, there were these amazing green pools right next to the open water of the Atlantic Ocean. I went swimming in one of them. Too cool.

All over the Exumas, there are these sinkholes in the islands. The islands are this porous rock that gets eroded away, crumbling into sinkholes that can be as much as 20 feet deep.

The same phenomenon happens along the edge of islands, making caves that you can enter.

Another fairly common phenomenon are ponds. Yeah, that sounds self evident, but there's not a lot of standing fresh water. Okay, there's no standing fresh water. These ponds are ridiculously salty.

And there you have it.
