Island Number three.. St Lucia.

 

The Pitons.

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pitons

 

The Pitons are two mountainous volcanic plugs, volcanic spires, located in Saint Lucia. Petit Piton is 743 m (2,438 ft) high and Gros Piton is 798.25 m (2,618.9 ft) high; they are linked by the Piton Mitan ridge. The Pitons are a World Heritage Site, 2,909 ha (7,190 acres) in size, and located near the town of Soufrière.[1]

 

Geography

The Pitons are located between the towns of Soufrière and Choiseul on the southwestern coast of the island. They are in the electoral districts of three and ten. The Pitons are located on either side of Jalousie Bay.

 

Flora and fauna

Coral reefs cover almost 60% of the site's marine area. A survey has revealed 168 species of finfish, 60 species of cnidaria, including corals, eight mollusks, 14 sponges, 11 echinoderms, 15 arthropods, and eight annelid worms. The dominant terrestrial vegetation is tropical moist forest grading to subtropical wet forest, with small areas of dry forest and wet elfin woodland on the summits. At least 148 plant species have been recorded on Gros Piton, 97 on Petit Piton, and the intervening ridge, among them eight rare tree species. The Gros Piton is home to some 27 bird species (five of them endemic), three indigenous rodents, one opossum, three bats, eight reptiles, and three amphibians.[1]

 

Geology

The volcanic complex includes a geothermal field with sulphurous fumaroles and hot springs.[1]

 

Gros Piton

Gros Piton is at the southern end of Pitons Bay. It is the second-highest peak on Saint Lucia, after Mount Gimie.[1]

 

Gros Piton can be climbed without ropes or mountaineering experience. One can hike to the summit and come back down to sea level within several hours. Local guides are provided by the National Park and are included with your entry fee. They are trained by the government to have basic knowledge of the languages common among tourists and of the medical procedures required in case of common accidents.[1]

 

Petit Piton

Petit Piton lies towards the middle of Soufrière Bay, south of Soufrière and north of Gros Piton.[1]

 

Petit Piton was first climbed in 1878 by Abdome Deligny. The islands of Dominica, Martinique, Barbados, and St. Vincent can be seen from its peak.[2]

Info from their website:

 

Grenada Distillers Limited the island’s best-known and largest distillery and one of the most interesting historical sites. The factory has been in operation since 1937, and is situated in the southern part of the island, in the Parish of St George.

 

When you arrive you would be welcomed by one of our friendly and knowledgeable tour guides, who would explain our history and all the different processes and stages of making our fine rum. You would learn of the distilling process from sugar cane, syrup and molasses, to rum, and also the aging, blending and bottling processes of making rum. On tour you would also get the opportunity to discover old steam engines, some dating as far back as 1886.

 

The tour of the factory lasts about fifteen minutes, after which you would be escorted to our Hospitality Center, where you will see our unique Barrel Furniture and an interesting display of the Clarke’s Court products. Last but not least, you are invited to sample our award-winning rums at the sample bar. You would be given recipes on different ways you can mix our rum and truly appreciate the taste of our fine products.

 

I guess a rum distillery is a must for any visitor to the Caribbean.

The lines of nature continually amaze me.....

The Caribbean Motel, located in the Wildwoods Shore Historic District in Wildwood Crest, NJ, is a historic Googie/Doo Wop motel dating from the 1950s. Besides the large cursive neon sign, other notable features include a levitating ramp.

While vacationing on the Mexican Riviera, my husband and I would walk to the beach every morning to watch the sun come up over the water. I became enamored of the color palette of the vivid turquoise water, white sand, and golden reflections on the surface of the sea. This is a series of long exposures in low light at sunrise, sometimes using intentional camera movement for a more abstract effect that I found quite soothing.
