Hell (Grand Cayman)

Welcome to Hell...Hell, Grand Cayman, that is!


How did Hell get its name?  That is the question of which legends are made.

There is a large field of unique limestone formations (ironshore) in this small town.  Over a period of many years, coral, shells, and other skeletons of sea life were solidified by limestone and salt deposits into this formidable landscape.  Some say this is what Hell would look like.   Some say if you throw a pebble into the formations, you can hear it rattling all the way down to Hell.
 



This is the gift shop.  Nearby is the post office where you can send "postcards from Hell."


Don't park here!

child + dog



This picture was unintentionally over exposed when taken.  I do like that version, but decided to play with the photo in PicMonkey.  Now it's edited a bit.  To me, this scene seems to have a timeless, ethereal quality. 

It was taken on a trip to the Caribbean island of St. Maarten in Winter 2012.

far away on a Caribbean isle...





hues of blue and green
warm sand and cool ocean waves
soothe my restlessness
