BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS | Saturday, 12 January 2013 | Views [249] | View Larger Image

Sun kissed islands. To be honest I wasn't expecting the British Virgin Islands to be so mountainous. They rise steeply out of the depths to around 1700 feet. Consequentially it offers great hiking and amazing ocean views. This is the view looking west towards Great Thatch Island from above Cane Garden Bay. I chose this photo because of the great combination of light and color but it also gives the viewer insight to the local topography and the many small islands dotted around the area.

Fun in the Sun. After 13 days at sea, it was great to get back onto solid ground and enjoy the ocean from a different setting. This shot was taken while playing amongst the volcanic boulders at The Baths, Virgin Gorda. I think it captures the mood of the day and highlights the importance of not only traveling to amazing places but to enjoy them.

The Humble yet Majestic Pelican. The BVIs has some amazing animals on display. From shy lizards to tropical fish. One of the most recognizable is the Pelican. It is amazing to watch them working an area and dive bombing various schools of fish. Each bird will have many attempts before they are successful. This photo is of a pelican drying it wings after a successful dive. I chose the photo because for me the Pelican will always remind me of my time there, both the hours watching them in the isolated beaches but also because of the connection it has with both the land, sea and sky. Which I can relate to.
