CARIBBEAN SKIES AND LIGHT

Something more about the Caribbean and how it is wonderful for photography.

Another peculiar aspect of this region is sky, or better, skies. I prefer to use the plural because, as you can see in the images that I have chosen for this post, the Caribbean sky shows so many different patterns and combinations that it appears to be from different sources, precisely from different skies.

Sky is naturally associated with light. And light is something magic in the Caribbean. It changes constantly, and it may change very suddenly, often in a few minutes or even seconds.

And then, the clouds. With the light, they are the other magical element in the sky.

Throughout the Caribbean Sea, warm, moist trade winds blow consistently from the east, and clouds are moving fast, creating artistic shapes and beautiful colored reflections.

You can stand on a beach or on a pier, in front of the sea, and you can witness several masterpieces painted with clouds and light by mother nature, one after another, without having to change location.

 Even in a stormy day, like the one in this picture, the Caribbean sky does not lose its fascination and artistic ability.

In these images you can see what I mean. I composed them on the Rodney Bay, in front of Gros Islet village, at St Lucia Island.

 

 Thank you for visiting! I'll wait for you in my next post.
