Artist's Comments

The reefs have suddenly risen from the deep...

Powerful earthquakes has forced beds of coral rock formations above the waves, sometimes rising to a plateau of 15 metres. Off the coast you find rock islands like featured here, which are the same pieces of risen corals. Upon closer inspection, you find their origins. This limestone is created from corals and crushed shells and sometimes you can find shell fossils embedded in the rock.

It is strange to think, that this part of the coast used to be just sea, but nothing lasts forever.
The never-ending fall and rise of land in the Caribbean will continue to produce strange and wonderful worlds like this.

Less than .000002% of all deviations are mine! If you think false statistics about teenagers and marijuana use or musical preferences make for bad signatures, then visit my gallery!
:iconsilverdragon:
yes, but coupled with long exposure it looks like much more foam than in reality.

Oh wow!! the way you captured it makes it look utterly amazing. I guess it looks more clear in real life?
:iconsilverdragon:
Yes, the blurriness isnt there in real life but instead beach foam :D. Maybe later I will make a close up picture of foam :P

I tried to do it yesterday, but it kinda failed with what I had in my mind. Maybe I was too afraid of the splsh and foam to get to my camera.... hopefully soon i find the right conditions and place :D
