Photos of the island of Antigua



The ocean has its silent caves,
Deep, quiet and alone;
Though there be fury on the waves,
Beneath them there is none.
The awful spirits of the deep
Hold their communion there;
And there are those for whom we weep,
the young, the bright, the fair.
Beneath their own blue sea.
The ocean solitudes are blest,
For there is purity.
The earth has guilt, the earth has care,
Unquiet are its graves;
But peaceful sleep is ever there,
Beneath the dark blue waves.
The Ocean©Nathaniel Hawthorne

In 2014, we took a cruise that stopped at the island of Antigua.
After our day tour, I looked out from my balcony and could not believe my eyes.
The beauty of the blue sky compared to the turquoise blue ocean was mesmerizing.

Thank you, Patti for your wonderful comment. I’m happy you enjoyed my selections this week. When we docked the first thing your eye see is the turquoise blue of the water. It’s like a painting . The magic of Mother Nature. Have a great weekend … Isadora
