Before I left for the Islands, I was hunting around on Flickr for shot ideas. Partially for inspiration and partially for information. I saw one shot of beach grass somewhere and thought that there was going to be no way that I’d be likely to find something so mundane at a mega resort. So when I saw that there were actually small patches of “ornamental grasses” and large stretches of what I would assume to be untouched or recovering natural grass, I was just beside myself (I know, sometimes it doesn’t take much).
For this picture, I like how simple everything is. Simple thirds, colors and composition. This is one of those shots that just screams to be mounted on a wall in an exaggerated long presentation (I’m thinking on metal). As nice as this shot is, it doesn’t do the islands of Turks and Caicos justice at all – it’s one of those places that you have to see to believe and I’m glad I was able to see it (perhaps before global warming takes its toll on island nations everywhere) and over the next few weeks, share with those who read this.
