But, my gosh... so dry. You wouldn't think so but from what I recall the wet season here is quite brief. Many months are rainless. A bit fuzzy/overexposed, but you get the picture. Bet those forests are full grown & lush nowadays.

Interesting but very poor transfer from film. A pity for Virgin Islanders who wish to guess the locations.
