One of the all-around most beautiful places I have ever visited is the island of Bermuda. The rocky shore line, the waves breaking on the protective reef surrounding the island, Hamilton, St. George, Somerset and the variety and beauty of the vegetation all combine to make this magical place. Sadly, the hotel that I have always gravitated to, the Sonesta Beach (the Carlton Beach, when I first visited) in Southampton Parish was severely damaged in a hurricane and is no longer a tourist hotel. These pictures were taken in Southampton Parish in the vicinity of the Sonesta Beach. The rich blues of the water are exactly as shown. The beauty of the rock formations are likewise something to behold. Although it has been many years since I was there, the memory lingers strongly in my mind and my photographs make it live again whenever I view them. (added 22 July 2006)
