My first photo was taken from Morne Bruce to see a panoramic view of the seaside.
Next stop was the Dominica Botanic Garden, but it was heavily damaged.
 |
| The garden was to have Dominican parrots, but the damage resulted in no parrots being present. |
 |
| The sound of chain saws was nonstop while our group was present. |
 |
| That's a school bus under the tree. |
The way to Trafalgar Falls required a winding mountain road. Electricity is out in over 50% of the island, and most of the people in this area haven't had power since the hurricane last November.
 |
| There are two falls in the park (three during the rainy season). |
 |
| This is a rainforest area of the island, and it receives lots and lots of rain. |
The last stop on the tour was the Trois Pitons National Park which is home to the Emerald Pool. The pool is said to have healing and restorative powers. Again, the canopy of trees covering the area was heavily damaged.
 |
| A couple is taking advantage of the Emerald Pool in the national park. |
 |
| The color is emerald. It's clear water that reflects the vegetation of the area. |
 |
| Another angle of the pool. |
 |
| The workers have restored the pathway bridges, but the canopy of green has been stripped away by the winds. |
 |
| Large uprooted trees are everywhere. |
 |
| Despite the destruction, there is much beauty in the area. |
I took one final picture from the pier to the ship.
 |
| Dominica is often confused with the Dominican Republic. However, it's a very small, formerly British colony that consists of islands that were created through volcanic activity. |
