Diamond Falls, St Lucia

Diamond Falls, located within the Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens near the town of Soufrière, St. Lucia. This waterfall is known as one of the most colourful in the Caribbean because its water comes from volcanic springs and is rich in minerals. These minerals leave behind vibrant deposits on the surrounding rock face, creating the unique orange, yellow, and brown hues seen in the image.

Thanks Gordon. Originally I had this paired up with another photo from St Lucia, but just after posting realised I had already posted in 2008.

Take care.

The colours are spectacular! Often they also go with a nice smell of rotten egg;-)

You are right there. We also visited the volcanic fissures of boiling steam and yes, that smell of rotten eggs. You will know that from Iceland too.

Best Wishes. Herb
