What would be the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear "the Caribbean"? I am sure many of you would think of a long white sand beach with crystal clear turquoise blue water. Yes, that is true. The Caribbean will not disappoint your imagination, and there is an endless number of incredibly and astonishingly beautiful beaches across the various islands of the Caribbean. In Kingston, however, what always take my breath away are the mountains that surround the city. On the one side of the city is the sea, and on the other side is the mountain range of which the Blue Mountain is a part.
The colours and movements of the sky, clouds and mountains change throughout the day, and they are never the same and all the time so engaging. Everytime you look up, from your car, from your office, or from your bedroom, they sing to you together in a powerful and dynamic voice of colours, lights and shades. If it were not for all the crime and violence, Kingston is so exceptionally blessed, surrounded by the beautiful mountains and the sea.
The photo shows a mountain view from the balcony of my apartment at 6pm today. Another thing about living in the tropics is that it gets dark around the same time all year round: here, always around 6pm.
