Mopion islet, Grenadines: My tropical isle has a name…
The photograph above, which is the banner for my website, www.wordjourneys.net, is one I took in the Grenadines in 2004. It is one of my favorites. I look at it and am immediately transported back to the day I took it, following a dive on the reefs nearby. Only recently did I find it had a name – Mopion islet – and that it is somewhat famous, having been photographed for “dozens of magazine covers” and written up in a Caribbean Travel & Life article about “dream beaches of the Caribbean.”
Variously described as “the quintessential ‘deserted island’” and as “a dollop of sand surrounded by a transparent sea,” Mopion is located near the private resort island of Petit St. Vincent, and not far from Palm Island, the private resort island where I stayed in early December ’04, when I unwittingly captured this photo following a dive on nearby reefs.
