Best of Mike #7

The dive shop we used on Grand Turk had a small but well stocked gift shop.

One of the things they sold there were greeting cards that featured the pictures of one of the guys who dove with them regularly.

In that collection were two photos that caught my eye.

One was a picture of that photographer reflected in the eye of a Humpback Whale. (He had taken it while snorkeling with the whales from a liveaboard, on the Silver Banks in the nearby Dominican Republic).

The other was a shot thru the gate in front of the dive shop and out to sea.

I didn't  dive with any whales (and still haven't).... so no replica of that shot.

But I was able to duplicate the other pix that struck my fancy. Although, I used the gate in front of the local museum instead of the one in front of the dive shop.

This is one of my favorites from all the pix I have taken.

For a long time it hung in my office at home.... and I often traveled, in my head, thru this gate and into a Caribbean adventure.
