island ruins :: photography

this beautiful area of st. lucia is fort rodney, where the british used to spy on french ships during a stand-off before the battle of saints. in the top picture above, you can see the barracks, where soldiers slept, which were destroyed in a hurricane in the early 1800's. fort rodney is actually located on pigeon island, which is now part of st. lucia island, but only by a man-made causeway.

hubby and i hiked pigeon island and were astounded by it's beauty. you can almost feel the lost life there and the devastation of history.
