Abundance Anse Cochon Bay Artificial Reef Coral Encrusted Fish Freighter Lesleen M Over Grown Reef Remains Sea Bed Ship Wreck Sunken Under Water Wreck Port Hole
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a coral encrusted porthole on the Lesleen M wreck. The Lesleen M, once a mighty freighter, was intentionally sunk in 1985 off Anse Cochon Bay in St. Lucia to serve as an artificial reef. Now lying peacefully on the sea bed, it has become a haven for an abundance of marine life. The vibrant colors of the corals and their overgrown presence create a stunning contrast against the remnants of this sunken ship. Underneath the Caribbean waters, this underwater world is teeming with life and activity. Colorful fish dart in and out of crevices while delicate coral formations sway gently with the current. Photographers Lisa Collins and Robert Harding have perfectly captured this moment from outside nature's realm. The horizontal composition allows us to fully appreciate both the intricate details of each coral formation and the overall grandeur of this underwater scene. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that even in its decay, nature has transformed what was once man-made into something truly remarkable. This photograph serves as a testament to both human ingenuity in creating artificial reefs and Mother Nature's ability to reclaim her territory. In Central America's West Indies region, where natural wonders abound, this photograph stands as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these fragile ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
