Photographer's Note
Grand Bay
Grand Bay was the first area of the island to fully experience the tourist boom. A shopping and leisure paradise, Grand Bay also happens to be the area where Mauritians head for when they want a fun-filled night out (restaurants, bars and discos). Recently renovated, La Cuvette beach is well worth a visit.
Pereybère
The wonderful Pereybere public beach is popular because of its shopping facilities, restaurants and pubs.
Balaclava Ruins
A few metres away from Baie aux Tortues, which 17th century sailors named after the many tortoises in the area, can be found the ruins of the old Balaclava estate. Visitors will be able to see the sea walls, whose initial foundations were laid down by Mahé de Labourdonnais.
The Triolet Shivala
The longest village on the island, Triolet offers an opportunity to visit the biggest Hindu temple, the Maheswarnath, first built in 1819 in honour of the Gods Shiva, Krishna, Vishnu, Muruga, Brahma and Ganesha.
The Labourdonnais Orchards
Discover a large variety of tropical fruit trees, colourful and perfumed exotic flowers. Trips on mountain bikes or hiking are possible.

Bonjour Maria,
J'aime beaucoup le point de vue au ras de l'eau. Il donne beaucoup de profondeur à l'ensemble. Le vert est bien mis en valeur par la lumière très forte sur les nénuphars.
Amicalement

Grand verdant view on "Grand bay", Maria.
The pond with water-plants are most magnificent. Strong daylight enhanced the green colors all over, and contrast well onto the shaded area.
Paradiso.

Hi Maria,
Yes, This is really beautiful and nature and exotic for European. It feel more in tropical countries. Love all the refreshing green, so lively and full of energy with the sun shining at them. Love the lotus pond with large oval shape leaves. Beautiful composition and well manage light and vivid colors.

Μαρία γεια σου,
πράγματι το τοπίο είναι παραδεισένιο με την πυκνή βλαστηση να σκεπάζει σχεδόν τα πάντα.Η λιμνούλα με α νούφαρα και το λαμπρό φως αναδεικνύουν την πανέμορφη αυτή γωνιά του κόλπου.
Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

Καλησπέρα Μαρία,
πολύ όμορφη η σύνθεση και ιδανική επιλογή το στενό καδράρισμα που ενισχύει την εντυπωσιακή συμφωνία των πράσινων τόνων, τη γοητεία της φύσης και τη ζωντάνια του φωτός. Μου αρέσει επίσης πάρα πολύ το βάθος, η αντίθεση του γαλάζιου ουρανού και η τόσο ευχάριστη και καθαρή ατμόσφαιρα. Θαυμάσια εικόνα, συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά και να έχεις ένα καλό Σαββατοκύριακο,
Ουρανία
