When one thinks of a Caribbean island like Antigua, images of pristine beaches, aquamarine waters and swaying palms come to mind. After getting around the island a bit, some of the landscapes seem surreal, as if they are from a different place in the world. One landscape that grabs my attention is the grasslands.
When driving by or walking through some parts of the island, open spaces full of high, wavy grass are visible. Sometimes they have requisite livestock grazing laconically in the tropical sun. Often, they are as clear as a Kansas wheat field marked only by a solitary tree bending with the wind. The grass reflects the sunlight and, depending upon the time of day, gives off a variety of earthy hues.
