[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this picture in Guadeloupe during a bright day.
The second chute du carbet is one of the most appealing attraction of the island. The water comes out of a spring right in the volcano La Soufrière.
When I was a kid, I used to come often there and swimmed in the basin next to the fall. But now it is not recommended to swim in the basin because of the risk of bilarsiose (a parasite that affect your health).
I used a polarised filter attached to my lens.
It is very seldom to have a bright bluesky on this site. Often there are clouds stacking up on top of the moutain.

Nice long waterfall Francois. Water contrasts nicely againsyt the blue sky.
We have a similar problem in NZ with streams and parasites. Terrible, isn't it?
TFS.
