Krish's Bahamian Photo log

[Krish]

(EDIT: Before you go ahead, I think I may have added too many photos on each page so if you have a slow server, it may take a little while to load. I'm very sorry )



I've thought long and hard about this and decided that I wanted a single thread to showcase every photo of mine taken here in the Bahamas. I have so many little threads everywhere, that I loose track. So I have decided to combine them all of them into one thread from now on. I will go back to the other threads and pick out the pictures I want to add here so some of them will be familiar to some of you. Hopefully, this will make it a lot easier for everyone as well to keep track. My aim here is to share what my country has to offer, offer species identification etc (where I can) and also, to have a little fun

So...I will start with a few new ones taken today at Atlantis. (Bare with me for a bit because I have quite a few photos to transfer and upload)

Here is a photo of what conch salad is. I wanted to get a photo of the whole process but was a bit late. What conch salad is, is conch right out of the shell, it is skinned and cleaned and then cut up raw and alive! They then add in tomatoes, onion, green bell peppers, lots of lime, red pepper or goat pepper and salt. You mix it all up and there you have Conch Salad. I don't eat the conch. If anything, I just get herb salad which is conch salad without the conch



And then here is some of Arawak Cay as well as their little police station(LOL)













This is a lion fish I caught here today, which aren't supposed to be here. I also found this brain type coral in about 8ft of water broken off. I didn't keep it though...Just took a photo of it and tossed it back

This photo was taken a while back. I wanted a coral banded shrimp for my tank so I went down to my wife's cousins yacht with a flashlight at night and scooped these guys up in about 10 minutes. I only kept one...





Well, That's all for now folks. I think I've gotten all I wanted to transfer here transferred. If the weather is great tomorrow then I should have a few more because we plan to go in the boat. I may even do a bit of spear fishing as well. Hope you guys enjoy what I have done here so far
