In the dry season, "Wag Water" is a calm river littered with boulders. Using these boulders as stepping stones, one can easily reach roughly the middle of the river. The first Spanish settlers named the river "Agua Alta", which became "Wag Water", when England took over the island.

Photography Tips

I used a tripod and an infrared filter (720 nm) which leads to the relatively bright appearance of the vegetation.
