Thorn Forest

Another picture from Bonaire. If this land looks difficult to get through consider that the ground itself is old, exposed coral reef. It is sharp, hard and full of cracks, gulleys, spikes and holes. Walking across it with no vegetation is ankle-breakingly impossible. When covered with this aggressive forest of spikes and needles it is a truely hostile environment. Imagine being ship-wrecked or marooned in a place like this, as people were in the days of the 'Spanish Main'.
