Island Time wave content to let the set

content to let the set lines write themselves across the bay

partly washed-out wooden steps that the postcards never show you climbing back up

sun bouncing back off pale rock

there are dozens of others

framed between wind-bent palms on a day the mountain was giving everything it had

Island Time wave content to let the setMauritius sits about 700 miles east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean a volcanic island ringed almost entirely by coral reef, which is why the lagoons inside the reef sit so flat and so blue. Pointe de Flacq is on the windward east coast, the side most international visitors skip in favor of the developed west. Alex shoots in black and white, the palm rows reading as repeating verticals against the still water.
