Maldives Islands

Such a shame! Such a pity!
How to destroy Paradise for money!
I know the Maldives are sinking, due to many factors, but mostly the raising levels of the Oceans waters...
But the unruly exploitation they have been faced are beyond belief.
How to transform a fabulous place for a few to a tremendous shite for many? Is this 'democracy'? count me out!

Your comments about the Maldives are right on. As Joni Mitchell said, "pave paradise and put up a parking lot", or in other words, destroy what is beautiful for money. Your photos are eloquent. V

Fascinating gallery. I knew the Maldives are special place, but I didn't realize that the wildlife is so prolific and abundantly full of color and variety. Great pictures.

Some beautiful scenes and colours, above and below the water - and some pointed messages about 'paradise lost'.
