2672 Sunset in the Enriquillo Lake - Dominican Republic

Lago Enriquillo esta localizado al suroeste de República Dominicana, es uno de sólo unos pocos lagos de agua salada en el mundo habitado por cocodrilos.

Llamado por los indígenas Hagueygabon (Gran Manantial) y por los colonizadores españoles Lago Grande de Jaragua, estos últimos también le llamaron Aibaguanex en honor a un indígena cuando gobernó La Hispaniola Fray Nicolás de Ovando según narra Gonzales Fernández de en su Historia General de las Indias.

La isla Cabritos parte importante de este sistema cuando el último gobierno de Horacio Vásquez fue adquirida por 400 pesos por el súbdito alemán Hermann Peters domiciliado y residente en Puerto Príncipe, Republica de Haití en fecha Febrero 28, 1929, siendo previamente comprado estos terrenos inhabitados de las isla en fecha Diciembre 23,1901 por Emilio Peters a Juan Ramón Montes de Oca en representación de la sucesión del finado Gregorio Recio, por ante el alcalde de Neiba en funciones de notario público, ciudadano Jesús María Pérez.

En la isla Cabritos el Cacique Enriquillo tenía su refugio y centro de aprovisionamiento constituido fundamentalmente de pescado seco.

La isla Cabritos fue declarada parque nacional en 1974 por el entonces presidente de la Republica Dominicana Joaquín Amparo Balaguer Ricardo.


Lake Enriquillo is a lake in the Dominican Republic, it is one of only a few saltwater lakes in the world inhabited by crocodiles.

Lake Enriquillo is located in a rift valley formed by the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault that extends 79 miles (127 km) from Port-au-Prince Bay in Haiti in the west, to near Neiba Bay in the Dominican Republic in the east.

This fault was responsible for the catastrophic 2010 Haiti earthquake. The lake is named after Enriquillo, a Taíno cacique who rebelled against the Spaniards in the early 16th century, and hid in the mountains North of the lake.

Lake Enriquillo covers an area of 102 square miles (265 km²) and is the lowest point in the Caribbean falling 129 feet (39 m) below sea level. During the late 2000s, the lake has increased its surface area dramatically.

Records for 2004 show the lake to be 164 square kilometers; measurements from 2011 put the area at 350 km²..... This rise in level has affected hundres of nearby residents in townships that bordered the lake, with abundant loss of agricultural land which, even if the waters recede, will probably be rendered useless due to the lake's salinity damaging the qualities of the once-arable soil.

Hors service

« Pendant qu’on nous amuse avec des guerres et des révolutions qui s’engendrent les unes les autres en répétant toujours la même chose, l’homme est en train, à force d’exploitation technologique incontrôlée, de rendre la terre inhabitable, non seulement pour lui mais pour toutes les formes de vie supérieures. Le paradis concentrationnaire qui s’esquisse et que nous promettent ces cons de technocrates ne verra jamais le jour parce que leur ignorance et leur mépris des contingences biologiques le tueront dans l’œuf. La seule vraie question qui se pose n’est pas de savoir s’il sera supportable une fois né mais si, oui ou non, son avortement provoquera notre mort. »
Pierre Fournier, 1969.

in fact this is the scan of the printed image , not of the negative , so I did not have to do post-processing, or almost ; just had to crop from horizontal to square ,and I applied a sepia toning to the reflection on the left side
And the grain isn't made with a software !!!
