Description
"Treasure Cay Church, The Bahamas" by Catherine Sherman.
Beautiful cirrocumulus clouds seem to converge on the Church of St. Simon by the Sea in Treasure Cay, Great Abaco Island, The Bahamas. The turquoise-trimmed white church, which is Anglican/Episcopal, was established in 1972 and dedicated in 1999. The church can seat 150. A bougainvillea blooms near the front door.
This photograph was taken in November 2017. I'm not sure whether this church is still standing. On September 1, 2019 - Hurricane Dorian struck Elbow Cay on Great Abaco as a Category 5 hurricane, with one-minute sustained winds of 185 mph (298 km/h), wind gusts over 220 mph (355 km/h), and a central barometric pressure of 910 millibars (27 inHg). This made Dorian the first Category 5 hurricane to strike the Bahamas since 1992, and the strongest hurricane on record to strike the country.
