  1. What an incredible, magical island and a perfect example of plants having real lives, even a sense of personality. I had no idea this place existed. It looks like it could be the setting for another Tolkien film. Thank you so much for posting on it.

  2. How wonderfully otherworldly...I have put it on my list of places I most want to visit! I love the different flora and fauna! I could spend an eternity there taking photos...just lose myself there! If I ever go missing everyone, look for me here if I'm not in Ireland! Thanks Cletis for sharing this so very magickal place!

  4. Hello Cletis, congratulations on the pictures! I am a Brazilian professor, and I am writing a book about world coastal heritage sites. The book will be published in English by Springer, in The Netherlands. I am looking for two pictures of the coast of Socotra Island to illustrate the book, and I am coming to ask you if you can help me. All credits would be given. I thank you for the your attention, and for the kindness of an answer. Thank you.
