Our beauty spots being desecrated
Dear Editor,
Your feature on Sunday April 29, “Jamaica Wow counting down to 50”, contains inaccuracies.
The photo captioned Blue Lagoon is not of Blue Lagoon in Portland, and the film of the same name was not made there. The photos of Somerset Falls ignore the truth – that this once beautiful place has been all but destroyed in the making of an entertainment venue. Yes, you can still see the waterfalls in your photos, but the uglification is not shown. The truth is that most of our beauty spots are being desecrated into “attractions”, with the willing cooperation of the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA).
