The Three-Dimensional Turks and Caicos Map
One of the most-photographed examples of art in the country is the three-dimensional Turks and Caicos map on the wall of the central building in Ports of Call.
Created by local artist Pamela Leach in 1996, this artwork beautifully depicts the signature ocean shades of turquoise and blue in the Turks and Caicos.
When photographing the map, avoid shadows by visiting either in the morning (the map will be in the shade) or later in the afternoon (the map will have full sunlight).
