Norris poses for a close-up shot with a happy small group, some of which are his private transport tour guests, at a location deep inside the Green Grotto Caves in Ocho Rios, St. Ann. There’s another man, three ladies, two girls and a small boy that Norris is lifting up. The woman to his right holds up one of the little girls in her hands also. Because the cave is dark lights are placed inside so persons can see the rock formations and water from there, as well as to hopefully catch a picture or two. The adults have partly swimwear on, as visits to the caves are usually conducted from or before going to the water falls nearby at Dunn’s River Falls.
