You may remember the prints I showed of old houses in Port of Spain, Trinidad, several weeks ago. We were on our way to holiday on the island of Tobago. We enjoyed it very much; so much so that we went again the following year. Today's prints were bought on the island along with a couple of others that I'll show another time. From their style, it won't surprise you to know that they are by the same artist. This small house, with its rusting corrugated roof, is in the community of Carnbee, around three miles from the capital, Scarborough.
This picture is of 'The Sewing Machine Shop' on Wilson Road, Scarborough. Like any capital, this is a bustling town and it was fascinating to wander around the streets and the market, where just about anything one might want was on display. Given that our visits were some ten years ago, I'm sure the island will have seen changes. It certainly seems to have become even more popular as a holiday destination but I hope its essential character remains.

Those are lovely!
Just for a moment I thought you meant "our" Scarborough! Nice contrasting pictures Derrick - I enjoyed seeing your collection of art work, as always.
Fun shots. I have finally written another poem! A birthday ode for hubby.
Good to see these. Not quite like Scarborough as I know it!
The unique homes and buildings of places make very special remembrances of the people there.
It is my hope that these charming examples have not changed.
Have agreat week, Derrick.
Lovely. I like how you have a personal connection to all your framed pieces. Happy Monday!
I can imagine the fascination of wandering around such a place.
The charm of these is frozen in time..I'd love to step into them and snoop around!
Oh very nice. I'm eternally fascinated with houses, the more obviously lived in the better, and the more diverse the better, and especially the different structures people in different cultures and climates call home.
The first picture is great, Derrick. Although it's simple, its details are prominent, I like it very much! :-)
