Day 19/365: Sunset Contemplation, originally uploaded by boboleechron.
A woman is silhouetted as she watches the sun set into the waters of the Gulf of Paria.
Shot at the POS Waterfront. I took this a few days ago.
The dry season raises lots of dust and creates beautiful sunsets.
Its a pity that it rained cats and dogs today. Would’ve loved to take some more…
A pink Poui tree blooms on my way to work yesterday. In UWI St Augustine, the conventional wisdom around campus was that if you didn’t have your coursework under control and in your head by the time the Poui trees on Campus bloomed… you’d have a really hard time passing your exams.
Those who “didn’t hold de draff” would slowly transform into “matta beasts”; mystical creatures who lived in the library from sun up til closing time, subsisting on nothing but Nescafe coffee and very little sleep.
We also never got a haircut around exam time. Then all that we’d spent months cramming in our heads would just evaporate into thin air.
Big hair was a big plus when it came to mental retention… 😛

A billboard seen everyday on my way to the office.
It’s not where you go. It’s how you get there.
Good point.

I didn’t get to take any pictures on Monday… so here’s a consolation prize instead.
I took this shot at Mount Irvine Bay in Tobago. A vendor was selling some handmade jewellery on the beach. I took this picture sometime in October or November of 2008.
Again with the silly puns. Do you get it?
I crack myself up.
The sun sets and casts an orange glow on the National Academy for Performing Arts in Port of Spain…
Took this picture *early* Sunday morning… as in after midnight early… its the big electronic display sign above the KFC on Independence Sq in Port of Spain.
Its advertising various products & services while a countdown clock marks the hours and the minutes before The Merry Monarch makes his entrance stage left..
Well, I had to run some errands on Saturday, but I still made the time to enjoy the beautiful weather outdoors.
It really was a beautiful day – cool afternoon breezes wafting through the air, the sky the colour of the bluest blue, while sheep-like clouds dotted the sky.
These three trees can be found in the Queen’s Park Savannah in Port of Spain.
Check out more photos from my Savannah run here…
A young boy balances beer, rum and shandy bottles on the ground on the POS Waterfront.
He walked with his box, opened it up to reveal his collection of bottles, then he entertained the crowd by stacking the bottles and building some interesting bottled structures.
The occasion was the benefit concert for Haiti, held on the Waterfront that afternoon.
He was quite talented.
I was trying to find an important document today, and for the life of me, I couldn’t find it.
I did find a lot of things I’d thought I’d thrown away & some other treasures I’d long thought lost, but did I find what I was looking for? No… not tonight.
*sigh*
I did manage to unearth this ticket stub from a 3 Canal Show (concert) I attended in 2006, though.
I guess I was saving it for the $10 discount, but put it somewhere where I wouldn’t find it… until four years had almost passed.
O.o
I crack me up sometimes…
