Fort King George - Tobago

Fort King George is located in Tobago. Not to be confused with Fort George located in Trinidad. The old Scarborough hospital sits right next door. When the hospital was operational it was easier to get a taxi back to downtown. The walk to downtown is an easy one outside of rain falling. The main attractions are the views and canons. There is a museum, toilet facilities and about two parlours with drinks and snacks on sale. Tourist will be interested in the trinkets on sale at the back of the main building. Photos are from more than one visits.

Simplicity

This exhibition is called simply "Simplicity". They say a picture paints a thousand words but sometimes one word is just enough.

If you are wondering is not any fancy camera or gear used. Just the cheapest Samsung A14 phone. I think my skill and eye for photography can be credited mostly for how these came out.

Bird Photography in Trinidad and Tobago

Image
So I started walking with my old (8+ years) point and zoom Nikon P90 in my knapsack when I go long distance walking. Sharpness, detail and colours will be lacking but I can still hone my skills. There are some areas I pass where I can catch sight of birds. I am amateur at birding and it has been on and off for me and I seem to have lost my Birds of Trinidad and Tobago  book (I had an older edition I bought in Nigel R Khan Tobago). Birds are majestic and make interesting subjects for photographing. Here are some recent shots I took. Also as part of this blog post I am creating a (work in progress) list of links showing birds of Trinidad and Tobago that can help with naming the birds you see. Did you know that there is a Trinidad & Tobago Bird Status & Distribution Committee  and what about this funny birding language, "patterns of avian vagrancy"? Read on one website that the number of bird species (in Trinidad and Tobago) is 468. Follow me on instagram or twitter to s...
