The Circus Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Basseterre's French heritage is not nearly so prominent as its British colonial past. The centerpiece of the city's evocative Georgian architecture is its Circus, a diminutive roundabout modeled in proper Victorian patriotism after Piccadilly, in London. In the middle of the Circus stands the bright green bronze of the Berkeley Memorial Clock, an ornate, cast iron tower with four clock faces and more than a little architectural decoration.

Hey Marc,
That is one rarely seen town, actually even country. Truely an exotic picture. More interesting is that it doesn't look that exotic at all... Really impressive what colonialism did to other countries and how the heritages still influence the appearance of a country. Very interesting shot!

Marc,
This is a nice photo of the town of Basseterre. I visited here a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised at the lack of tourist traps. The lighting and color in this photo is nice with good sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa
