[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is St. Vincent's lovely capital 'Kingstown'. This is not a very sharp or clear photo but I just had to include it among my favourites. This is actually a SLIDE that I scanned and it was taken 31 years ago.
The scenery surrounding this city was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Steep mountains covered in a tangle of lush vegetation, cool waterfalls, black and white sand beaches, colorful bougainvillea, and turquoise water - this is St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Trailing along in the southern Caribbean, St. Vincent lies 24 miles south of St. Lucia and 100 miles west of Barbados. St. Vincent called "the mainland" by locals and the Grenadines, well over 30 smaller islands and cays (keys) resemble a large kite (St. Vincent) and a tail of islands stretching nearly 45 miles to the southwest. Some of the more popular Grenadine islands include Young Island, Bequia (Beck-way), Mustique (Mus-teek), Canouan (Can-nu-wan), Mayreau (My-ro), Union Island, Palm Island, and Petit (petty) St. Vincent. Part of the Windward Island chain, these tropical gems are just being discovered by travelers worldwide."

Even if it's not very sharp, that's not so important - I am happy to discover this part of the world ! Apparently, another small tropical paradise !

you see, why i really like the photo, not because of the composition (which i find really good;)) or the tones.
the main reason it was shot long ago, when i was not even born yet. it really nice to see the pics captured in the past time that is gone, in fact

thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing more pictures from the past
