Carter House

This pretty 17th century stone cottage is thought to be one of the oldest buildings still standing in Bermuda. Today it is the St David's Island Historical Society Museum.

Tucker House

A plaque on the wall of Tucker House, a Bermuda National Trust property in the Town of St George. What really caught my eye though was the shadows of the rough plastering thrown by the early morning light.

Pirate Ship!

Pirates! I'm not sure what the story is of this rusty ship. It's been anchored in St George's Harbour for quite a while, but this summer was the first time I had noticed its flag!

Gurnet Rock under Towering Clouds

Gurnet Rock rises off Nonsuch Island on the south shore reef line. It took a battering in Hurricane Fabian in 2003, but is still standing. Apparently sharks come through the reef line near this rock at night!

Sunrise through Red Mangroves

Early morning light on the waves gently washing in through the red mangroves at Blue Hole Nature Reserve in Castle Harbour. The roots of these plants arch out into the sand and silt to support themseves. The black mangroves are notable for their roots which grow vertically up out of the sand like snorkels, and essentially carry out that function. Properly, they're called pneumatophors. I'll show a photograph of them sometime.

Dawn over Turtle Bay, St Davids

Sunrise over the east of the island. This is Turtle Bay, just along from Cooper's Island which has recently been converted to a nature reserve. St David's Light House is just visible on the skyline across the bay.

Stewart Hall

If you wander the back streets of St Georges, you will likely come across Stewart Hall, built c.1707, which today houses the Bermuda Perfumery.

The Unfinished Church, St Georges

These pillars and arches may appear to be in ruins, but in fact the church was never built in its entirety anyway. The church was under construction when a fire damaged the cathedral and so funds were diverted away to that. Thus the apparent ruins continue to stand over the Town of St Georges today.

I used the 'Orton' blur method on this photograph which I thought gave it a sort of light that made it seem not quite dead. Hope you enjoy this photo!

Bermuda's newest nature reserve.

Club Med goes BANG BANG BANG!!

This was an old Club Med hotel, previously a Holiday Inn, but it has been a derelict eyesore for the last 20 years or so. It finally was brought down today in less than 5 seconds by tons of dynamite. Sooo exciting!! The area had been cordoned off but 100s boats anchored offshore for prime viewing. Just a normal Monday morning event here in Bermuda...I wish!
