Peekchures!

[bcholmes]

Siobhan took these with my camera. Me, I'm no good at pictures. I never think, "hey, I bet that'd make a great picture." I suck at pictures.

Remember the forts we visited. Here are some pictures:

All that really remains of the first fort:

The second fort, not really accessible:

The third fort, in the far distance at the very edge of the cliff:

The "front" of the third fort:

Upper level, with recent wooden structures:

Cannons!

That looks fabulous. Hopefully you at least get something out of having someone take some pictures, even if you're not so good at taking them yourself.

Reminds me of Fort Beauséjour.

interesting. any idea why those wooden structures are there, and why they're painted in those colours? (maybe you said and i forgot or missed it; i'll go back to reread the original post to see.)

I think that some of them had been housing animals; I think a seremoni had taken place there recently (it had been Fet Gede at the beginning of the month).

The colours -- blue and red -- are the colours of the Haitian flag (the first Haitian flag was the French flag with the white taken out).
