A colonial era postal collection box stands in front of the Pompey Museum of Slavery & Emancipation at Vendue House in downtown Nassau. Â Like all of these scattered throughout the globe, it was manufactured in Scotland.
The box bears the Royal Cypher George Rex (Latin meaning “King”). Because there are no other numerals around the cypher, this postbox most likely was installed no later than 1936 when George V abdicated the throne for romance and was given the post of Governor of the Bahamas.

Throughout the Caribbean, and more widely, Commonwealth, police dress in their former British colonial era khakis or whites. This shot was taken during a brief respite from COVID lock down.
Photo was shot along West Street on the premises of the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas. Across the street is the old St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, dating back to 1886.
I must have looked crazy, bent over with my head in the sand, taking a photo of a passport just inches away from the tide! It’s one of my favourite beaches in The Bahamas, not because of the quality of the sand, but because of the view of the lighthouse in the background.
Portrait orientation of “In The Darkness, I Will Meet My Creators”.
Sometimes this place serves as a venue for couples to take their wedding photos. It’s idyllic.
Low lying cumulus clouds float above an atoll at “Blue Hour”. My father, born in 1938 on Cat Island, used kerosene lamps during hurricanes. All the walls in our house were painted white, and when I asked him why, he said so we could see better when the storm shutters were closed. Some wisdom is always lost with the passing of older generations. If you have time, please take a minute to read “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden. Thanks dad, for polishing my shoes when no one was looking.
I’m forever amazed that people used to demarcate streets by putting tiles on walls rather than freestanding signs. Sunningridge is a short distance from Graycliff, and across the street from the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas.
Many migrants occupy this area, either in the ruins of the estate or in the bushes nearby. I was walking my dog in this area and suddenly a government bus pulled up aside and the driver asked if I was a Bahamian citizen. Strangely, all it took for this man to drive away was for me to say yes.
