Bajan Tuh De Bone

Yeah...but that's just a portion of the Pine DLT. You can't see the section by Parkinson School and CBC in dis shot, neither can you see the section by Errol Barrow park. Along that main road in the pic is where you'll find MTW (Ministry of Transportation and Works) and BWA (Barbados Water Authority) which are also out of the frame. The wide open space in the middle is known as the Pine Basin.

Here Waltz...I did it for yuh. It was a lengthy process, but if I had to do it again it would be much quicker because I know exactly what I would have to do.

1. First I had to download and install the free tagging software from here: http://www.fototagger.com/downloads
2. Then I had to open the original image from inside Fototagger and add the tags (notations and pointers)
3. Then I found out that when I tried to save it, the tags do not save with it...the tags are only visible inside the Fototagger program.
4. So I decided to do a Shift-PrntScrn (screen shot) of the image as it is inside the Fototagger program, then I opened Microsoft Paint (Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Paint) and pasted it in there.
5. Then I saved it using Paint as a bitmap(bmp) image file, but I realized that the bmp file was a bit too large (over 2mb) for my liking.
6. So I opened the bmp file again in Paint, then saved it as a jpeg file which reduced the size to 117kb.

Here's another one. Who recognises the group of taller buildings at the forefront of this pic? This is in St. Michael again.

Well my granfadduh din own none dis land hay but dem same tall buildings - I never had tuh use dem myself but so many friends & family cause me tuh guh in dey tuh visit dem

Man you from all ovah de place Waltz. Anyway, yuh cud download de free software and get some practice tagging pictures and saving them the tags.

OOps...I tagged the wrong building as the "Globe Cinema" in dah last pic. The Globe Cinema is actually to the left of that building and right below the words "Queen's Park".

Oh yeah, I tink de wun yuh tag 1st is de Blades & Williams compound.

Yeah, dah next tuh Esso gas station in Tweedside Road.

I've been studying this picture for quite a while trying to figure out exactly where it is, but I still can't come up with the answer. I'm thinking that it is somewhere in St. Joseph but I'm not certain. Do any of you know where it is??

No but I tinking de terrain look a little flat fuh St. Joseph/St. Andrew

Well I have a mission for this Sunday afternoon. I gine print a copy of this pic and me and de family gine drive round de country in search of this place...uh gine show it to people along the way ask dum if they familiar with it. St. Thomas also comes to mind when I look at it.

Yeah, I was saying um cud be St. Thomas or eastern St. James probably pon de western side of de watershed.
Course yuh know dat it gine turn out dat we did dead wrong?

...probably.

Well I not too long got back from my mission and I have located...but not without some help...and you wouldn't believe where it is.

When I left home I headed straight for St. Thomas...passed thru Welchman Gully, then thru a place name Canefield, and then I decided to ask a fella I saw walking on the street...when I showed him the pic he looked at it for about 10 seconds then said..."man dah look like Speightstown". I said ok, and thanked him...but I didn't think he was right. Anyway, my daughter insisted that we go Speightstown and look for it...so I said sure what de heck.

Don't you know that as soon as we passing Chefette in Speightstown my wife seh "look it there". So I stopped and parked, and sure enough that was the spot...I couldn't believe that I passed there a million times but that spot didn't register with me. I took these pics...the first one was taken on the bridge next to the Chefette parking lot, and the other was taken from the bridge right in front Fisherman's Pub (where de original was taken from).

My camera is not of the best quality (phone camera), but in the second pic you'll notice that there are blue lamp posts along the right hand side that doesn't exist in the original pic which had to be taken quite a while back.

Is de Salt Pond!!! See?? I tell yuh we did gine be way off de mark
I doan tink I see de Salt Pond since dey canalise it doah.
