Photography Life

Panorama is usually held annually around Carnival time in Trinidad and Tobago. It is a music competition of steelbands. If you are not familiar with Trinidad culture you might be asking yourself, “what is steelbands”. The Steelpan is a musical instrument that originated in Trinidad and Tobago. The instrument is made from steel drums and pan sticks are used to beat the drums to create sound or music. Steelbands are an orchestra of steelpan players. Pictured above is one very popular steelband called “Exodus”. Here they are in their performance at Panorama at Carnival 2018.

That time of year is coming around again!!!  My favourite time........when the Poui Tree blooms in all its magnificence.  Blooming in various colours; white, pink and the yellow pictured here. The leaves of the Poui fall majestically to the ground and the children love to run and play in the beautiful carpet it creates. The photo and video captured above was Around the Savannah in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago and is a wonderful specimen of the Poui in all its glory. Look out for them all around Trinidad and Tobago in the coming weeks.
