Mitchum finds land

This is Minister Bay, just east of Bacolet Bay on the Atlantic side of Tobago. SJ

Mitchum and Kerr where the Bacolet river runs into Minister Bay.

Further along Minister Bay now. SJ

The same aquatic conference as above.

So completely overgrown, I had to resort to a reverse pov. SJ

The start of a pan to show Minister Bay. This shot must have been taken from the hills beyond where the Claude Noel Highway runs into Windward Road.

This was taken at sea level rather than up the hill, but it does show the arboreal promontory. SJ

Panning right

Going for a slightly arty shot here but there's the other promontory. I'm sure this can be improved. SJ

  • 'Now' required

And again: the growth on the beach was much sparser over 60 years ago.

And again

Again at sea level rather than up the hill. Maybe a Tobagonian, or adventurous tourist, can do better than this. SJ
