Bermuda.



Some of these go back to the late 1800s.


ENJOY


Oh, why take pics with the digital cameras so many of you have at home growing cobwebs? One picture from the late 1800s of a spot that would later become Broadway in Manhattan, N.Y sold for $62,000 this past week. Check your family's old collection of pics of outdoor shots from way back when. You might have some money waiting.

They remind me of how ifelt when I learn inmy history classes. and it was not good. it seem like a confirmation that somebody really owe black Jamaicans a lot for what they went through.

But that is just me..what do u know..... I have lots of pocs like those.with blacks look so demeaning. Yet no one ever attempt to set things right.
natives need no bridge.

You might not appreciate it as much as I do considering you won't recognize the places as I would being home for me, but the pics capture a time past that is so refreshing. Check out this one:

There weren't pics of Antigua in the mix of pictures, Sukuna? I think on another site I posted a link to some pics of (old) Antigua. I need to see if I can find the link.
