The next decade....what's in store?

Scenes from Jamaica: Construction, construction everywhere

Here are some scenes of what's happening in the Kingston/St Andrew/St Catherine metropolis.

The intersection of Marcus Garvey Drive and a road which I don't remember the name of. This is where you turn off to head on the causeway which is under construction.

Heavy duty equipment

This is the two lane highway as it is now

The road leading up to the bridge which is rusty and old

Now on the way back, these little boys did the dangerous thing of riding on a van back. When I took the picture, the two boys jumped off, ran back to the car and I just drove off. When we reached a little further, they ran up to the window again and asked "miss, why yuh tek wi picture?" Did I expect them to be violent? Yes I did. They weren't. I explained that I was taking it for my own purposes. They asked for money. See, even they know about image rights! I didn't give them any.

In New Kingston, this lot has now been cleared. Wonder if it's going to be office buildings or apartments? Whatever it is, the units will be bloody expensive.

And this is the sun setting. A view from the airport road. Looks peaceful, doesn't it? What a contradiction.
