Anyone that's visited Trinidad since the arrival of the Americans in 1941 knows this road and its beautiful scenery very well. From the entrance pillars to the fresh water fountain to the amazing lookout these lovely shots will certainly evoke some bittersweet memories of family life in colonial Trinidad. This road was built by American SeaBees (Construction Battalions) early in WW2 to compensate Trinidadians for the loss of their bathing beaches when the US Naval Station was built at Chaguaramas. Some of these same scenes can be seen in my film Trinidad 1948. One thing I have never seen before though is the beautiful rainbow captured by the cameraman!
