Sunset over the Old Fort, Bequia
It was a lovely dusky pinky blue sunset here a few days ago and I decided to head over to the Hamilton Old Fort, overlooking the bay and out towards West Cay and the end of the island. Built in the 1770's as one of three forts defending Admiralty Bay, the original fort has long since gone, but French and English cannons, recovered from the waters around Bequia, now adorn the site.
The sun had already set, but the colours were being caught by the clouds across the entire sky. It was a shame there weren't more clouds!
The canons make it an interesting viewpoint, with the guns pointed out across the incoming waters, a great defensive position.
