Kingston was declared a World Heritage Site in 2010. The road in the foreground is known as Quality Row and is notable for the restored Georgian buildings that once housed the military garrison and administration including Government House. On the shorefront can be seen the ruins of the penal settlement. Kingston was also the site of the landing of Pitcairn Island descendents of the Bounty mutineers in 1856.

The huge homes must run up enormous utility bills. I like the contrast of the lush green lawns and the blue water. Nicely done, Frank.

Frank, this is a very interesting and beautiful spot, captured in an excellent way (because of your well selected vantage point as well).
Wonderful series my friend!

I agree with everyone that has commented. What a lovely looking place to live, and the overview angle of this capture works perfectly.
