Caribbean towns are know for their colorful facades and Dominica is no exception. Singularly, you may think these color composites were chosen by a blind man, but collectively, they help bring life to the streets. Here’s a collection of some of my favorite color combinations from the capital of Dominica, Roseau and around.
Santo Domingo Patterns
The Colonial Zone (Zona Colonial) of Santo Domingo is full of history and the architecture shows it. There are churches with a mix of Baroque paintings, Gothic ceilings and Romanesque sculptures. Patterns are always a characteristics I look out for; they give history, ambiance, balance and are used for more practical purposes. Here are a few of my favorite from the area.
Don Dahlke
A master of contrast and lighting, Don Dahlke’s playful oil paintings helps me escape into Caribbean tranquility. Via Cutter & Cutter Fine Art in St. Augustine, Florida.
On The Road Again

On my one month (+) nomadic road trip along the (southern) eastern states. Here’s a photo of my dad helping me wash washing my car, getting it ready for its first day of school. In Maryland, soon to be Virginia, and before I know it, I’ll be in Tampa for one of my best friend’s wedding!
19th Century Handwritten Scripts
Recently, I had a train layover at Washington, D.C. and stopped by next door to one of my favorite and best curated (in my opinion) museums, the National Postal Museum. Looking back at the photos I took, aside from tons photos of stamps, I took plenty of photos of handwriting particularly from the 1800′s. Above is handwriting from a letter from Duncan Clinch in 1836, during the second Seminole War. See some of the photos of handwriting I took, and a round up of my favorite 19th century inspired fonts below the jump.
