Any ideas where it might be?
I'll be in Tobago from the 25th and I'd like to visit this place.

Hi Thanks
That is what I was thinking though I've never been to Bucco myself.
It is maybe the one place I haven't been and thus I said might be Bucco.

Hi Lisa
Spot on. Its taken from the jetty where the glass-bottom boats leave Buccoo and is looking over towards the main beach. The wall you can see in the extreme left is the groin/jetty just by the fishing co-operative.

And another.
Any ideas?
It is a little off the beaten track.

Hmmm.
Is it a photo down those funny looking concrete pipes near the Rex Turtle Beach Hotel?

Hmmm! Well, what could we expect from an anorak.
My only guess is the concrete water/drainage pipes just past the Turtle Beach Hotel heading towards Plymouth.

Blast. Beaten by a minute. At least great minds think alike Paul.

Hmmm.
What concerns me just a little ... is why the photograph was taken of those pipes?
Never mind ...

As I said, maybe the clue is in the title (take it from one who knows

)

Paul & Steve W,
The two of you must be artistic barbarians
It is actually a very interesting photo and if taken by Steve P he deserves a round of applause. It's not easy to visualize the artistic effect that can be found in every day items.
Good job Steve
Bill

Well thank you Bill.
A photo I took in May '07 and the 'pipes' are still there, so maybe you can keep an eye out for them Steph
The chief anorak is correct - no, it's not the water pipes at RTB, but both the URL of the photo (which only he can see I presume) and the subtitle 'off the beaten track' contain a criptic clue.
Keep guessing folks.
How weird will this get?
Cheers
Steve

Ok.
I recall seeing some pipes like these along the new road from L'Ansi Formi to Charlottesville and assume these could be excess to requirements for diverting streams under the road.
Can't remember exactly where they were though.

Just a quick try for the "blocks" that block the old road that goes from Castara to the Hillsborough Dam.

You're close Paul W. In a structural sense.
Still several miles out though.
This is proving more fun than I imagined

Oh, he's such a tease!
I'm going to try and absolve myself of any ignorance here. Steve, am I right in assuming that these 'blocks' were not there in February/March this year (when I was last there)?
