St. Kitts Scenic Railway (19) - 12 March 2019

Parsons Estate

The St. Kitts Scenic Railway was built (1912-26) to facilitate the transportation of sugar cane from the island's estates to the factory at Basseterre. The largely ruined estates are marked today by the remains of windmills and chimneys. I found these pleasing architectural remnants reminiscent of the landscape of Cornwall where abandoned tin mines are marked by similar features, usually chimneys and pump houses.

Geogtagging approximate.
