This bar gets much busier on Sunday, so I took it earlier and got better composition with solitary figure, the sea, lemons/oranges, and liquor bottles - rather than a crowd. This is shot in F8 aperture priority - it gives you the deeper depth of field. You could push it to F11.
People drink more on Island. Expatriates are away from their family and friends so they drink more. I think it was always like that in the (British) colonies:) There is also a certain 'easiness' of life here and even with the same trappings and responsibilities(work, bills) - there is a kind of light hedonism that infiltrates life. You rarely see the kind of long gray faces you see sitting on highways and swaying in the Tube/Subways. I found it difficult to get used to London: the unfriendliness in the tube - it's almost proud trademark. I never got that - and I'm an Anglophile to the umpteenth degree. But that said: I'd live in England if it were an Island in the Caribbean. So far Cayman and Bermuda(more Anglo than Cayman) is as close as it gets - and I like that.
