Notes:
*# 01. leadlights: I'm thinking of wonderful stained glass/leadlight work that I see a lot of here. One local artist makes the most beautiful Australian birds and when they are hanging they shine in the sun-- the colours are fabulous.
*# 04. Kiskadees although they are garden birds they are seen in people populated areas, where they will pick up chicken bones, scraps of cloth, twigs...
*# 09. Sailor Mas is a traditional Trinidad Carnival Figure
*# 17. In Trinidad and Tobago Carnival is a pre Lenten Festival ending on the Tuesday which precedes Ash Wednesday.
*# 23. Pierrot Grenade another traditional Trinidad Carnival Figure his costume is made from layers of fabric strips.*# 56. Steelpan: National instrument of Trinidad & Tobago ( Made from the oil drum)
