This past few days, I'm loving illustrations (Thanks to Garance Dore's simplicity illustrations!). I think they are the eyes of life that you can interpret with various types of lines, colors, or even textures.





MONTPELIER PLANTATION, Charlestown, St. Kitts and Nevis

The twin-island nation: St. Kitts and Nevis (hint: a carribean country near Puerto Rico) is a birthplace of Alexander Hamilton. The islands are blessed with heavenly pleasure of relaxation such as white sand beaches, lush vegetation, and miles of old sugar roads for biking (and by the way, this is a sugar plantation). No wonder Alexander Hamilton become the 1st United States Secretary of Treasury, his treasure is his birthplace!
