I was playing with the settings on my camera as we crossed over the border from the Dominican Republic into Haiti. I thought the effect was kind of cool, especially as in the low light conditions regular pictures wouldn’t have turned out well anyway. Nevertheless, if you hate it, the rest of my Haiti pictures are of the normal variety.
This is on the Haiti side of the border checkpoint and the lake in the background is Étang Saumâtre. As you can see, it has flooded a section of the border post:

Some scenes along the road to Port-au-Prince:
One of the nicer houses in the area:
These people were picking through a field of rubble looking for edible plants:
The first of many (but never enough) goats I would see in Haiti:










Neat pix. I’d say that one goat is plenty.
Nice pix! That’s my hometown. We would spend some summer weeks there near the lake. Reminiscent of a time when things were better in the early 80s. Thanks for sharing!
