I chose this photo because it is an old building and the moss on the walls made it look pretty. There are not that many old buildings left.
This picture is of Bermuda College building. The only college in Bermuda. My mommy goes to this college to get her degree.
My mommy work at this place and i want to share it because it shows the beauty of the mother earth, from the beautiful sunshine, the trees, and my favourite dog her name is PAGET,with the natural BERMUDA HOUSE that represents the stairs,windows, and the roof. This house called Bermuda's Favourite Haunts
Did you Know some walls are made of bricks, and some are made of limestone? Well, my wall is made out of bricks and limestone. I chose this picture because it looks cool. Bermuda builders are smart builders. This wall stands tall no matter what storm hits it. My mom told me there was a saying, “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me.” She said I can say bricks and stones can break bones. She explained what that means. I disagree. Words can hurt sometimes. So, just like my wall, let’s use words to help us stand tall, not hurt us.
These Sanitation workers are the best! I chose this photo because if we did not have these workers, the world would stink. They take the things that nobody wants and collect them with a smile. They burn the trash that can’t be recycled or reused in a giant furnace. That means they are willing to take the heat for us! Before I asked them to take their picture, they were working hard. They smiled and collected, which was pretty cool. Nothing seems to bother them. That makes them the best sanitation workers in Bermuda.
This Lizard is hanging on the gate between the playground and the library. He’s just watching students walk by. I chose this photo because I love nature. When I took the picture, it looked like he was posing just for me. This Lizard is acting like he’s cool as a cucumber! Nature is the best!
Brothers imitating their hero bodybuilder daddy's favorite pose! Family is everything.
Nature fighting against Human invasion of its space! Who will win?
National Sports Centre Pavillion North Field in the background of my brothers football game. Family is everything!
My favorite cousin and I posing after we played our favorite sports football! Bermuda People at its best! Family love!
For as long as I could remember this Cedar Tree has been where I've taken all my 1st Day of school pictures, my school theme Grub Days and any memorable moments my mom thought was worth of documenting with a photo. In all of those pictures the tree was completely green but today when it was my turn to document my favorite tree it put on an extra special color just for me orange and green! Can you feel the Love!
My Bermuda Building is a picture of my home which I love and share with my family. My home is warm like the Sun that's captured in my picture. Hope you can feel it!
I chose this photo because it shows where I live and the palm trees. There are palm trees all around Bermuda. Some are tall and some are short. There are Bermuda Palm Trees in Bermuda.
This photo of Hamilton Town Crier Ed represents the theme as he is very recognisable and is always at events like Harbour Nights. When we met Ed to take this photo, we chose the colourful mural for the background. The mural shows what it’s like to live in Bermuda.
Roofs on homes in Bermuda are unique because it is how we obtain our fresh water. Bermuda roofs are built with limestone slate and a stone gutter near the edge of the roof to catch the water down the pipe into our tank. I chose this photo because it represents people living safely which makes me appreciate where we live. I learned in history class that many years ago people had to gather cedar wood and palm leaves to build shelter.
The ocean is important to nature. The ocean feeds us and generates most of the oxygen we breathe. I see beautiful blue water, a huge wave and a lot of land in this picture. It makes me happy because nature is cool and if you look closely, you may see something neat.
We were driving along Trimingham Hill when and I saw the sunset and was captured by the colors. My aunt then drove to Pontoons, were I was able to capture this calm and relaxing picture. This image shows a glass like reflection with colors blending together in the sky, red and blue making purple hues. My Aunt taught me a trick to stop the camera from shaking, to hold my breath, like this breath taking picture.
I was playing on my climbing frame when I saw a small lizard - I was so excited to see as I had seen him before but I hadn’t got my camera - I picked this picture as it shows unique lizards that live in our beautiful Bermuda. It’s means beauty to me. It represents the theme with its beautiful patterns and because it’s a lizard that lives in Bermuda.
Arriving or leaving Bermuda Im always greeted with turquoise water and yellow sandy beaches. This is my picture taking off over Coopers island on a dull and cloudy October day but still the color of the water and sand are beautiful.
I saw these mushrooms when I was on a family walk at Spittal Pond. It reminded me of a little woodland village where some fairies might live.
This broken building used to be part of the Gosling family estate, it’s now part of the grounds where I live at Strawberry Hill in Paget. I chose it because the Gosling family are an important part of Bermudian History and I like looking at the building from the swimming pool.
I chose this photo because the rocks & water are cool. It looks like the deepest cave ever that will lead to another world. Caves are fun to explore in Bermuda.
I chose this photo because it represents where we live in Bermuda which is a special place for me. The sunrise looked really cool on this day so I asked my mom if I could take a photo on her phone. This photo represents the theme nature and wildlife because it's the sun that helps plants grow and the sun is bright and allows you to see things. It also represents the ocean. I love the ocean because you can see different animals in the water.
I love this photo because of how pretty the birds look sitting on their arch. I like the Kiskadees colors, they are very beautiful, and the smaller bird is delightful also. I think it represents nature because of how the birds look peaceful as nature, often, is.
Camden House is very beautiful. I like the nature surrounding the very pretty white building. I like the shutters, they make the house look neat and sophisticated. The house stands out from the plants because of its lines and shapes that are different from the surrounding nature.
This picture shows the peace and calmness of Bermuda’s water. I took this picture while on a walk.
My name is Rome Dill and I chose this photo because I dance gombeys with this troupe. Gombey Evolution Troupe and the gombeys are a part of Bermuda culture. We danced this night for guests and they liked our performance. Everyone likes the gombeys and enjoys the music and culture.
