The Falls at Westmall is the latest incarnation of one of the country's larger and more upscale shopping malls. Step into this mall and it's easy to forget you're in a small Caribbean island. This may well have been the effect the architects were after, mimicking pristine, modernism of their North American counterparts.

And it is eye-catching, but in a sterile, unimaginative way that seemed to me totally at odds with the vibrancy and vigour of the Caribbean. Especially, the Caribbean at Carnival time.

It is also an interesting contrast on yesterday's photo of old Charlotteville, the traditional versus the modern.

Tomorrow's photo will present yet another contrast, to both these images, portraying both vibe and vigour. Stay tuned.
