This painting is a 1920's prune orchard which existed off North First Street (now center of Silicon Valley businesses) in San Jose, CA. The Santa Clara Valley at that time was called "The Valley of Hearts Delight" - an agricultural community rich with fruit orchards.

This paainting was in town of Portsmouth near Fort Wayne on the island of Dominica. This island has the most unusual diving, rain forests and unbelievable hikes... The boy crossing the street and the buildings captured the island culture. It is a small and relatively sparsely populated island . Many of the inhabitants are native Carib Indians; the island is a blend of cultures: African, Creole, French, English. The most unusual hike and most demanding is a 6 hour hike of 8 miles to the world's largest Sulfaterra.
