It’s a picturesque view from the Lady Young Road lookout which weaves around the mountainside that elevates drivers from Barataria into the heart of the capital city, Port of Spain, Trinidad.

The lookout shows the three towers that have become the countries latest landmarks, the twin Financial Towers officially known as the Eric Williams Financial Complex that house the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance. The blue-mirrored glass tower known as the Nicholas Tower was the tallest building in the capital in 2006, but at the rapid rate that the new waterfront development is going up it won’t hold this title for long.

To the front, the new shipping complex is near completion. Ferries and top line catamarans shuttle passengers back and forth to the sister island of Tobago.

To the west of Port of Spain is the affluent side of town where ex-pats and the wealthy reside. Million dollar houses line the copious areas of Westmoorings and Goodwood Park. The big white exclusive apartment buildings perch on the waterfront overlooking the Caribbean Sea with prices starting from one million TT dollars and the red roofing tiles of huge properties dot the landscape

There it sits, picturesque and serene, Trinidad's capital city of Port of Spain from the Lady Young Road.
