A group of young people and their adult companions arrive at Hellshire for a last day of fun and frolic as the summer vacation winds down.

This little girl, seen dumping sand on her feet, was undoutedbly enjoying her day at the beach.

7104 and 7101

There were scenes of drain cleaning and bush trimming in sections of Kingston and St Catherine yesterday. Here, debris from a drain on Payne Avenue sits on the sidewalk, waiting to be picked up by the garbage truck. (Below), men use weed whackers to trim overgrown grass on Mandela Highway.

We’re not sure which company this man was representing, but we noted that he was not wearing basic safety gear while working on the electricy wires at the entrance to Greater Portmore, yesterday.
