St. Mary the Virgin Anglican Church, Cockburn Town, Grand Turk

Cockburn Town (on the island of Grand Turk) is the tiny capitol of the Turks and Caicos Islands—a small island we visited during a Caribbean cruise.

The place was pleasant, but the only building that caught my eye was this small Anglican Church along Front Street.  Built in 1899, and having survived a number of hurricanes, it looked sharp with fresh white paint and contrasting red trim.

As I was snapping photos of the church, a horse-drawn carriage passed us on Front Street.  A reminder that life on this island definitely moves at a slower pace.
