The two dense, clumps of bamboo on the left dominate this photograph and are so tall that one is unable to see the grassy leaves that usually protrude from upper branches. Bamboo is a tall, tree-like grass with rounded, jointed, hollow stalks or stems. Judging from the height of the stalks on these two clumps, the bamboo may be about 10.6 meters (35 feet) high. The posts of the fence in this image have rounded tops and are made of concrete while the railings appear to be made of flattened steel. Patches of sunlight flow through gaps between bamboo and trees and light up the unpaved Maraval Road.enPlease contact the Main Library, The University of the West Indies for permission to use the digitized images. wimail@sta.uwi.eduTrinidad and TobagoPostcardsRural roads--Trinidad and TobagoBamboo--Trinidad and TobagoImage
