Last Thursday, the community of Junction in St Elizabeth hosted The Gleaner's news team, which staged a Job Creation, Investment and Growth Forum at the scenic Coco Palm Restaurant.

While the visit to the popular township was primarily for work, The Gleaner team could not help but revel in the clean, peaceful, and extremely pleasant surroundings, a most welcomed departure from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

During and after the forum, the shutter of photographer Paul Clarke's camera was kept quite busy as he sought to capture the happenings as they unfolded.

Today, we give you a little something extra from that memorable trip to the popular rural township.
