A Pretty View
of Apia
There were some views of Apia that fell more into the category
of art, than travel images. Hopefully,
you will agree!
As we walked down Main Beach Road, we approached what I thought
was most likely an old estate home that was now a hotel. I was certainly surprised to find out that
today, it’s a casino!
In a previous post, I talked about how bright colors were used
in slightly unusual ways. This clock
tower is such a bright pink color – most unusual, but somehow, appropriate in
Apia!
This image of the colorful flowers found in town just seemed
made for a watercolor sketch, and so that’s what it became. It is one of my favorite images from this day
of all the lovely ones I took.
I have no idea what this flower is, but I absolutely love
it. The shading of the orange apricot
petals offset by the green foliage behind the tiny little blooms is almost
delicious.
And, finally, this great image of a palm tree with coconuts up
high. I made sure to stand so that if a
coconut fell off the tree, it didn’t hit me, and I couldn’t help but think of
the song that talks about the lime in the coconut!
Enjoy!
