What caught my eye about these two cats was how well cared for they looked, which is not exactly common in Fiji where cats are generally scrawny and rough looking. Then I spotted how alert the one cat is, in contrast to the black one that is fast asleep!
Palm trees, water, beach umbrella, stunning sunset.
What more do you need for the perfect Fiji sunset? (Ooh, I know, a cocktail!)
A Fijian island on the horizon with a perfect sky above.
Isn’t this just the ideal tropical island view? Shot from the tall ship ‘Tenacious’ in June 2016.
Heavy grey clouds with a glow of light.
A golden glow below the gloomy clouds across the bay in Suva, Fiji.
It looks as if the end of the world is nigh!
What a sky! I love those shafts of light through the glowering clouds, and the moody, menacing atmosphere. I took this from the Holiday Inn in Suva, the capital of Fiji.
Only the legs are left!
In Suva (the capital of Fiji), there is a lovely garden named in honour of Sir John Bates Thurston, governor between February 1888 and March 1897. While the lawns, trees and plants are well looked after, the monuments and fountains have had a tougher time. This fountain must have been very impressive when it was new and the basin was full of water. I can imagine children running through the water on a hot day, splashing each other and laughing with glee.
Defunct, decrepit, destroyed …
Clock at the Museum of Fiji, Suva.
This clock tower was built in 1918 in memory of the first mayor of Suva (the capital of Fiji). Sadly, it’s a bit run down these days.
