Vacoas Tree, a photo from Rodrigues, Islands

Photographer's Note

This picture was not taken in Mauritius but in Rodrigues an island smaller than Mauritius which is one of its contituencies.They have a newly local administration but received funds from Mauritius.Rodrigues is now connected by plane and attract many tourists including Mauritians.The people there is quite different in their culture but speak almos same language derived from the french.Landscapes there are simply fanatastic.You could just sit and fill your without saying a word.Words cannot express all your feelings.The tree there has avery queer shape and its leaves are utilised to make objects.I hope my story has not been boring

Wonderful colours! I wonder how the water can be so blue?

The note it had not been boring at all, on the contrary its very intersting.
Wonderful tree makes a good composition on the beautiful background of cyan sea and soft blue sky.

Very interesting story (stop worrying). The p
tree is quite weird, but doesn't seem out of place in this decor. Well seen, thanks for sharing!

Amazingly saturated colours, Christian. From the thumbnail it looked flashlit. And your note was interesting too!

Non, non, l'histoire n'est pas ennuyeuse du tout, bien au contraire Christian.
Une étonnante vue avec cet arbre exotique.
Bien vu.
No, no, the history is not boring of the whole, on the contrary Christian.
A surprising sight with this exotic tree.
Seen well.
