RE: Walk With Me To Parea, Huahine, French Polynesia
This is a very beautiful post. Hard to pick one image. Every photograph is better than the previous one, but then, all look equally amazing.
I'm going to pick the one with the tern on the stick. So delicate, balanced, peaceful.
I loved this walk; all your stories and background information. Very valuable. It's good to know that despite all the crazy development iin the world, there are still places like this one, preserved and pretty much pristine for us to still imagine what paradise must be like
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your very kind words. Yes, I agree about the balance in that image, and it seems to have a big story to tell! Yes, the only other place I had encountered like with was 15 years ago on Fiji, but now that particular place now has a massive resort with a hotel, condos and a golf course etc. I heard from a local resident that the majority keeps voting down any big scale development for tourism!
They do the right thing. Greed tears the bag, as people say over here. they can still make money and preserve the emvironment
Yes, such progress has its ups and downs. My husband visited French Polynesia 27 years ago, and he was disappointed to see that Moorea had become more commercialized in the area closest to where the ferries come from Tahiti. And there was quite a lot of traffic on the road, making walking from the resort a bit more hazardous! Huahine was the same as it was 27 years ago, he said!!
