A tree with a sunset view to the sea

There are days when settling down and starting a travel business on a Pacific Island feels slightly tempting as an alternative career.

Like this day, years and years ago.

Not the most challenging hike along the ridge to the top of this tropical island, but the stunning view was worth far more than the afternoon light effort.
Backpacking along a Pacific island like Tavewa, hopping along the Yasawa islands chain in Fiji near Equator got its challenges.

Not big ones. But still.

Then, enjoying part of the vast body of water that is the South Pacific, the different size and types of islands, the colours and the outlook into the far horizon, and the different types of vessels people use to get around.

It makes your mind fly and the inspiration flow.
Still does.

Photo shows an outlook view from an elevated hill towards a set of smaller pacific islands. The nearest is a low crescent shaped one with palm trees and forest and a white beach. Behind the low island is an island with a set of small hills and small natural harbours with some huts and some boats moored. Behind the Pacific is stretching towards the horizon where there might be some island shapes under a light blue afternoon sky, with some clouds building up. In front of the photo there is a single small tree sharing the view. Down the hill for the tree, there is a larger body of water and two thirds of the way to the low beach island there are a collection of sailboats, motorboats and a small cruise ship berthed for the night. The sea is deep indigo blue. The tree has the warm colours of a late afternoon setting sun.

Ein altes Fischerhaus direkt am Wasser, gemauert aus grauen, naturbelassenen Steinen. Das Dach ist mit Schiefer gedeckt, die Fensterrahmen sind weiß gestrichen. An der Wand hängt ein Rettungsring, vor dem Haus liegen zwei Ruderboote auf einer gepflasterten Rampe die zum Wasser führt.

📢 Dear @southchinamorningpostrss ,

😱 m̶a̶i̶n̶l̶a̶n̶d̶ *(just plain) Chinese
Using the word "#mainland" implies that #Taiwan 🇳🇫 is "part of #China 🇨🇳" (which it's most definitely not).

#crosssolent #travel or #commuting has 3 #ferry #companies & in recent years not one has provided a reliable #service. The #IsleofWight has no #guaranteed #lifeline to the #mainland. The #hovercraft used to be the most reliable for a time but even that has become less so. https://www.islandecho.co.uk/commuters-hit-by-suspension-of-hovertravel-service-owing-to-technical-issue/

#HongKong has been visited by 77% more #tourists this year compared to last year, but the businesses has lost 30% in revenue as the majority of the #mainland tourists has their own food with them and do not stay over the night and only go around and photo popular places.

@raymondpert The problem is that it's not two systems, it's just one and this has lead to corruption and spending of public resources on #mainland #tourists who don't spend more than 250HKD when they visit #hongKong and the number of #political #prisoners more or less just overshadowed by the mainland.
