1987

First sunset in Tahiti

This is exactly the color in my print picture, but I wasn’t sure how accurate it was after all these years, so I searched for Tahiti sunsets online, and although they vary, a lot of them are in these colors, so that’s what I went with.

*****
In 1987 we stopped in Tahiti on our way home after our two-year posting to Canberra. Needless to say, it was quite a change from Australia and a pleasant interlude before facing life in Washington, DC.

That's exactly how many of the sunsets were when we visited!!! Some were this color. Some were slightly different. All breath taking. Although I know much has changed (much not for the positive) about Tahiti in modern times, I'm sure today's visitors will also experience the same gorgeous sunsets. Beautiful photo from an idyllic land.
