Garden of Eden - December 17-04

I laugh when I hear or read about tropical paradises, like on my ysterday's picture.
This is one of those paperazzi views of the tropics where one guy comes and gets an island in Polynesia for 1 dollar, cleans it, puts nice big houses and a golf place there, builds a yachting harbour and the year after, people like Mick Jagger, Elton John, Tiger Woods and some others take foot there. Paradise is everywhere on earth, far away from concrete deserts, Fast Food and stinking cars. No need to dive with a golden Rolex or drive a Ferrari in Italy to live in Paradise.
Tropical Paradise is seen here on this picture. No cars, some simple people making Rotan Furnishings and one generator for electricity for the 20 families living here.
This picture is taken on Eling Island, a paradise for poor people and a place where no paparazzi will ever bother you, except if your name is Bill Gates or something similar.
