I’d just like to add that the girls from around the #SouthPacific singing was also poignant. Their forebears were the great polynesian navigators who explored the vastness of the Pacific Ocean using the stars. I’ve always loved that connection - the stars as guiding lights here on #Earth

A deep blue sky with streaky white clouds. A pale sand beach on an aqua and blue ocean. A cluster of tall palm trees lean out over the beach from a little knoll covered with leafy shrubs. The beach winds around a bay to a small peninsula with another cluster of shrubs and palm trees. A small, very low wooded islet not far offshore lies beyond.

Secluded white sand tropical beach, Aitutaki, Cook Islands, South Pacific. May 1990.
