A small plane taxis at the airport. 
There are dairy cows and beef cattle here. Some are bigger than others. 
I often see sheep or cows on the road. These were trotting past the wind farm.

A pair of nenes walk along the road outside the airport fence. 
The newest addition to the landscape is this alien-looking sugar cane harvester.

Upolu is a good place to watch the sunset.

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Your Favorite Landscape.’ See more responses here.
When I think of the landscape at Upolu, it includes both the ocean that borders it and the skies above. They are, in my mind, integral to the place. But here, I’ve focussed on the land, a relatively small area of a few square miles where I walk most days. It’s rural, agricultural, and coastal. It’s historic and modern. It’s also a place I never return from feeling disappointed. There’s always something of note that I see or that happens when I’m there.

Beautiful photos. Do you say youpoloo, or upoloo, or what?

Upoloo is best but, to be honest, it’s a word I find I pronounce differently every time I say it. I’m NOT the person to ask about the pronunciation of Hawaiian words, that’s for sure!

I’m going to have to go there and listen to everyone before deciding on the average. If I get time away from sightseeing.

It looks a wonderfully relaxed place, Graham. Aside from the sugar cane monster 🙂 🙂 It’s been great to see a little of Hawaii! You never know- I might make it there one day.

It’s pretty relaxed but I’m itching to see the sugar cane monster in action. I’m hoping it will be loud and dramatic with bits of cane flying everywhere.

Sounds fun! 🙂 🙂

I’ve enjoyed your views of Upolu, Graham. It’s interesting to see the wind turbines on the horizons. Such a beautiful area for regular walking and a nice microcosm of life on the Big Island. When we were near there, I couldn’t believe I was seeing Maui!

On days when it’s really clear, it looks like I could swim across. I haven’t been tempted to test that theory though!
