I have been asked why I never seem to take photos at sunrise. I am not sure what other people are doing at 4:30 in the morning, but I am not taking photographs!
The Golden Cane Palm is a native to Madagascar, and there's enough of it round here to make any Madagascan feel quite at home. It's almost as ubiquitous as the rubber thong.
There is just one question to be asked: Is this a "nice" dune pea, or a "nasty" one, and invader from across the seas intent on the destruction of all that lies beneath it, or a native happily preserving the status of the dunes for future generations?
