A so simple Christmas tree ..., a photo from Boa Vista, Barlavento

Photographer's Note

When the means are lacking, you have to make do with recovered products ... this is the way in some countries! Souvenir of a Christmas tree seen in Cape Verde on the island of Boa Vista. An original, simple and well-made Christmas tree: a post and plastic bottles as garlands ... This shows us the reality in certain regions where we do not see, as in our countries, such a profusion of garlands, of lights and glitter for the end-of-year holiday decorations� a sobriety that calls out.

Hello Jean,
I like this Christmas tree very much. It was created from the lack of resources. but in a richer country an artist could have made the same kind of tree and had it exposed in a gallery.
Regards,
Gert

Bonjour Jean,

Une id閑 originale pour cr閑r un arbre de No雔. La prise de vue permet de voir les d閠ails de l'immeuble et de l'arbre de No雔. Il y a un bon contraste entre les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journ閑.

Bonjour Jean,
Great capture of this extraordinary Christmas tree.
I have never seen one like this before. It is very environmentally friendly. I wouldn't mind spending Christmas on Cape Verde but the restriction are sadly coming back,
Very well seen and captured,
M

Bonjour Jean, an ingenious way of using plastic bottles, and using a telegraph pole as its base.
A simple tree but very effective.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Jean,
This holiday scene is just as lovely as more spectacular displays in wealthier locations. I like the bright colors of the building that's a backdrop to this unique tree. That pot on the roof is also an interesting detail. Take care!

Salut Jean,J'閠ais � Boavista il y a 21 ans et il n'y avait pas de sapin de No雔, mais le village 閠ait aussi tr鑣 petit. Maintenant il y a s鹯ement eu une invasion concr鑤e mais la situation de la population ne semble pas s'阾re beaucoup am閘ior閑, et cet arbre de No雔 le prouve. Cependant un travail original et 閏ologique, j'avais pens� qu'il 閠ait construit avec du salami avant de lire les notes.. ehehhe... Belle soiree' et merci,Luciano

Hi Jean
A simple 'festive tree' and a simple shot combined but there's still some nice elements to make a decent composition.
Best regards

Hi Jean

cheers

Bonjour Jean,
Tr鑣 original et une excellente id閑 pour avoir un sapin de No雔 pas cher.
Le r関erb鑢e en bois constituait d閖� une bonne base.
Les tons chauds de la fa鏰de et du toit derri鑢e l'arbre forment un beau fond.
Amiti閟, Paul

Hi Jean,
It is the strangest Christmas tree I have seen. Empty plastic bottles is indeed a resource there's no shortage of. But that has required quite some effort, so I appreciate it. Interesting view from this desert island.

Hello Jean, Not an especially beautiful construction from the used plastic bottles but it proves that one can make something interesting from nothing. Nice colours.

Bonjour Jean
Toutes ces bouteilles vid閑s sont en relation directe avec le d閏or d閟ertique, habitat de perp閠uels assoiff閟.
Une le鏾n d'ing閚iosit� � l'閏helon local qui pourrait nous dissuader de l'exag閞ation ornementale saisonni鑢e.
Joyeuses F阾es!

I presume the visual effect is better at night. I liked a lot the ceramic pot in the top of the building.

take care
