Le cocotier évoque généralement des images de plages exotiques et de paisibles vacances tropicales. Mais la réalité peut-être être bien plus sombre, comme sur cette île de l'archipel de Tuvalu.
Coconut blues, une chanson triste pour réconforter ceux qui, cet hiver, n'ont pas voyagé vers des pays
plus chauds...
A coconut palm gracefully bent over the turquoise waters of a tropical lagoon, what a standardized dream!
But the fight between the palm and the so-called "Pacific" Ocean often becomes ruthless. The uprooted coconut palms, pioneers in the fight against marine erosion, resemble dying soldiers massacred on a forgotten battlefield.
Coconut fruits, when they are young, show rather cheerful colors, ranges in color pale yellow, orange red, green or brown.
But in this forgotten rainforest of Fiji Islands coconuts gnawed by time and covered by mosses exhibit a much more disturbing aspect.
A strange mix of coconut palms and skulls was found in this remote area of Tuvalu Archipelago. It seems that the skulls are fruits fallen from the palms.Nobody wanted to tell us what happened here.
Here comes the end of our Coconut blues, a sad song for those who will not travel to warmer countries.
Thus, if it exists now a Coconut blues, we never met a blue coconut palm.
This one is just an electric dream, don't worry about it.
