KUKED JA KANAD OOKEANIRANNAL. Parkimisplatsidel. Hotelliesistel. Hotellibassenide ümber. Restoranides ja kohvikutes. Iga põõsa ja palmipuu all. Tibukarjaga ja ilma.

Kaks esimest fotot võetud rannas. Linnukesed ronivad päevitajatele lausa sülle, kui eemale ei peleta. Kolm ülejäänud pilti tehtud parkimisplatsil, paduvihmaga. Vanarahva ütlus nagu uppunud kukk on ikka väga tabav, peab ütlema.
