It is the primary center of Tahitian and French Polynesian public and private governmental, commercial, industrial and financial services, the hub of French Polynesian tourism and a commonly used Port of call.

Bonjour Leonor,
c'est le jour des couchers de soleil, voici le 3e que je critique d'affilée. Quelle merveilleux panache de couleurs, des chaudes aux froides.
Une photo qui dégage une ambiance très paisible.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Eu estive lá mas não vi nenhum pôr-do-sol assim tão bonito. O que tive foi um excelente jantar lá em baixo, junto ao cais.
Gosto muito das cores obtidas nas nuvens e na água.

Olá Leonor,
me alegra mucho volver a verte aquí.
Y esta impresionante puesta de sol en el paraíso tahitiano corta la respiración por su inmensa belleza y su gran nivel estético.
Los tonos en el cielo y sus reflejos sobre el agua plateada crean una atmósfera muy especial, atractiva y relajante.
La realización es excelente, la imagen tiene una gran calidad.
Un abrazo,

Fantastic colour in the sky,with reflection on the calm water.
Fire in the sky.

Oi, Leonor
Ao ver a miniatura da foto, passou-me a impressão de alguma explosão vulcânica ou que as nuvens de uma hora para outra começassem a explodir em fogo. Esplendidas cores e contrastes; as silhuetas enriqueceram e destacaram o plano de fundo flamejante. Bela mostra. Abraço, Consuelo

Olá Leonor,
Que visão para se ter de um quarto de hotel!!!
Ouve-se falar muito em "céu de fogo", mas é raro que isso seja tão apropriado como aqui. Simplesmente fantástico! A compo também é estupenda.
Um abraço,

Des couleurs chaudes et froides savamment mélangées, un beau coucher de soleil comme j'ai pu en voir en effet en Polynésie il y a quelques années.

A spectacular view from your hotel balcony and such brilliant colours in this sunset. There are very few photos of Papeete on TE and it is always great to see a different location. Tfs, Marlene

Hola Leonor.
Que belleza de puesta de sol, parece que el fuego esta en el cielo y que lo ha transmitido al agua tales son los fantasticos reflejos, la imagen es rica en detalles con los contraluces del puerto. Un buen trabajo.
Un abrazo y que disfrutes del fin de semana.
Luis.
