27 Views of the Government Buidling
I love the government building. Something about its silouette is so striking that I can't help but take pictures of it.

It was built as a gift by the Chinese government a few years back and is far and away the most prominent landmark in Samoa. It's also where I work, so I come to it every day.

I can see it from where I live above the little airport. From there it looks like a castle out of a children's fantasy book. My camera just does't have the reach to take a decent picture of it from my house. But I'm getting a new digital camera in a few days with a massive 16x optical zoom (this is with the 2x teleconverter which makes it the equivalent of a 400mm lens on a 35mm camera).

Well, there are actually 35 images in the gallery, but who's quibbling? I wanted to pay homage to Hokusai.
