Port Moresby before Summer

Port Moresby has an unusually stable climate. It's always warm and rarely wet. During the rainy season, it can get a bit brown and the dust will start flying around. During the wet season, the city becomes a brilliant green as plants are everywhere throughout the whole city which is one of the things I love about Port Moresby.

During summer, the city becomes exceptionally colourful. This happens from around mid to late October to early December. Flowers start blooming everywhere to mark what would probably be the city's Spring season. Fire trees become bright red-orange and there are these trees that just turn wholly yellow. Bees start buzzing everywhere as they hurriedly gather the sweet nectar from the various flowers which they turn into honey.

Here are some photos for you to appreciate.




If Port Moresby had done a master plan before and planted these trees all over the city, these trees could have been turned into an attraction just like the Cherry Blossoms of Japan. If you live in Port Moresby, now is the best time to take your camera out and start photographing the city!

Ciao.
