The whole point of their existence is to add a little life & movement, and that's typically lost once they're captured in a static photograph. Aren't the murals at South Pacific lovely? TIKIPAKA added a bunch of pictures yesterday from Luau Hale in Lenox, Mass. I hadn't seen the Luau Hale murals before, and they are gorgeous. Many are moonlit nighttime scenes, and there's a great trompe l'oeil tiki mask... they're just unusually beautiful. (Mahalo, TIKIPAKA!) And now today's new image gallery: Renderings Idealized versions of an already idealized version of the South Pacific: these artists' conceptions of restaurants, hotels and attractions exemplify Polynesian Pop. This image gallery is my absolute favorite of them all. Also, I've made a small improvement to the image galleries on Critiki: you can now use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move through the images. It's a bit faster and more comfortable than using your mouse.
