Attempted Van Gogh in Maputo

I created this "Van Gogh" from a sunrise over the sea at Maputo. I have itchy fingers. It's difficult to leave things in their natural state. I can't even follow a simple recipe without tampering with it.

Maputo is the capital of Mozambique. The sea is stunning, the sunrises are wonderful but unfortunately the beach is dirty.

We had a magnificent view from our balcony in the Holiday Inn. The hotel is exquisite and looks a bit out of place between the war ruined buildings surrounding it.

Maputo in itself is not really a tourist city but they are trying to improve tourism by building new hotels and keep the old colonial ones like the Polana in good shape.
