The rods appear to move; there is a shimmering, a flashing, an eerie ballet of metal, whose apparent movements range from stillness to jittering, and back to a slow, indescribably sensuous...

New hotels, some with seaside restaurants, are rising where banana trees once flourished in the subtropical sun.
