Workers were seen giving the iconic town clock in the centre of Apia a new coat of paint a few days ago when the sun came out and stayed long enough to dry off the paintwork.
The long spell of wet days in the middle of the current cyclone season did not offer ideal conditions for the work needed on the clock tower.
Paint jobs on this standout landmark for Apia is common in recent times mainly for organised community service awareness messages.
Advocators regularly highlight their community promotions by painting up the clock in their colours to attract public attention to their cause.
The clock tower is right there for everyone visiting Apia to see whether local or from outside Samoa.
The clock tower is a memorial that is central to an annual service to remember the soldiers who died in the World Wars.
