Variegated Greenery. Epipremnum aureum, Giant Pothos Vine, and Oriental Garden Lizard, Calotes versicolor, Central Park, Hulhumalé, Maldives

The town built on the artificial island of Hulhumalé - from 2004 onwards and growing fast - has a pleasant spot of Greenery, the Central Park.

Here's a fine Giant Pothos Vine, Epipremnum aureum. It's a sanctuary for a variety of wildlife. In the inset I've put a shot of an Oriental Garden Lizard, Calotes versicolor. I wonder if it considers that vine its home. Yesterday I'd already noticed it lurking around, and today I watched as Lizard made its way across the lawn to the foot of the Vine. Quickly it scampered up but ReX of Sony caught it just in time, and Olymp allowed me to inset it here.
