Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking from the slopes of Oke-Are Hill across the stone tower and rolling rooftops toward the city center, showing mango tree branches and tropical foliage in the foreground, the stone tower and undulating hill settlements in the middle-ground, and the distant modernist silhouette of Cocoa House and soft hills fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick tropical rainforest canopies on the hill slopes, Agodi Gardens, and mango trees.
