More cloud and sky shots ...

I really like the way this one turned out.

A sky like that makes religion much more understandable.

I like clouds a lot.

What? I told you I like clouds a lot.

photos from Hagåtña

A pic of my work building. On the right side is the parking garage, the left is the 10-story building.

Palm tree and sky.

Some of the landscaping outside the Old Legislature Building.

A shot of Hagåtña from the road near the post office. Right is the cathedral-basilica.

Part of the cliffline near my apartment.

A "wild" flock of chickens. These gangs of poultry roam all over Guam, even in the most metropolitan and urban of areas.

Asan Bay Overlook ...

Don't forget to click on the pics to see a bigger, more detailed version ...

The sign at the entrance of the park ...

Swirls of white on a field of blue ...

The clear spot in the middle is the main War in the Pacific National Park ...

You can see parts of the village of Asan ...

The brilliance of the late afternoon sun ...

the sky's no limit ...

Yet another sunset in Guam ...

I see a diver hitting the water ... well, the splash of it happening. What do you see?

Fire from the sky ...

Fire from the sky — vertical.

Fire from the sky — horizontal.

More sunsets ...

Coconut tree silhouetted.

Flare of light from the sun.

More of the coconut tree-sky thing.

And one more.

Late afternoon, nearing twilight ....

Sea and sky just a few hundred yards from my apartment.

The colors begin to change.

And get deeper and darker

The federal courthouse from across Marine Corps Drive.

Chief Quipuha park in Hagåtña

Chief Quipuha, or Kepuha, was the first Chamorro chief to convert to Catholicism. His name means "striving to capsize." He gave the land upon which the Dulce Nobre de Maria Cathedral-Basilica still sits.

vines, far and near

climbing, fauna-choking vines (but still cool looking) near my apartment building

things are looking up ...

Just thought this was a cool view of the Bank of Guam building in Hagåtña ... shot out of my truck window. LOL

trees at night ...

Papaya tree near my apartment building.


Betel tree near my apartment building.

Adelup ....

Adelup is point in central Guam. A school was built there. It was later condemned, then turned into the headquarters for the governor's office. It sat unused for a long while after a fairly recent typhoon before finally being restored.


Statue of the late Gov. Ricardo J. Bordallo at Adelup's entrance.


A view north from the top of Adelup.


Pretty much the same view, over a little bit.

Somewhere beyond the ocean ...

A look at Oka Point in the distance.


Paseo ... from a distance.


More sea and sky.

Beach foliage ...

As always, click on the pic for a bigger, clearer image.

Sea, sky and tropical trees .. paradise, baby.

A very tall niyuk (coconut) tree against the afternoon sky.

Cool ground cover found at many of Guam's beaches.

Matapang Beach

As always, click on the pic for a bigger, clearer image.

This view from Matapang Beach shows Puntan Dos Amantes, or Two Lovers' Point, in the background.

Some tourists doing what I was doing — taking pics.

Better look at Two Lovers' Point, complete with picturesque coconut trees.

A look toward the point where the Hilton Guam Resort & Spa sits.
