overlooking Hagåtña ...

All of these were taken from Fort Santa Agueda ...

The stick-like things in the middle are lights from Paseo Stadium ...
You can see Two Lovers Point WAY in the back there ...

The heart of Hagåtña ... the cathedral-basilica is in the center ...

The day these were taken was amazing ... crystal clear and hot ...

this shows some of the water of Hagåtña ... on the right of the split is
the boat basin ... the jut to the left is a sewage treatment plant,
believe it or not ... perfect placement for it, don't you agree?

another angle of our capital city ... building in forefront is the AG's offices

i wish i were sailing ...

the late afternoon sun seeks the horizon
over a parked passel of boats in the harbor

don't know what I did here ...

but it's spooooooooooooooooooky ... heh

sunset aswirl ...

cotton candy colored clouds co-mingle and collide

Fort Santa Agueda

This fort dates back from Spanish times. It sits atop Agana Heights.
This gives it a great view over Hagåtña and the bay.

Three of the type of cannons Spain used at the fort.

asan afternoon ...

not quite sunset ... but getting close ...

Asan Bay, as seen from the Asan Bay Overlook ... clever, no? LOL

A jungle-y hillside in Nimitz Hill ...

foreboding clouds ...

pinkly purples ...

floral colorings ...

upon the roadside ...

the workplace ...

The Pacific News Building, shot from the Academy side.
We're on most of the first and second floors.

just a typical Guam day ...

Shot this one during lunch. While stopped at a traffic light.
Yep ... it's pretty much ALWAYS this gorgeous, my darlings!

a bridge over no water ...

The Sagan I Tolai Acho, or San Antonio Bridge located in Hagåtña.
It once spanned the Hagåtña River, but
the waterway was redirected following World War II.
Now, it's a small, quaint park in the island's capital.

alabaster blossoms ...

cluster of white flowers across the street from my apartment ...

latte stone park ...

Guam's most famous set of latte stones
in what's now the Angel Santos Memorial Park
smack dab in the middle of Hagåtña

Hagåtña afternoon ...

The Dolce Nombre de Maria Cathedral-Basilica ...

shot from the east side of Skinner Plaza ...

suprising bits of jungle ...

the fun thing about Guam is you can be driving
in a residential or urban area and, suddenly,
hit a patch of jungle out of the blue ... or green.

these pics were taken along my drive from
the office to home. on one side of this patch
is apartments, the other side offices.
Right across the street is a bank.

white flowers ...

white flowers near a restaurant I frequent ...

on the road ...

Marine Corps Drive, heading toward ITC intersection ...

in the backyard ...

the bouganvillea you can see
by peeking out my kitchen window
