A lone flower in a make-shift pot
This entire tree was full of flowers, and the ground was covered with blossoms
There is always something to remind you of the history of this island
and the casualties of war
The back of the Dynasty Hotel there are housing units for all of the workers, and two reminders of why Tinian is famous: fat man and little boy, copies of the first atomic bombs dropped during wartime.
Sometimes its hard to tell if it is a new ruin or an old one...
A forest of palms grows near the ruins of a home
Just another day on a quiet island in the Pacific
The Tinian ferry speeds away towards Saipan to pick up more tourists. This was a busy weekend, and the Dynasty was full!
Monday, and the bush-cutters are back, hard at work fighting against the inevitable creep of the jungle into our civilized lives. Without their constant effort, we would wake up engulfed by mother nature.
