Faces of Nauru
While on the topic, I thought that it would be nice to post more images taken in Nauru before posting my next article/photo essay about the country. Some of the images below were previously posted here or in my other sites (one has been used by a magazine), but it’s the first time they will be posted together as a follow-up to my previous post, Nauru: The World’s Smallest Island-Nation. Have fun!
“Nauruan Girls and Coca-cola”: My favorite, this photo was taken during a 7-km fun run sponsored by, well, Coca-cola. These pretty girls were just so friendly I thought I’ve met them before somewhere in the island.
“Hungry by my Balcony”: I was having breakfast alone in my hotel balcony enjoying the morning view of the Pacific when this boy startled me. Took this photo before I shared my sandwich and juice with him. 
“Waiting”: A bus services the road that goes around the island. This lady waits for the bus by a vine-covered ruin.
“A Pool for a Change”: An aging desalination plant provides water to the island’s households and to fill this seldom-used hotel pool. These boys, who I often see swimming at the beach, immediately took advantage of the opportunity when the pool was being filled for a special occasion.

The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!
Always neat to see the faces of a nation!
Thanks, Angeline.
I have to look it up on the map! Need to brush up on my geography.
It will be difficult to find. It’s a tiny dot of an island near the equator between Marshall Islands and Tuvalu. Thanks for dropping by, Rutheh.
