Nauru Seascapes
“A Pacific Scene”
The road that goes around the island-nation of Nauru is less than 20 kilometers long so it’s quite easy to regularly drive around the country and search for photo ops. There isn’t much to see inland or the ‘topside’ except for the phosphate mines, the Buada Lagoon, and a few wartime remnants so there’s always a better chance of catching a good photo along the shoreline. Here are some of the images I caught on Nauru’s shores.
“Alone”
“Homeward Bound”
“Over of the Rainbow”
“End of Day”
The image of the bird (“Alone”) has a long and exciting story behind it which I’ve been really itching to post but thought that it would be best to save it for last to close this series — a chapter on Nauru. Stay tuned!

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!
I love that house/building in the first photo….don’t ask me why, It just speaks to me. All the photos are great.
Love it too, Angeline. It’s really picturesque. I don’t mind staying for a few days in that cabin.
Thanks for visiting.
I’ll have to keep checking for that bird story. Would like to hear more about Nauru and really love that first photo too.
Thanks, Shiela. It’s quite ready but I have a few more sets to post. Grateful for the visit.
True nature is inescapable, you make it so pleasing and plain to see.

Terrific shots! Looking forward to read the story behind the picture of the bird.
Thank you very much, Nikhil. Will make sure you’ll enjoy it, I promise.
Beautiful way it was
Thanks….
I love the rainbow shot. It almost looks like someone is holding an umbrella just as the rainbow comes down on it. I know that’s not what it is, but that was my initial reaction. Beautiful.
Didn’t notice that until you said it. Thanks for the visit, Dezra.
Great photos – so atmospheric. Certainly warmed me up here in wintery uk.
Thanks, greenbenchramblings. Love your garden photos but I guess the flowers are not so colorful nowadays, huh? Grateful for the visit.
Amazing shots…my favourites are “a pacific scene” and “end of day”. keep it up!!
Thanks, Mina.
