Nauru: Boat Scenes
Life on the island-nation of Nauru revolves around phosphate: mining at the center of the island and loading on its shore. Because of the absence of a commercial wharf, the cantilever, a major landmark on the island, is the star when it comes to latter.
Link: The cantilever connects the phosphate mines to its market
Decay: An aging pilot boat awaits for a much-needed replacement
Retirable: A decades-old Loader Barge had seen better days but continue to serve the island
Portless: A ship’s crew boards through a hanging ladder

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 really love this unique angle on a tropical island destination. Great photos, too!
