I found this an interesting outcropping while visiting my daughter in Guam. What do you think?

That's a real interesting shot. Is this a common growth in Guam?

Great shot - looks like the seas have been nibbling away the rest of the soil. I guess if you go back in a few years it will all have been eroded.

Guam is only 33 miles long and about 8 miles wide. It was occupied by Japan during World War II before being liberated by the US in 1944. There are several of these small patches of land, but this was the only one I saw with such shear sides and a tree growing on it. There was an old Japanese pill box at this site and some caves also. Guam is an interesting place to visit if you are a history buff.
