Corregidor in Pictures, Part 7

When the tour guide said that after the war, Corregidor was, like, so war-torn that hardly anything grew there, and then the government had to seed ipil-ipil to re-forest the whole island; but now, more than fifty years later, it is teeming with greenery, it's either that's so unbelievably amazing but true or the tour-guide was making stuff up as we all go along. The power of suggestion: tourists unconsciously are "told" to return.
A nice image of a dock with a small boat tied to it.
And another dock we didn't get to visit. How were the other tourists able to get there? And there's even a party tent!?!
Flags. Of nations who contributed to the restoration of the island and of the hotel?
This hill is alive with the sound of silence...
When the color turns to a darker shade of blue, it means the water is deeper, cleaner, and therefore no longer part of the Philippines.
At the Japanese cemetery. A statue looking into a pond. And the open sea behind it. That's deep!
A lonely tree at the side of the road. How old could it be? Did it see the carnage that was World War 2?
And that concludes our picturesque journey to Corregidor. You might want to go yourself. Bring a camera.
