I neglected to post this picture before, simply because it's nearly impossible to read what's on the placard behind Bob. I thought the vegetation was pretty cool though...this is right next to the stone and concrete revetment that is pictured in Bob's Saturday below. The placard basically explains that the revetments were used by the Japanese to shelter their aircraft during WWII. The crude revetments provided a bit of protection from aerial bombardment and naval gunfire. The concept being that it would take a direct hit to eliminate an aircraft, vice a nearby exploding shell.
As usual, you can click on the picture to view full size.
