Where we live

Our home away from home is on top of a 1000 foot cliff (which can not be seen easily in google maps)
Its the long white building on the left, in the group of four in the middle of the screen.

Its only small, but its fine, as most days we are out and about doing island things.

The long white diagonal line to the left, is the conveyor system which takes the crushed phosphate limestone down to the bulk storage on the lower part of the island, it drops over 1100 feet from the top of the island to the bottom, its going down at a 45% angle the whole way, a quite amazing bit of engineering.
