Direction Island, Cocos (Keeling)
The World

This is Direction Island in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands (part of Australia). You are seeing the popular beach (the best available in the Cocos) which is near the anchorage used by sailing yachts who are in transit across the Indian Ocean. The shelter is used by sailors and other swimmers for meals cooked at a nearby fire pit. Water is captured on the roof of the shelter into a large cistern. You can see signs on pieces of driftwood (tacked on the trees) with boat names and the year they visited. A popular snorkeling site is just south of the island and is called "The Rip" - water rushing from the ocean into the lagoon attracts a large variety of fish and shark. Our boat "Tahina" is the catamaran easily visible - the closest to the camera.

More About The World

Welcome to Earth! It's a planet having an iron core, with two-thirds of its surface covered by water. Earth orbits a local star called the Sun, the light of which generates the food supply for all the millions of species of life on earth. The dominant species on Earth is the human being, and you're one of the six billion of them! Humans have iron in their blood, and their bodies are composed of two-thirds water, just like the planet they live on. The physical composition of the Earth, its people and everything on it contains an electro-magnetic field which is not yet fully understood. Theories and legends about the origin of Earth, people and life itself abound, however they are not commonly discussed. The bulk of earth's people spend their time immersed in daily activities, leaving the big questions for later. "Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? How will we get there?" Many religions and philosophies have attempted to answer these questions over the years, but so far none has given an answer that everyone on the planet can accept. In contrast to all the disagreement, the similarities among people on earth are far, far greater than any differences. Welcome again to Earth! Enjoy your stay, and try to stay calm.
