[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Pathway Hotel is build in in the micronesian architecture of a men's house. We stay here for 4 night near the centre of Colonia, the capital town of Yap. It was a great impression to here every night only the noises of the nature, sometimes interrupted by the rain showers on the roof, you hear no cars, no planes, no disco, or any other noise from human beings, ... pure nature.

Some years ago only for men the access to a Men's House was allowed (remark: there are also women's houses, access for everybody)

I was happy that they changed this tradition today :-)

Achim,
Very interesting place here. The architecture design is really uncommon. Excellent composition.

Olá Achim, fascinating place, indeed. Lost in the middle of the jungle, far away from the civilized world, for 4 nights. Perfect experience to restart your brain. Excellent framing here, with the long palmtree leaves on the sides.
Best wishes,
ricardo

- What quiet and peaceful place of dream, TFS Achim and cheers for this nice composition!
Greetings.

Hallo Achim,
ich wusste gar nicht dass die Hauptstadt von Yap,Köln heißt :-)
Sehr interessantes Architektur für ein Hotel,
schöne Farben der Natur!

Dimitris.

Achim, ce doit-être une expérience inoubliable que de passer quelques nuits au coeur de la nature dans de telles constructions. La végétation est luxuriante et ta photo rend bien l'aspect insolite de cet hôtel.

Hallo Achim
This reminds me of those tree-houses built by kids!
Such a fine depiction of an exotic shelter surrounded by greenery of deep forest.
Overcast suggest a vegetal canopy!
Exotism at its best!

Hi Achim!
I´d like of the roustic architeture! The nature are great in this local! Good Job!
Congratulations and Hug!

Hallo Achim,
hast Du Deinem bisher einsamen Bild von Mikronesien ein zweites dazu gegeben. In diesem Dschungel ein Haus zu finden, erstaunt schon, Deine Beschreibung passt sehr dazu. Guter Blick von unten, wobei ich mal vermute, dass es durch den Dschungel gar nicht viele Möglichkeiten der Aufnahme gibt. Erinnert an Tarzans Behausung ;-)
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Achim,

Hello Achim
The traditional micronesian house has been very well depicted. Well framed with the palm leaves. Must have been a great experience staying in the middle of a lush green forest. Good work!

Hi Achim!
This is a dream house! I would love to spend a holiday in a place like this!
The compo of your photo is beautiful with the house made of vegetable material, surrounded by palms and other plants of the jungle!
I just hope the moskitoes, spiders and such like didn't get at you too much!
TFS.
Marie Louise.

Hey Achim,

Hope you don`t mind me commenting on older photos - I always try to select the most exotic from your gallery, and there is no shortage of that.

What can I say - amazing. Architecture, but mostly the nature surrounding it. Out of this world. Great stuff. :)

Best regards
