A white Spanish style structure sits at the highest point of the Adelup Point government complex. Its vantage point could not be more beautiful or more strategic offering an expansive view of Asan Point to the west and Hagatha Bay to the east and facing the Philippine sea.  The location was in fact used as a look out by the Japanese and the Americans. It was built upon the foundation of the original Atkins-Kroll house destroyed in 1944 during the Liberation of Guam. Of the original building, the foundation itself and the long flight of concrete steps leading to the bottom of the prominence remain. Ultimately, the site was rebuilt in order to house the Guam Museum. Canons displayed in the foreground are reconstructed artifacts representing Guam’s Spanish period.

Janthina Photo Images > From Wikipedia:

"Phalaenopsis (Blume 1825) is a genus of about 60 species of orchids (family Orchidaceae). The generic name means "Phalaen[a]-like" and is probably a reference to the genus Phalaena, the name given by Carolus Linnaeus to a group of large moths; the flowers of some species supposedly resemble moths in flight. For this reason, the species are sometimes called Moth orchids."
