Groupe Acteon FP
The following is from Wikipedia,
Groupe Acteon consists of four low-lying atolls. They are a part of French Polynesia.
Matureivavo (21˚29'S., 136˚24'W.), the largest atoll within the Acteon Group. It is about 4 miles long in a NNW-SSE direction and is high enough to be visible from a considerable distance, and gives the appearance of a sandy beach, backed by a line of dark green. Some buildings lie on the NW side of the atoll. In bad weather, the seas sometimes sweep over the reef. There is no entrance to the lagoon.
Tenarunga (Tenaruga), 15 km NNW of Matureivavo, is a low, wooded and uninhabited atoll in the Actaeon group in the southeastern part Tuamotu Islands. Tenarunga, like the rest of the Actaeon group, belongs to the municipality of the Gambier Islands. The lagoon is not accessible from the sea.
Vahanga (21˚19'S., 136˚39'W.) a small atoll 5 miles W of Tenaruga, is covered with coconut trees. There is a landing place on the NW side of the atoll, near a white house, but there is no access to the lagoon.
Tenararo (21˚18'S., 136˚44'W.) the smallest of the group, has a landing place on the NW side of the atoll between the small boulders, which encumber the reef. There is no entrance to the lagoon.

This was a project that I completed many months ago, but decided to revisit using my new format. The difficult part was to gather all of the screen shots together, edit them, Flickr them into a set and finally to fashion this post. It took the better part of the morning. Enjoy!
P.S. - This post was done using Widows Live Writer Beta. It was easy to use and offered a great deal of control over the final output.
Enjoy!
