Dili, Timor

This is a Timorese boat that comes out to visit USNS Mercy each evening. That's Atauro island, part of Timor-Leste, at sunset in the background.


Sideflare 64 lifts off from USNS Mercy with Sideflare 74, Mercy's other helicopter, seen in the background.


The sun sets, 17 July 2008, over Indonesia, west of Timor-Leste; LT Seaman took this photo of me and the sunset.


A Band Aid Boat returns to USNS Mercy from the pier at Dili. The large white building to the left is the "Palacio Do Governo". The air was clear enough today that I was able to read the name with my binoculars.


Me on USNS Mercy, with part of Dili in the background.


This is the Kristu Rei (Christ the King) statue on a point of land just to the east of Dili, Timor-Leste. (It's about a mile or two away from us in this photo, so it is a large statue.)
