The Galapagos Islands are certainly interesting.

     In 1835 Charles Darwin found the Galapagos Islands quite interesting.  Of course, that led to his conception of the theory of natural selection and evolution.  I, too, found it interesting, both the flora and the fauna.
     Given that the islands are volcanic and on the equator, plants face adversity in growing there.  So, one can find some tough cacti there, shown in the first three photos.
     The next photo shows perhaps the prettiest cemetery I have ever seen, followed by an acacia tree (unknown species).
     The remaining photos are of lichens, ferns, mosses, and bromeliads, a bit surprising given the volcanic conditions.
