A fishing net buoy hangs from a dead tree to be used as a swing outside Yuzhno-Kurilsk, the main settlement on the Southern Kurile Island of Kunashir September 16, 2015. Russian residents of the island chain at the centre of a dispute between Japan and Russia that has held up a treaty to formally end World War Two hope a diplomatic solution will lure tourists and investment to help refurbish rickety infrastructure. The Southern Kuriles are referred to in Japan as the Northern Territories. Picture taken September 16, 2015. REUTERS/Thomas Peter
