Atomic Bomb Dome

Atomic Bomb (Genbaku) Dome

I have never felt so sad in making a website before, somehow I have to make the story correctly, last night I was dreaming to include the picture of the survival, which I omitted yesterday when choosing the images. This is 1945 technology, can you imagine nowadays? I hope my website do the justice in telling the story.

Iwakuni - Kintaikyo

Kintaikyo from the east side of the river

It is a challenging task to take photographs in the rain, Pokie has to hold the big umbrella while I compose and snap a few pictures, at time I can manage it by myself. It is raining the whole time when we were there, we found Kikko Park by accident.

Miyajima, Itsukushima Shrine

Itsukushima's torii gate appears floating on a high tide.

The day started just cloudy, we are very lucky to be there very early before any tourists are destroying the view. it later rains and its so humid, I will not go to Japan during the beginning of summer months as it is the rainy season, it makes the travelling twice as tiring compared when it is cool weather.

Vancouver Waterfront, Washington, USA

Grant Street Pier

When I heard today is going to be so warm, I made a plan last night to visit Vancouver Waterfront, it is only 20 miles, so we go after the morning rush hour and go home before everybody uses the freeway in the afternoon. We had lunch at WildFin restaurant and it was good.

iPhone images

Old and New

I will add as I take pictures with my iPhone, I just like the images that it can capture because "the camera" is always in my pocket.

Azalea

Red Carpet

We miss to see this for many years now, finally we came this afternoon at the right time, no rain is a bonus, but when the sun is out, it creates too many unwanted shadow. Enjoy the "red carpet" in the spring. Happy Easter 2019.

Fort Vancouver - by iPhone 6S

Fort Vancouver 

I am making a comparison between my Sony mirrorless and my iPhone 6S, my conclusion is iPhone images are more vivid, just do not use the digital zoom.
