They are called 1 ton bomb. I think it means 2000 lb.
I am grateful for a good opportunity, Eric.

Excellent photo Shinpachi, thank you for sharing sir!

 

[Shinpachi]

You are welcome, Aaron!

Older Osaka people received tens of thousand small and large bombs from the B-29s during the war.
They didn't necessarily blame the US as it was war but they needed a small memorial place for the victims.
Frankly I did not know what this place is well till I visited a few days ago because I was not born in Osaka.
This is a war museum to my eyes though it has no name of war but peace officially.

Sorry, Eric and guys, I have talked too much here.
Let me launch a thread for it in the future.
Thank you very much.

Some fine shots Eric, especially what you did for your father.

Thanks Wayne. It's okay Shinpachi-san, there was a lot of misunderstanding between our cultures in those days that were made worse by war. It is good to learn more about other cultures and people. It helps to break down stereotypes and ignorance.

Great shots once more Eric, I wish I could have seen it in Palm Springs when it was there. Nice shot Shinpachi, those are huge.

 

[Shinpachi]

I can find not only excellent works but so thoughtful comments here.
They are gems.

Thank you very much.

Finally! I got to shoot an airshow with the new Nikon over the weekend. The Riverside Airshow was a little leaner than previous years with all the sequestration and all, but they made the best of it. Jacob and I spent the day on the tarmac shooting airplanes. There is a full set of galleries at the link below:

Samples? Sure thing.

And one for you, Terry.

One from Jacob, who is developing quite an eye.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Excellent shots, the both of you!!! The detail and the color are a lot sharper Eric, the new camera is great.

 

[Gnomey]

Great shots Eric!

 

[evangilder]

Cheers fellas. It was good to be back on the show line.

 

[rochie]

great shots Eric, and that is some colour scheme on that Wildcat !

 

[evangilder]

It certainly is a unique Martlett paint scheme. I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me.

 

[ontos]

Great shots Eric, your new camera and the 500 are a perfect match, Jacob seems to be walking in your footsteps.

One of the finest animal training programs in the country is right here in my city. Called "America's Teaching Zoo", Moorpark College's Exotic Animal Training and Management program teaches many aspects of animal training and behavior. They have a zoo on campus with reptiles, amphibians, felines, canines and primates. I was impressed! I was a chaperone for my daughter's second grade class on a field trip to the zoo for a tour and animal show.

 

[Crimea_River]

Great pics Eric.

 

[evangilder]

Cheers. My wife is attending school there as well, but not in the animal program. The campus is beautiful.

 

[Shinpachi]

What an amazing experience you had with your family there!
I also often visit a small zoo of my town to feel another world of another intelligence.
Thanks for sharing, Eric
