There is nothing beautiful about war, not even when it happens in an exotic place like Hawaii. Nonotheless, wars have been all over human history. Some of the most important facts of our history were related to combats and their outcomes. And on this very day and this very place, 76 years ago a key combat took place: the battle of Pearl Harbor. The attack was a surprise military strike by the Japanese armed forces to a US naval base located in the island of Oahu in Hawaii. It was the critical event that led USA to enter World War II. Who won and who lost may be very important historically, however at the end of the day humanity lost as thousands of people died on that beautiful island. Lets hope that as human beings we learned from our mistakes in the past and that present and future generations wont have to live the horror of another world war. What you see in this photo is the Submarine Bowfin that was used in various operations during World War II by US Navy. It was built in Portsmouth Navy Yard in 1942 and decommissioned on 1947 after 9 successful patrols. At the background you can see Ford island where the main airstrip that was under attack was located. Most of the US combat ships that were torpedoed and sinked were anchored in the main water area of this frame. Among them was USS Arizona, a ship that visitors can see from above during the tour.
Δεν υπάρχει τιποτα ομορφο σε εναν πολεμο, ακομη και αν συμβαινει σε ενα εξωτικο μερος οπως η Hawaii. Παρολαυτα, η ανθρωπινη ιστορια ειναι διασπαρτη απο πολεμους. Μερικα απο τα σημαντικοτερα γεγονοτα της ιστοριας μας ειναι συνδεδεμενα με μαχες και τα αποτελεσματα τους. Και σαν σημερα πριν απο 76 χρονια, σε αυτο το μερος μια πολυ σημαντικη μαχη ελαβε χωρα: η μαχη του Pearl Harbor. Η επιθεση ηταν μια αιφνιδια στρατιωτικη επιχειρηση των Ιαπωνικων ενοπλων δυναμεων εναντια σε μια ναυτικη βάση των ΗΠΑ στο νησι Oahu της Hawaii. Αποτελεσε το κρισιμο γεγονος που ωθησε τις ΗΠΑ να συμμετάσχουν στον δευτερο παγκοσμιο πολεμο. Το ποιος κερδισε και ποιος εχασε στη μαχη μπορει ιστορικα να ειναι πολυ σημαντικο γεγονος, το αποτελεσμα ειναι ομως οτι η ανθρωποτητα βγηκε λαβωμενη καθως χιλιαδες ανθρωποι αφησαν την τελευταια τους πνοη σε αυτο το ομορφο νησι. Ας ελπισουμε οτι ως ανθρωπινα οντα διδαχτηκαμε απο τα λαθη του παρελθοντος και οτι η τωρινη και οι μελλοντικες γενιες δε θα ζησουν τη φρικη ενος ακομη παγκοσμιου πολεμου. Σε αυτη τη φωτογραφια βλεπετε το υποβρυχιο Bowfin το οποιο χρησιμοποιηθηκε σε πολλες επιχειρησεις κατα τη διαρκεια του πολεμου. Το υποβρυχιο κατασκευαστηκε στο Ναυπηγειο του Portsmouth το 1942 και παροπληστηκε το 1947 επειτα απο 9 επιτυχεις περιοδιες. Στο βαθος της φωτο φαινεται το νησι Ford πανω στο οποιο βρισκοταν ο αεροδιαδρομος που απετελεσε βασικο στοχο κατα την επιθεση. Στη θαλασσια εκταση που φαινεται στο καδρο βρισκονταν τα περισσοτερα απο τα πολεμικα πλοια των ΗΠΑ τα οποια βομβαρδιστηκαν μεχρι να βυθιστουν. Αναμεσα τους και το USS Arizona, το οποιο μπορει καποιος να επισκεφτει μεσω θαλάσσης ακολουθωντας το guided tour.
When I came home,after having enjoyed one of the most beautiful mornings this year, and went to the kitchen to make me a nice cup of coffee I saw this green visitor in the back of my garden. Turns out he had two friends with him. Young ones I think

These showy irises growing in my garden, did really well this Spring, that is, until all the non-stop rain!!!
I remember a few years back when I had seen a bunch of photos of these beautiful spiders, but never an actual one. I thought they must be some exotic species from another country. Then I read that they were around, but found that hard to believe. After all, I've been poking around in nature taking pictures of all kinds of arthropods for YEARS, but had never come across one.
And then they started showing up right in my own yard. One, then another, and then more. Now I find them at every size - tiny to adult - and almost all through the year. Occasionally one will turn up inside the house.
Yet I still find them special. So bright and sleek! This lovely lady volunteered herself for a photoshoot, appearing right on my door. I obliged, and now you get to admire her with me.

Following the cut through the sand hills made by the Middle Loup River, westbound empties wait for permission on to Alliance. The train is stopped at Seneca, NE and the Stable Productions Exotic Animal Ranch is in the background. Home to zebras, water buffalo, elk, reindeer and other exotics, the only thing from out-of-town I caught in the frame was a Kansas City Southern SD70ACe.

This is a project from DMZ group I joined at Yahoo, the request of this project aims to create a graphic or as many as I like, which has an Exotic/Erotic feel to it. Making the feeling come forth, making it speak without showing all... almost like a tease. Create ART Not Porn. So here are my creation. Tell me how you think about them.
