Another photo from my walk in Shukugawa yesterday. The twisting branches loaded with sakura reminded me of a honeycomb. Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. 2 April 2016.
Explosive ordnance and remnants of war destruction (EXPLODE) project was officially launched on June 27, 2013 in Doboj. The 3,837,830 Euro project that will run until 2015 is financed by the European Union and implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the United Nations Development Programme and the OSCE Mission to BiH.
Today, there are over 17,000 tons of military ammunition surpluses in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The risk of uncontrolled explosion of much of this stock is high, which represents a constant danger to civilians living in the proximity of the storage sites and to the soldiers who are guarding them.
I shot this during a very wet and windy day while on holiday in North Uist ... I figured that it would be a good day to try out some dramatic sea shots.

Tales Of Misadventures
In my younger days, I often played Russian roulette with the fuel in my vehicles. Many of them I knew to within about 500 yards how far the fuel would take me. I remember once my dad taking my sister out for a driving lesson. I was laid under a small lorry I owned repairing something when I heard my dad walk up the drive.
Seems he ran out of fuel about 4 mile up the road, there wasn't mobile phones in those days, and he didn't have any money on him for fuel, so he had walked all the way back to get some. Hearing him shout to my mother 'Where is the little bA*&^rd, I am going to kill him. I decided discretion was the better part of valour and stayed where I was.
Redcar Gala
I had booked a shooting gallery into a gala in the North East town of Redcar. This particular gallery was built into a 6 wheeled Foden lorry. At the time it would average about 12mpg, so was fairly thirsty. Anyway, I arrived at Redcar, drove onto the allocated pitch, and it promptly conked out of fuel. Oh well, I would operate, get the day over then worry about refuelling.
As it turned out it was a bit of a poor day, and everything was finished by about 5pm.
My at the time mate Arthur, owned a transit van, I asked to borrow it so I could go and fill a 5 gallon drum up with diesel. This would allow me to then return with the lorry to the fuel station and fill it up.

General strike in Athens on 11 March, 2010 over Greek government's austerity measures. Peaceful protest blackened by vandalisms, among which the burning of this car. Tear gas soon followed.
A close-up look at the center of one of my Gazunias make it seems as if it is exploding. There is some water sitting in the center, too, which adds to the weird effect.
These are terrific plants, almost indestructible, except for the worst heat and humidity of summer. They close up at nite and love to face the sun. You can find them in white, yellows and oranges.
Happy New Year to all my Flickr friends!! My two resolutions are to get out and shoot more and to make a real effort to learn how to really use my editing programs. Oh, and a third - to be more active here!! :-)
