I'm drawn to sunrises and sunset like a moth to a flame. I was raised with a love for the outdoors, and it's amazing how God uses the beginning of the day and the end of the day to really show off some of his artistic touches to His creation!

Shorinji-ryu karate-do Renshinkan was started by soke founder Isamu Tamotsu, 10th-dan (hanshi), in Kagoshima City, Japan, in 1955. Mr. Tamotsu was born in Naze City, Kagoshima Prefecture in 1919. He was given elementary lessons of karate by fishermen in Itoman, Okinawa in his boyhood and moved to Taiwan when he was 17. Tamotsu learned Kodokan judo and acquired Chinese Shorinji Nampa (southern) Kempo from roshi Chin at the same time. After the World War II, he acquired Kyan Chen Mie (legendary karate-ka) meijin jikiryu (traditional school) in Okinawa.
Integrating these martial arts with houen-ryu-taijutsu (houen-ryu gymnastic art), kensou-ryu-jujutsu (kensou-ryu yawara), hakkou-ryu-jujutsu (hakkou-ryu yawara), bo (long baton), sai (short sword-like weapon), jo (short baton), ancient Chinese martial arts, etc., and establishing his own viewpoint, Tamotsu started Renshinkan Shorinji-ryu karate-do.
With excellent techniques and high spirituality, Renshinkan has been spreading quickly all over Japan and the world for the last 43 years. Renshinkan boasts of 1,000 branches and 300,000 students in Japan.
Renshinkan is also proliferating in many foreign countries {ﾐepublic of China, USA, Philippines, India, Puerto Rico, Dominica, Finland, Sweden, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, and Panama.
In "Black Belt" an American martial arts magazine, a great number of Syorinji-ryu kata's and sparring techniques from the second soke, Iwao Tamotsu were introduced.
★ How to join Shorinji-ryu Renshinkan karate-do
Just make a phone call first! All you need is karate-gi!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You first learn kukan-zuki. Hold both of your fists firm, thrust one of your hands with speed and power, pull the other backwards and strike with the elbow. It is important to maintain your axis and turn your shoulders and waist quickly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mae-geri is a technique to kick the opponent with the upper part of the foot. It is the basic technique of various kicks. Continue training to kick as far as you can to the extent you don't lose your axis. Kicks vary a lot, but the basic kick remains to be mae-geri.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sokuto-geri is the technique to kick the opponent with the side of your foot. Techniques with elasticity and power of the entire body in the waist have big destructive power and characterize Renshinkan Shorinji-ryu karate-do.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These three basic techniques are the essence of all.
Those practicing Renshinkan Shorinji-ryu karate-do are advised to practice these techniques every day.
Explained next are zenshin (forward) and kotai (backward), basics of shubi-gata (defense forms).
Hexham
Originally a Victorian workhouse, then health service property, now standing empty, and due for "redevelopment" or demolition. Perhaps it could be reopened as a new workhouse to meet current needs.
I managed to get inside for some photos.
This is the "Master's House" much more opulent than the rest of the buildings.
Bastard!
Masters store located near the Toorak Road-Auburn Road intersection which is one of 18 stores in Victoria for the Woolworths-Lowes (USA) joint venture in hardware. Opened in April 2013 it was built on a long abandoned gasworks site adjoining the now busy Monash Freeway with the compact site meaning it was provided with underground car parking. Heavy losses against incumbent rival Bunnings in part due to an aggressive expansion (often next to Bunnings stores) and low sales have seen Woolworths abandon the category altogether and announce closure of the chain by early December 2016 with a liquidation sale starting August of the year. These shots were taken early in the closing down sale.
The stores (including several development sites) have been sold to Home Consortium who will reconfigure the sites to a combination of Spotlight, Anaconda, JB Hi Fi, The Good Guys and Woolworths supermarkets. Rival Bunnings will take over 15 of the 61 stores open. Liquidation is being carried out by the Great American Group with evidence seen in the large 'STORE CLOSING' and 'GOING OUT OF BUSINESS' signs more commonly seen in the closing of large stores in the United States.
Light switches and examples of the Australian 240V power point or more correctly 'General Purpose Outlet (GPO)'. The Australian standard actually originated as an obsolete three pin version of the American two pin socket with 220V/240V provision for larger appliances which was quickly abandoned in North America due to its incompatibility with the 110V/120V two parallel pin plug in use today. The use of flat pins was preferred over round ones for ease of manufacture. The standard was informally agreed around 1930 by the socket manufacturers Clipsal, Ring Grip and the State Electricity Commission of Victoria; later formally adopted as the Australian Standard in 1938.
Though it looks a bit like it, this is not poison ivy. The thorns on the stem and the leaves with serrated edges indicate that this is a wild blackberry bush.
