Sharp (Hayakawa Electric Industry Co., Ltd) was founded by Tokuji Hayakawa in 1915. The company started by making pencils...the "Ever-Sharp" pencil to be exact. (I would assume that's where the name Sharp came from). In 1925 they began producing crystal radio sets and made their first AC/tube radio sets in 1928.
They claim to have produced Japan's first commercially released TV set (the TV3-14T) in 1953.

Amazing rough, sharp-edged structure of the chalk stone here, caused by the constant battering by the waves.
This is the bird that I showed in my previous picture. I had assumed it was a Sharp-shinned Hawk, which are much more common in this area. But bp250 , a sharp-eyed Flickrite, suggested that it was a Cooper's Hawk. Maybe this view of its tail will help. It does have a wide band at the end of the tail.
Please tell me what you think. Thanks!

Thanks for the expert advice. Sounds like this is a Sharp-shinned Hawk, not a Cooper's Hawk. Thank you.
Lisle's a great weekend afternoon camping spot. There's a great view of the tracks from the east end of parking lot E, which on weekdays is usually packed full. I was after a shot involving the signal bridge behind the 175, unfortunately heat haze rising from the tracks blurred those out, but this close up worked out just fine.
