Walked up I along the Riverside of Okawa from Temmabashi to Gem Chibashi for Cherry Blossom shooting also today. In spite of fine climate today, the sky was dark like cloudy day influenced by micro grain sand powder in the air that was from Taklimakan and Gobi deserts in PRC. Suppose that without air filter in the air intake of the motors, they will be destroyed into scrap, piston and cylinder will be easily scratched leading compression leakage. Though the criminal comes from PRC without doubt, this is not their responsibility without doubt but simply the natural phenomena at all. Changes in plant system brought by recent unstable climate fluctuation promotes desertization everywhere on the Earth, it is too much, just a matter for regret. Don't cut down huge woods wherever it may be and don't burn out them---never please! Glass construction like lovely but fragile planet should be treated so gently as to continue further generations in future. Replantation of trees is an indispensable artificial business to be performed on the groval scale ASAP, it is nothing but breaking in the vicious circle!

Photo shooting for Cherry blossom today was done at Shukugawa Riverside, the timing was to the point and tomorrow would be the limited date, no further extension is desired. As is a weekday today, moderate congestion was observed.
It is very difficult to shoot at the completed natural beauty like Cherry blossom in full bloom. There is no room to cut into Natural Beauty with artificial method. Best angle position and motif arrangement are the only way for a photographer to come into.
I'll overcome tomorrow what I was inferior today, the location tomorrow would be Okawa in Osaka.
Remember, micro-granular sand would arrive at Osaka tomorrow from Taklimakan Desert in PRC.

Without deeper investigation visited I "Karasu History Museum" in Tsu-City Mie Pref. the other day, Hamaura-6320 is the place. As for our surprise, it was one of a history about WW2 Pacific Front especially suicide attack to US Military not only by Air-attack so to speak "Kamikaze" but also Sea-attack utilizing small motor boat with explosion in front nose, that was named "Sinyo". There was the actual multi-cylinder motor picked up from the sea bottom that had been an originally for trucks including small propeller. Not a few photos of Spirits at that time were exhibited, I could not help bowing with putting hands together to all of them one by one accompanying some tear.
The museum was built by the War experienced volunteers originally named as "Wakasakura Kaikan", now it is under the management of Mie-Pref. I should make it a rule to visit at least once a year.

A Yahoo Auction seller send me clippled tripod the other day. It lacks indispensable parts, controlling lever handle and mounting base plate. But for these parts, this tripod does not play a part to shooting equipment at all, just a void and dust for trash box. The fact that it does not work obliged me to modify the original pan head into ball pan head made by Gitzo #G1175. Special tool with special size were required to complete the modification, 6mm bolt rethreading and cutting in adequate length as matter of fact.
Cerry Dolphin AR-VT tripod has some specific design at the center pole elevator system, coil dumper is embedded on the bottom portion intending smooth and slowly downing movement.
All the functions required as my still shot is fulfilled after my modification, it will contribute to my camera work in future.

Seeking cherry blossom in full bloom, I went out to Tamba-Sasayama region today. Thinking over the climate condition, rainy the day after tomorrow, today and tomorrow are the best opportunity for the flower watching in Kansai area. This is why I took part in the group for the purpose today following their invitation without any hesitation. Clear and transparent air condition was obtained after overcoming the ranged mountains, that's suitable for photo shooting without any Kasumi, mist.
