Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Dome
Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Dome is Hiroshima's best-known symbol and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I was born and grew up in Hiroshima and never left my home town until I came to Hawaii in 1997. First time I visited Hiroshima memorial park, I was only 9 years old and was very scared to see what happened in 1945. I rarely visited there since then. We had "peace class" every once a while at elementary school and teacher showed us the films of Hiroshima right after the atomic bomb which filmed by US military. My father was 14 and living about 30km from the Bomb dome and saw the huge smokes rose up to the sky from the Hiroshima city.
I usually don't have much time when I go home. But since the economy is not great, I had a lots of free time so I went to the peace park in the very cloudy day. That's why it kind of looks scary. The park is beautiful. There are many sakura trees along the river and we have lots of parties under the trees when the cherry blooms.

Sakura and surfing
I went to see Sakura in Wahiawa yesterday. Those are from Okinawa so the flower is little bit different than mainland Japan. But still Sakura and beautiful.
Then I went to Haleiwa to get some shaved ice but every shop had LONG line! I gave up and took some picture of surfin. Wave was big and so many surfer was out there.

Canon Powershot G11
After I took pictures of snail, I couldn't get Canon Powershot G11 off my mind. How long it has been since I bought compact camera last time? Was I good this year? Do I deserve it? It didn't take long time for me to decide. My new camera arrived today.

Snail, snail, snail
I was asked to make website for the snail lab in UH. They didn't have much pictures of snails so I went to take some. I don't have macro lens so I borrowed Canon power shot G11 from the lab.
The camera was amazing! It has all the function that SLR has. 10 mega pixel, ISO is up to 3200, f/2.8 (W) - f/4.5 , Av, Tv, even manual settings. Hey, it's better than my camera!
