Bushido Bryan, regarding the Bodie pictures, it is a Ghost Town in Arrested Decay. Meaning that they are preserving the area so that it does not fall into further decay. It is a National Park now and at one time, it was the richest city in the United States, as it was a mining town. At one point the city had over 2,000 buildings and had more god than Fort Knox. There is a website that you can check out, not a lot on it, but cool I guess. WWW.Bodie.com
Thanks for the comments on my wildlife photos. I shoot lots of stuff, but wildlife is my main interest. I shoot mostly in Michigan and Ohio, but sometimes in Tennessee and Arizona. The west coast of Lake Erie is filled with parks and wildlife refuges because most of the migratory birds will fly around the lake instead of across so they can take advantage of the thermals. Hopefully this year I'll get some good wild eagle shots. I've been seeing alot more the last couple years and they seem to be making a resurgence. The hummingbirds should also be back next week from the Yucatan.
Almost deleted you from my mailing list. One of my links to you kept coming back "member not known". However tried the one in my friends list and I was surprised you were still there. Have you had a change of membership or some other major change?
Bryan, Thanks for coming-by and leaving generous comments to my photos. You have cool shots here too. I have added you to my friends list. I also would like you to come back and read my response to one of your comments right here: http://public.fotki.com/Maximus6996/indonesia/around-the-old-volcano/dscf0161.html I would like to hear more on the subject. Next time you are in China - come-by, we may go out for some photo-shooting together!
Thank you for leaving comments on my photos! Actually, I have been trying to upload my photos in larger size in vain. I wonder if it's a matter of the way of uploading or setup on the web...
Thanks for lots of comments about my photos. The sun in the photo is actually rising. And thanks for showing some interests about my home country Japan in your albums.
you are so blessed to be able to travel like you have. i got a little taste when i was stationed in germany. i got to visit many places in europe, and realized that i really liked traveling. i hope to do it again and explore many more places, as a civilian this time. being a civilian is great. lol i added you to my friend list so i can come back and look at the rest of your pics
Thanks for visiting my page and your comment. Right now I'm kinda stuck on a restoration project which I have put off since last September but will be updating new stuff soon.
Thanks for the excellent comments on my photos. I was stationed in Okinawa for one year and got to spend four months of that up on the side of Mt.Fuji. That was a great time but eventually had to return from Honshu to the Ryukans.
Regards,
Bruce
Take care

Thanks for taking such an interest in my pictures. Guessing you lived/living in Japan yourself?
