I was on Iwo Jima and up on Surabachi in a pill box in 1956. It sure didn't look like this now. I understand the Japanese run it now and control who comes and goes. Nice post.

My Sky Watch Friday post is at my Canon Pixels blog. If you have time I would appreciate your having a look at the sky peeking through the oak tree leaves.

I like the picture and thought how good it was for Sky Watch.. then I've read Abe's comment and the others and saw how much interest your post are getting.. well done my friend and thank you for being a part of Sky Watch.
I can not get around to everyone that links here anymore.. I used to but with the numbers now pushing the 400 mark I have to limit my visiting and commenting... so if I've not said welcome to Sky Watch in the past to you please forgive and except it now.
