it was a fun trip down memory lane. I LOVE the photos of the cooking machine guns. that is a memory that has stuck with me for years. I was so shocked to see them!

also, the Ha-Go tank photo did not work.
Yeah, i reckon it was the smaller cannon. I had another look to see if i had photos from different angles, but no. Looking at where the barrel joins the turret is probably the most obvious point of differentiation. It has two flanges that stick out on the side, which matches the smaller cannon.
What i find interesting, is that i never realised the shape of the tank. As it is buried so far down, it was no obvious at all. Thanks for the info and sharing the photos.
mildly interesting?
On an outer island of Kiribati (Abimama), we found these used to out their pots on their cooking fires.

I have been to Tarawa (Kiribati), and there is a few wrecks around the place. I'll dig up a couple if photos that we have.
Any more info or details would be great!
Went back and checked. Nice!
Oh how times have changed.
I wonder how their scale up and dust down projections went?
It is a little bit different.
National parks in Australia are essentially conservation areas that are protected. Maybe more like the national forests, parks and lakeshores combined.
But you are right. What is going on in the east?
Yeah. I would keep the db local, and probably the thumbs and intermediary photos too. But the full resolution would probably be in S3.
dB's are not good on object store, and not good running over the internet. I wish they had native S3 storage, as that would allow for high speed access, where as this will download to the server, then upload to the client which will add latency.

That got me laughing. Thanks!
