Andrew Moore building on his fantastic Freshman year
Andrew Moore
Oregon State University baseball
After being chosen as one of only three Freshman All Americans last season, Moore has actually pitched even better in the early part of his Sophomore year. 7 2/3 shutout innings last night lowered his ERA to just 0.79 for 2014.
Gwangju blue hour
Photomerged panorama of Gwangju, South Korea during the blue hour from Chonnam National University
Many times last summer I wanted to go out and take some photos, but the weather wasn’t willing. Even when it wasn’t raining cats and dogs, it would usually be so hot and humid that I would have a hard time breaking away from the corner in my apartment that had AC. But on my last night in Gwangju, Mother Nature was merciful. The rain stopped so I headed to the roof of my apartment building to take these four photos which I finally got around to merging together.
Jagalchi Market
Jagalchi Market (자갈치시장) Busan, South Korea
The guidebooks said to watch out for the smells at Jagalchi Market in Busan, but I found it to be one of the least offensive markets, smell-wise, in the many that I visited while in Korea last summer. However, that may have had more to do with the fact that it had been raining all morning. A much smaller Korean market with raw fish, slabs of meat (not on ice and covered with all manner of bugs), and live chickens can be far more offensive to the nostrils on a hot, humid day without a breeze than a gigantic market like Jagalchi which has been doused in rain.
日本ライン夏まつり納涼花火大会
Summer Japanese fireworks festival (Hanabi Taikai in Inuyama, Japan)
If you can’t read Japanese, what you can purchase at these temporary shops, set up just for this evening’s event, are buttered potatoes, cold pineapple, yakisoba, and “snowballs.”
Crane at Hiroshima’s Ground Zero
Crane (鶴) @ Hiroshima bomb site (Motoyasu River)
The atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima had the bridge spanning the Motoyasu River as its target. The bomb didn’t exactly hit its target, but that didn’t matter since it took out everything within a much wider radius. The spot from where I took today’s photo was just below the actual location where the bomb detonated.
