Shimanto-gawa Swimming Marathon

What is the suspect procession?

I went swimming to Simanto-river.
This is Simanto-gawa swimming marathon.

The start line of 5km course.

The red bridge is goal line.

I hardly could swim all the way. The record was 1:40:21.

Anyway, it was nice day today.

Nikon D70

I went diving to Okino-shima.

I usually take a photo by my compact digital
camera, OLYMPUS SP-700. It's just about automatic,
so very easy to use even under water.
But today, I borrowed and used single-lens reflex
digital camera, Nikon D70.
The owner of the camera was kind enough to set up
the camera to perfectly manual operation.
It was impossible to adjust the focous, aperture,
and shutter speed under water!!! XD

Although, I enjoyed the exciting experiance. =)

Pigmy sea horse (Orange)

There are three Pigmy sea horses.
When I took the photo, I looked at only one.
On the computer display, I could find the two more Pigmy sea horses.
Can you see them?

Tiger Lily

We landed on Okinoshima for the lunch.
The little port was covered with fresh green,
and there were many flowers.

Something is missing, isn't it?
I saw a signage at the port, "The car without number plate
is breach of law : Police Office".

Probably, he is a kind of Coral Crab.
But my picture book don't show the name.
