A Great Miniature World
Tobu World Square (東武ワールドスクウェア) is a theme park in Kinugawa Onsen, Nikkō, Tochigi, Japan. The theme park contains over a hundred 1:25 scale models of famous buildings, including UNESCO-designated World Cultural and Heritage Sites, complete with 140,000 1:25 miniature people.
On 24 April 2010, a 1:25 scale model of the Tokyo Skytree was unveiled at the park. This is 26 metres tall, taller than the 19.95-metre replica of the New York World Trade Center(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
I took my family on a two-day, one-night drive to nearby prefectures the other day and took these pictures along the way.

Ural owl(1)
There is a saying that the best thing to have is a friend.
I always learn
a lot from this friend about birding technology.
I can think of no other word concerning his
knowledge of birds other than 'astonishing knowledge'.
Today, I was able to capture a parent owl on camera for the
first time in quite some time.
For the first
time, this friend taught me that it is the female parent that watches over her
young near the nesting tree, and that the male is not nearby.
Be that as it may, yesterday I rode my beloved assisted bicycle 30 km around the owl's nesting site. I think to myself that I'm just mad already.
The crazy temperature has been continuing, including heavy rain.
