On This Day In History
1776: Thomas Paine publishes The American Crisis

Quote Of The Day
"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in the crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness that gives everything its value."
(Thomas Paine, The American Crisis )

Now that is what I call writing! And I'm the enemy!

The symbol of Imazu, this lighthouse, was dismantled a few months in order to move it one hundred metres south of its original spot due to ongoing construction work around the harbour. This morning, construction workers were busy dismantling a wooden frame that was used to lower the lighthouse onto its new stone plinth.
