Guadalcanal Island with rainbow and moon, Solomon Islands

Next weekend is the 72nd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the start of the war in the Pacific. This week I’d like to feature some of my photos from Guadalcanal and The Slot, which were sites of famous battles between the United States and their Allies against the Japanese in 1942. The rainbow over Guadalcanal symbolizes the healing that followed the bloody history of the island and surrounding waters.

The following is a copy of some of the text from the war memorial at Honiara, Guadalcanal:
“Exploiting their successful attack upon Pearl Harbor, 7 December 1941, the Japanese struck at American, British, Chinese and Dutch Territories in the Pacific. Forced on the defensive, the United States nevertheless was determined to keep open the line of communications to Australia and to aid in its defense. Although delayed by stubborn American and Filipino resistance in the Philippines, the enemy, by mid-April 1942, had established bases in the New Guinea-Solomons area, thus threatening Australia itself. On 3 May the Japanese occupied Tulagi, a small island close to Florida Island in the Solomons group.

This brought on the Battle of the Coral Sea, 4-8 May 1942, a strategic victory for the allies in which the heretofore uninterrupted Japanese push southward was halted for the first time. Then came the Battle of Midway, 3-7 June, one of the most decisive battles in naval history. The Japanese suffered crippling losses in aircraft carriers and the balance of sea power in the Pacific turned in favor of the United States and her allies. When it was discovered in early July that the Japanese had begun construction of an airfield on Guadalcanal, US Forces undertook the first land offensive of the war.”

  • 'V' is for Various Vivid Vibrant Violas from Vancouver<br /> <br /> I decided to have fun with Photoshop and try some new techniques. I picked several Violas from my Vancouver garden (1 yellow, 3 Violet, 6 white) and floated them in a clear glass dish of water on a black background and photographed them. In Photoshop, I applied a lens blur, then a spherical gradient to fade the blur in the center. Then I applied a spherical filter to make the image into a globe, cloned out everything that fell outside the circle, and then overlaid the resulting sphere with a B/W bokeh image that looked like snow at night and applied another spherical gradient to fade the bokeh from the center of the image. What I was trying to achieve was a surrealistic 3D sphere full of flowers floating in a snowy sky at night. You can be the judge of whether I succeeded or not :-)<br /> <br /> 07/11/2013 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>

  • Wrecked fishing boat on Robben Island, Cape Town in background, South Africa<br /> <br /> Taken from my archives and posted today in memory of Nelson Mandela, the remarkable South African who died yesterday at the age of 95.<br /> <br /> I first visited South Africa in 1984 when it was still under the apartheid regime, and Nelson Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island off the south coast of Cape Town. I visited again in 2000 after the Truth and Reconciliation hearings and made a trip to Robben Island to see the prison there and the cell where Mandela had been imprisoned for much of his 27 years in prison. I took this picture on the beach of Robben Island and I like to think that Madiba may have stood on this very spot by the old wrecked boat and enjoyed this view of Cape Town.<br /> <br /> In the winter of 1964, Nelson Mandela arrived on Robben Island where he would spend 18 of his 27 prison years. Confined to a small cell, the floor his bed, a bucket for a toilet, he was forced to do hard labor in a quarry. He was allowed one visitor every 6 months for 30 minutes. He could write and receive one letter of 500 words every six months. But Robben Island became the crucible which transformed him. Through his intelligence, charm and dignified defiance, Mandela eventually bent even the most brutal prison officials to his will, assumed leadership over his jailed comrades and became the master of his own prison. He emerged from it the mature leader who would fight and win the great political battles that would create a new democratic South Africa. Mandela was released from Robben Island in 1990 and four years later the prisoner became the President.

  • Site of the decisive Battle of Edson's Ridge, with the strategic hills 123 and 80 and the Lunga River (mid far right), Guadalcanal Is, Solomon Islands<br /> <br /> Perhaps the most savage and bloody, yet largely forgotten, military campaigns in the Pacific War between the US and Japan, revolved around the island of Guadalcanal. For over six months forces of Japan and the United States were locked in a bitter struggle on land, sea and in the air. <br /> <br /> The Americans were successful in capturing Lunga Point, which was the Japanese airfield. They renamed it Henderson Field, and it was to be a vital link in the resupply chain for the Allied defense of New Guinea and Australia. The Japanese mounted an attack to win back the airfield, whose perimeter was defended at the Lunga Ridge in the south of the airfield, which became known as Edson’s Ridge after the US forces commander "Red' Mike Edson. Although the Americans were almost overrun by the Japanese, in the end the attack was defeated with heavy losses for the Japanese. The battle took place between the 12-14 September 1942, with the Japanese attacking at night on two flanks. The Japanese almost over-ran the Americans on the 2nd night as the Marines were not only greatly outnumbered but were short of ammunition and supplies, and had no possibility of resupply. <br /> <br /> In the end the Battle of Edson’s Ridge was one of the most decisive victories of the war in the Pacific since it had a strategic impact on the Japanese operations in other parts of the Pacific. The Japanese realized that, in order to send enough troops and supplies to defeat the Allies on Guadacanal, they could no longer support the offensive in Papua New Guinea to capture Port Morseby, which was the doorway to an attack on Australia. The defeat at Edson's Ridge contributed not only to Japan's defeat in the Guadalcanal campaign, but also to Japan's ultimate defeat throughout the South Pacific. Historian Richard B Frank has written “The Japanese never came closer to victory on the island itself (Guadacanal) than in September 1942, on a ridge thrusting up from the jungle just south of the critical airfield, best known ever after as Bloody Ridge.<br /> <br /> A couple of photos of Honiara locals can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/yq9KRK">http://goo.gl/yq9KRK</a><br /> <br /> 04/12/13 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>
  • Islanders selling WWII artefacts they have scrounged from the Bloody Ridge battlefield, Bloody Ridge Memorial (rather the worse for wear), Guadalcanal Is, Solomon Islands. <br /> <br /> You'll notice that several of the children have very blond hair. This is not because they dye their hair or that they carry the genes of blond servicemen. The explanation is much more interesting.<br /> <br /> It's long been presumed the unusually fair-haired Melanesians were a result of long-ago liaisons with European traders, while locals often attributed their golden locks to a diet rich in fish or the constant exposure to the Sun.<br /> <br /> A new study genetic study of the islanders (DNA sampling of their saliva) says the reason why a substantial number of Solomon Islanders are blond is due to simple genetics - a gene called TYRP1 that is unique to the Solomons. The gene is found in 26 per cent of the people from the Solomons and other parts of Melanesia. A mutation in the gene affects melanin synthesis. The gene is not related to the gene for albinism, which results in light coloured hair, eyes and skin due to the complete absence of pigment in the skin.<br /> <br /> TYRP1 is a recessive gene, which means that both the mother and the father need to pass a copy on to the child for the child to have blonde hair. This results in around 10% of children in Melanesia having blond hair. The gene is rare or absent outside of Melanesia. This particular gene has a very strong effect on hair colour, and a much milder effect on eye colour and skin colour. Similar to blonde Europeans, as people grow older their hair gets darker. Clearly the families shown here carry a high percentage of the gene.<br /> <br /> Other photos of the children and the memorial can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/HOyJ5z">http://goo.gl/HOyJ5z</a><br /> <br /> 03/12/13 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>
  • Local boats in Honiara harbour, Guadalcanal Is, Solomon Islands (best larger)<br /> <br /> Honiara is the main city on Guadalcanal. It owes its existence to the huge military supply depot that the USA built in this bay in 1943. To support the Allied war efforts in the north-western Solomons, the USA constructed wharves, roads and storage sheds and completed Henderson airfield, which is now the international airport for the island.<br /> <br /> Other photos of the shipping and harbor can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/DXqurj">http://goo.gl/DXqurj</a><br /> <br /> 02/12/13 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>
  • 'U' is for 'Unforgotten'<br /> <br /> WWII vet lost in his memories at the US War Memorial, Honiara, Guadalcanal Is, Solomon Islands. Some of the text is reproduced below.<br /> <br /> After repulsing the heavy Japanese attacks in October, American troop strength on Guadacanal was increased again by bringing the 1st and 2nd batalions, 2nd Marines from Tulagi to Guadalcanal, and returning the 3rd batalion to Tulago. On 4 November the 9th Marines of the 2nd Marine Division arrived, eight days later two batalions of the 182nd Infantry Regiment of the Americal Division were landed.<br /> (content truncated) <br /> For four long months the 1st Marine Division reinforced had borne the brunt of a long, continuous battle, during which it inflicted far greater casualities upon the enemy than it suffered. It had also endured the hot, steamy, tropical, disease-infected jungle, which, in its own way, was a worse enemy. Of all diseases to which the division was exposed, malaria presented the greatest problem. The Division’s tour of duty had been twice the length that medical officers believed could be endured under such conditions. On 22 December the 1st Marines left the island, followed by the 7th Marines on 5 January, 1943.<br /> <br /> For an absolutely fascinating account about the completely chaotic sea battle on Iron Bottom Sound (The Slot), which was grossly mismanaged on both sides, see here: <a href="http://www.historynet.com/battle-of-guadalcanal-first-naval-battle-in-the-ironbottom-sound.htm">http://www.historynet.com/battle-of-guadalcanal-first-naval-battle-in-the-ironbottom-sound.htm</a><br /> <br /> Other photos from the War Memorial and of the wreath dropping ceremony in Iron Bottom Sound can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/7QntyV">http://goo.gl/7QntyV</a><br /> <br /> 1/12/13 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>

  • Mother and child in shop with wall painting of the Indian goddess Kali and the pilgrim path to the Kalika Mata Temple, Pavagadh Hill, Gujurat, India<br /> <br /> Kali is portrayed mostly in two forms: the popular four-armed form, seen here, and the ten-armed form. In both of her forms, she is described as being black in color but is most often depicted as blue in popular Indian art. Her eyes are described as red with intoxication, and in absolute rage, her hair is shown disheveled, small fangs sometimes protrude out of her mouth, and her tongue is lolling. She is often shown naked or just wearing a skirt made of human arms and a garland of human heads. She is usually depicted standing on a seemingly dead Shiva, usually right foot forward to symbolize the right-handed path.<br /> <br /> Other photos from the Pavagadh Hill can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/BpcPiK">http://goo.gl/BpcPiK</a><br /> <br /> 29/11/13 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>
