A view from Japan in autumn
Some might say this is not this guy’s best angle… A wrestler limbers up before a bout at a sumo basho (tournament) in Tokyo. This stretch is actually a lot more difficult than it looks and to be able to do it requires an amazing amount of strength and flexibility. I know, i’ve tried it!
This older monkey was nodding off in the warm water. I can imagine it’s much more pleasant sleeping here than out in the deep snow. If any of you have seen the movie “Baraka” this reminded me of the opening scene. In fact that movie was what prompted me to head up into the mountains and see these monkeys.

views: 522 / favs: 15 Taken May 20, 2007 with a Fuji E-510. See my Miura Coast calendar. This rock in, known as Shiroyama (literally means “white mountain”), is located Arasaki Park (Yokosuka, Japan). Yokosuka is a city in Miura near Hayama, the town where I did my internship. Hayama is renowned for the beach and green hills, and this place was just a drive down. Hayama literally means “leaf mountain” in Japanese, and indeed Hayama is full of green mountains. The coast of Yokosuka, Hayama; along with other cities in Miura are popular for their beaches and offer a rich experience with nature.

Kyoto, Japan. One of Kyoto’s most picturesque and interesting locations. One of my favourites.
It is said that to see Mt Fuji on a clear day is a rare thing and on our one and only day in this area we got very lucky with some perfect conditions. Clear skies and not a breath of wind. This particular location is renowned for the ‘diamond view’ that can be seen of this beautiful mountain.

I shot this last November on a really cold day down on Lake Ashi, near Mount Komagatake and Fuji-san. Nikon D300 / 80-200mm f/2.8
The title of this photo used to be: Say a prayer for me, with the following description: / °°° / A delicate branch of cherry blossoms, symbol of spring, symbol of new life, carrying someones hope, someones prayers. Such a beautiful tradition in Japan… / °°° But it seems to be that I was misinformed and that the little paper on the tree is not a prayer, but a bad fortune. Here I found the following description of this custom: / °°° / Omikuji are fortunes written on strips of paper available at most Shinto shrines in Japan. There are 12 levels of fortunes, ranging from Great Blessing to Great Curse. When the fortune is bad, it is customary for the person to fold up the strip of paper and tie it to a pine tree branch at the temple grounds, thus freeing the person from the bad fortune. In the event of the fortune being good, the bearer should keep it. / °°° / As you can see, they don’t only use pine trees for it. / More Japan / / /
Just of the coast of Hiroshima, Japan, there is a holy island, Miyajima. If you take the boat there early in the morning this magnificent serene view is yours. If you’re unable to go there in the early morning and want this view, then you’ll just have to buy a print. ;o) Also available as wallpaper for your desktop more work / Part of this calendar / Sold as a Matted Print to an anonymous buyer.
