Journeys in Japan - iPhone

Kurama Dera

This website is from my iPhone, I am thinking NOT to bring the mirrorless camera in the future but I still have doubt, maybe the heat and humidity makes me think that way, anyway enjoy the images.

Morning stroll without the heat is wonderful, then a little Japanese and a little English, we make friend with Yuki-san and her dog Rocky.

Hiroshima Trams - Hiroden

Hiroden at Hiroshima Station

Just like a kid in a candy store, I click the camera shutter every time there is a movement of the trams, and I watch how these trams make an efficient way in and out from the main station. I also tried the ASTRAM Linem a rubber tired trams.

Atomic Bomb Dome

Atomic Bomb (Genbaku) Dome

I have never felt so sad in making a website before, somehow I have to make the story correctly, last night I was dreaming to include the picture of the survival, which I omitted yesterday when choosing the images. This is 1945 technology, can you imagine nowadays? I hope my website do the justice in telling the story.

Iwakuni - Kintaikyo

Kintaikyo from the east side of the river

It is a challenging task to take photographs in the rain, Pokie has to hold the big umbrella while I compose and snap a few pictures, at time I can manage it by myself. It is raining the whole time when we were there, we found Kikko Park by accident.

Miyajima, Itsukushima Shrine

Itsukushima's torii gate appears floating on a high tide.

The day started just cloudy, we are very lucky to be there very early before any tourists are destroying the view. it later rains and its so humid, I will not go to Japan during the beginning of summer months as it is the rainy season, it makes the travelling twice as tiring compared when it is cool weather.
