Postcards from Japan
Okies... here they are. They might load slow; there're lots of them, and if I had the choice and more space, I would have loved to upload more. Ain't gonna write a detailed report for the trip, for I can't be bothered to and even if I did, I doubt if anyone'll actually read it. :P
This is one of the biggest Lakes in Chitose (Hokkaido). Clear, clean, cool water, with the bottom of the lake made composed of pumice and solidified lava from the neighbouring now-inactive volcano.
Those swan paddle boats... we rented a few and went around the lake.
The biologist in me taking water samples :P
Approaching dusk... beautiful... simply beautiful
Stag beetle at the entrance of our hotel; invertebrate life at Chitose is extremely rich
A drooling cow at a farm. We milked the poor cow.
Copulating grasshoppers
Sunset at Otaru, a coastal Hokkaido town.
Japan - land of the rising sun... 'cept that this red sun was a setting sun.
The famous Otaru canal
The sun rises... and a passing boat is blessed with rays of glory
The view of the horizon from the hotel terrace
Furano (again, in Hokkaido) is famous for its flower fields and patchworks of agricultural crops
Furano's speciality - lavender
Red, ripe cherries. We went cherry picking... it was a whole lot of fun.
Family photo
Tokyo now - buildings of Roppongi Hills, where old tradition blends in with the new
Ginza, Tokyo's premier shopping district
The grey skies and landscape of Tokyo
Moving on... this is Mt Fuji
Mt Fuji lakeside
Horseriding with family and friends
Waterfalls
Border collie - doing tricks at Doggy Park
A sleeping retriever
A Shiba Inu... the pitiable dog looking forlorn
Fireworks in Tokyo
More fireworks; we just so happened to be stuck in a jam on the roads when the fireworks went off. The cars didn't move, so we enjoyed the whole 30 mins' worth of fireworks.

Jac, Jac, Jac. I think you've out done yourself on the photos. They scenic ones are like the large poster prints they sell in Ikea. Otaru canal night pic would've been funkier with more pizazze if you'd used a starfilter. Don't you wish you got one?
Too nice for words... the pics tell me i need to get a DSLR!
