Outdoor Photos
These are some general sorta pics taken around where I live. Occasionally
updated.
I was in an unfamiliar part of town, when I saw a pair of perfectly reasonable dress shoes on the road. I saw them at the same time a 12 year old kid saw `em. He went to pick them up, but I told him to wait a sec, as I wanted to take a photo. I tried to start up a conversation with him, but he seemed really, really frightened of me.
After a break in traffic, he picked up the shoes then put them on that embankment. What a nice boy.
This is half of the sign for a hotel. The first character means white, and the second one means bird. Together, they mean `swan`, hence the sign writer made them look like swans. How cool is that?
Someone left their scooter there for ages. Now it`s totally rooted.
A really long tunnel, under a mountain. Takes at least 5 minutes on a bike, or something.
The sun sets on another day in Fukushima.
Does this apartment placard seem a little Third Reich to you?
One tree
20th April
7th May
A plum blossom tree, shot from the hallway of my apartment.
Same tree: reversed position. I'm standing about where the guy on the bike is in
the previous photo.
This is my apartment by the way: Fukushima International Students House.
I'm not sure whether to call it a dorm or an apartment complex. Oh well, it's
nice.
A snow-capped mountain from my window.
Also, a green bridge!
The Abukumagawa River.
A common site in Japan. Not only is riding a bike convenient and healthy: It's
fun!
See? Everyone's doing it.
The dog's eating something, and the woman's watching the dog. I'm taking a photo
of the both of them.
It's a poor photo of the dog, but it was really cute. It was also incredibly
well behaved. Polite, even... Could it be that Japanese good manners extend to
pets?
Your standard overpass shot. My apartment is about 10 minutes walk in the
opposite direction.
A rare example of Japanese graffiti. Unlike their Australian equivalents,
Japanese graffiti is neat and spelt correctly.
It's hard to tell if this is an act of teen rebellion or professional
advertising.
More graffiti. "If you love someone, make sure it is true", or
something like that.
Note the impeccable handwriting.
Taken mere seconds before I was pestered by Mormons.
