Japan Trip 2010 (No.2)

These are the pictures taken in Japan on 2010.. The first photo is a bicycle, it looks like a penny-farthing because the wheel at the back is smaller then the front one.. Unique right?

The second photo is a stairway inside a Shinto Temple at Narita-san, Japan.. As you can see, there's a sweeper who keeps the stairs clean..

The third photo was taken somewhere in Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture.. Looks like his waiting for something.. lol.. Please enjoy the photos.. until next week.. See Ya!

Snowing In Gifu

Hmmm.. I miss Japan.. Just came back from there a week ago, but I'm missing Japan already:'( LOL.. You guys may find my photos becoming more boring.. hahaha.. maybe.. However, no worries.. I'm actually working on photos I caught in Japan recently.. Anyway, I never said this before but Thank You Very Much to whoever that always visit my blog.. And please continue to do so.. haha.. I need support from you all XP

Welcome To Physical Realm...

Hmm.. I don't know what title should I make for this photo. LOL.. As you can see in the picture above, my main focus was the baby. Although, I guess it isn't really so.. I was quite failed in focusing totally at the baby due to the crowd at that time and my lens doesn't have a large aperture.. However still, I like this photo:P

People And Street

Photo was taken in Takayama Street, Japan.. I quite like the view from the lower angle of the staircase and so I took some photos of it just to feed my curiosity about how it'll look on my camera screen, and there you go... That's all for today, until next week:D

The Autumn Leaf

You guessed it.. Maple Leaf..:) Photo was taken in Japan last year.. It was autumn at that time, so it is just normal to see these maple leaves during this season.. I miss autumn.. lol.. But it's okay because I'm going to Japan again soon which is this end of October and its autumn again..:D Will take many photos..:D

Vintage Ride

As you can see in the picture, it is an old ride I saw at this hotel I stayed in Takayama, Japan called Grantia Route Inn Hotel and if you see the photo properly, it was actually snowing when I took this photo.. Anyway, this ride is still in a good condition and well maintained, and the hotel use this vehicle to provide transport for their customers to visit the town of Takayama:)

Marching

This is in Takayama, Japan.. And the band was participating some sort of celebration that was held at the town.

Night Life In Tokyo

This is some street of Tokyo, Japan.. This is a typical scenery that you can witness at night in Japan.. The streets are full of decorative lamps and it's full of people..

Street Life In Takayama 2

Takayama, Japan.. A very clean and tidy town.. Because of the discipline of the Japanese.. You will be shocked when you see their drain in Takayama, it looks exactly like a river.. the water is very clean and the current running steady.. very nice..:)

Japanese Made

I'm sorry, I really do not know what's the name of the car maker, however I'm pretty certain it's Japanese made.. Took this picture at the shore of lake Saiko, Japan..:)

Hikaru Museum

This was taken at one of the prestigious museum in Japan, which is located in Takayama, Gifu Prefecture. If I'm not mistaken, this floor resembles the Mayan Ancient Calendar, I think:P It's located few meters away from the museum front. Of course, I took picture of the museum too, however, i decided to post only the floor from the area because I think it's nice.. lol

Vintage Bicycle

A close up photo of an old bicycle I saw when I was roaming the town of Takayama, Japan:)

Saiko (West Lake)

This is Saiko or in English is West Lake, Japan. Saiko is one of the five lakes that are around the radius of the Fuji Mountain. During our tour to Japan, as planned in our tour package we were required to put a night at a hotel which was really close by the lake before we proceed to our next destination the next day. I took the opportunity to look around the lake and capture some shots and up there is one of it..

Ginkgo Leaves

Some Ginkgo Leaves I took at Takayama, Japan..:) For those who do not know about this fact, let me explain.. Ginkgo leaves, Maples Leaves any other leaves are all originally green in color. However, it'll turn into nice colors like yellow or red or etc. during autumn because it doesn't catch or received enough light from the sun.. The worst time for them is winter, that's when all leaves will fall.. That's as far as I know, like explained by our tour guide..

Stroll

I love this one very muchT_T Yup, taken this photo in Takayama Town, Japan.. There was a morning market and it was so crowded.. people keep coming in and out.. And when I saw those seniors on the way, they caught my eye very much, that forced me to take their picture.. So, here it is:D Some said, it looks like a picture from the 60's, I kinda think it's true, because of the cloth they're wearing.. lol.. Anyway, Japan is nice:D

Street Of Tokyo

Yup, this is in Tokyo, Japan. We were heading to Narita Airport on a coach. So I took a back seat and get as many shots I can get as we across along so many streets of Tokyo. This is one of them, more coming next time:)

Cycling Back Home

Bicycle, you can find it everywhere all over Japan. The Japanese have this discipline where, they will not use their car to their destination if it's only around the corner. First, they do not want to contribute to traffic jam. Secondly, they do not want to contribute to air pollution. Thirdly, they want to stay healthy by cycling their bicycles instead of only hitting the clutch and shifting up gears. The Japanese even walk to their workplace. It's a country of discipline, that's what I've been told and I can say it's entirely correct especially in the rural areas like Takayama for example. This photo taken in Takayama, Japan:)

Sunshine

This is taken in Hirayu, somewhere in Gifu prefecture, Japan. As you can see, there's a bit of snow on the roof and on the pavement. It's being melted by the morning sunshine. Actually it was autumn, our tour guide kept telling us that we were very very lucky, because it is rare to have snow in the midst of autumn. Well, I thank God for answering my prayers. Because, honestly deep in my heart, I was praying all the time to be permitted to experience, to touch, to feel the snow in real life. Trust me, for those who not yet experience snow, you have to try it yourself. I can't really describe the feelings but what I can tell you that, it was so romantic when the snow reaches and touches your skin. I bragged too much about the snowXD I love this photo because of the sunshine and the flare.

I'm Australian!

There was a ceremonial event at a Shinto Shrine in Takayama, Japan. Many people from many countries participated the ceremony. And the picture shows an Australian who participated the event. He carries his country's flag and really proud of it:D
