A gallery of images from my years living in Japan.
At my local pond
At Asakusa Sensoji temple
Meganebashi, Nagasaki
Engakuji, Kita-Kamakura
After that day, I tried for three years to get a real shot of the sun setting over the mountain, and finally succeeded
The statue, built more than 800 years ago, was originally housed in a temple that was destroyed by either a great storm or a tsunami in 1495. It has sat outdoors since
For me, the statue is sublime, matched perhaps only by the Sokkuram Buddha in South Korea
A Japanese castle in Aichi
Another autumn with Daibutsu
Winter in Gifu Prefecture
I love the Great Buddha at Kamakura, and make no apologies for the great number of images of it offered here

This was a “diamond Fuji” day, in which the sun set directly over the top of the mountain. The shadow of the mountain can be seen projected forward on the haze

Wonderful photographs and beautiful fractals. I enjoyed my journey through your site. Thanks for posting this in the UF list.
Incredible photography. Many WOWs came out of my mouth while looking.
I also liked your Europe section a lot. It’s not just excellent technique but you expressed the atmosphere of Europe.
Thank you, I really enjoyed it.
