Photo of the Week: Waikiki Beach??

Did you know there’s a Waikiki Beach here in Aichi, Japan? There is. I went there back in 2015 with a few friends. This is Yumi shooting back at me.

It wasn’t actually that dark that day, it’s just the contrast of this photo that makes it look that way. I thought this one looked better in black and white, so here it is. January 2016, Mount Sengatake.

December 2016. One tall tree stands out in the crowd, at the Iwamura Castle ruins.

Odori Park in Sapporo, Japan, August 2015.

May 1, 2017. Matsumoto Castle is one of the biggest and most interesting Japanese castles I’ve been to. Unfortunately it was a bit of a grey and raining day, but we made the best of it anyway.

This week’s pic is of a very old-school neighbourhood, photographed in a very old-school way. Tennoji, Osaka, December 2016.
