There are always words in different languages that just don’t translate well, no matter how hard you try. Kouyou is one of them. In kanji, it looks like this: 紅葉. 紅 means red, but a deeper, bolder red than your typical crayon red and 葉 = leaf/lea...

Enoshima is a small island near Kamakura. Nice, very natural and with a surrealistic zone in the back. Today it was a snowy day and it's not usual in the Tokyo-Yokohama area, so it was the perfect day to see the snow and the sea together.

One of the few place we have been to in Japan during our last visit was Kokedera (Moss temple). Pretty nice place, even though they make you to jump through all sorts of hoops to get there (including mandatory sutra writing before you can enter, req...

A nice, unique kind of cherry blossom I came across this past spring, finding it in several yards around town. The blossoms grow in 3 different colors on the same tree. If interested, visit my blog for more HDR goodness. New shot everyday @ http://J...
