Here are my 2017 favourites; the photos caught sunrise at Byron Bay Lighthouse in September. I missed to catch but saw silhouette of whales and dolphins up and down on the ocean that took morning sunlight. It’s like they were dancing.
I took many photographs this year and I really like some of them, but eventually I could not get other photos beaten these.
It was spectacular morning. 🙂
Thank you for stopping by.
Another throwback from my drawer, now it’s back in 2012.
This was photographed when I visited my old friend living in a suburb of Chicago last time. I have made visit her three times in total and I did remember how I was impressed about a lot of skyscrapers in central Chicago. I thought of Chicago Tribune was one of the best architectures in Chicago at my first visit. On my last visit, I walked around the area and saw it again, it was still one of the best. It was absolutely beautiful and majestic.
The friend and I had a chat the other day. We plan to make another catch up sometime next year. We have not decided where to catch up at, but I believe that I will be back to see this architecture again if it is Chicago for us to meet at. 🙂

I would like to share a couple of more photographs out of decent amount that I took at Fujiyoshida Sengen Jinja shrine (富士吉田浅間神社), which I mentioned in my previous blog with a photo (here).
It was a cold morning in early spring season and base areas of Mt. Fuji remained snow unmelted on the roadside.
The photos were caught the path of main (front?) approach of the shrine from the big arch to enter. I looked back toward the arch and caught the scene at the middle of the path to the shrine behind me. Number of lanterns aligned on both side of the path wore green cap of moss, which made good contrast of reserved lanterns in colours yet made beautiful harmony with trees behind them.
It was a cold morning in early spring season but the crisp air shook me in the head and gave me a pleasant morning at the shrine to give my greeting to the god.
Thank you for stopping by. 🙂
This is my submission to this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Ascend.
When I stepped into the centre of this tree bunch to look up above, it realised me how little me attempting to find out how big they are, its non-sense right.
They live way longer than me and that’s enough to be respected that they have been at the shrine over four hundred years ago (or earlier or later of the period).
This was photographed at Fujiyoshida Sengen Jinja Shrine, Yamanashi, Japan. It’s located at base of Mt. Fuji.
Thank you for stopping by.
I went to Japan four times this year for various reasons and in ranging from 4 days to 15 days per stay. First visit of the year was pure holiday and caught up with my family and friends there. Second and third stay were for some stuff to do which I did not expect in the beginning of the year, and the last stay was for semi-business trip. On each trip, I took my camera (as always) with me. I usually take a lot of photographs at the site where I visit and I did on my first trip. I went out various spots in Japan visiting a friend living in an island off Kyushu. On my second and third visits, I stayed in Tokyo and was a little bit full on so my range of trekking activity for photography was limited.
There are many photos that were taken at that time left untouched on my drawer.
And I started taking them a look and will share little by little because some should deserve.
The below photo was taken at Shinjuku, Tokyo.
To be honest, I was not sure as to whether I like this architecture or not.
Is it beautiful or ugly? :p
All I saw about this building was, that it had a strong presence and somehow photogenic.

These photos were taken at Byron Bay when I went for my birthday trip. It was really short trip but I had really great time entirely.
Anyway, I like these photos because of the slight yet continuous background changes happened behind the lone seagull on the solid rock. I also like form of a series of waves I captured. I usually love watching waves at any seashore and I can watch them for hours, zero boredom. So I had had so many difficulties at Byron, to make myself move from a number of beautiful nature scenes there. Ocean waves were absolutely one of them.
Anyway, it will be great if you enjoy.
Thank you for stopping by.
この写真は９月の自身のバースデー旅行で、クィーンズランド州に近いバイロン・ベイに行ったときに撮ったものです。
一羽のカモメの背景にある波の動きと波の形、そして背景の変化が気に入っています。最後に波の向こう側からシー・カヤックをしている人達が見えたのも、気に入りました。
今回も、ブログに立ち寄ってくださりありがとうございました。
