The magic of golden hour is hard to beat.

Cowboy Bebop

Are any of you fans of animé? I can’t say I’m a huge fan, but a few years ago I did watch and enjoy Cowboy Bebop. It took place in the far future, in space. As the title suggests, the main character was something of a cowboy, and there was a jazz influence to every episode. Actually it covered almost every genre of music, but always returned to jazz. I think the music is really why I liked the series so much.

What’s your favorite series?

Today’s photo reminds me of one of the best jazz pieces from the series, a fantastic song called Space Lion that features one of the most beautiful sax solos I have heard.

Check it out (ignore the graphic. Just close your eyes and listen to the song):

That Golden Sky

This was a lovely sky I caught about a week ago. Looking at the Oto River, one of the main rivers in Okazaki and one I’ve featured several times in other photos (like here).

Photo was processed with the Lightroom 4 Beta, by the way. It’s free, so if you have any desire to test it out, head to the Adobe website and get it.
