Today’s photo is another Shirakawa shot. A farmer working one of his many fields.

About

This is the same guy who I snapped from overhead while on the mountain that overlooks the town.

Shirakawa is such a nice, peaceful place. I really need to get back there sometime.

Today’s photo is a building with a face. Does it look like a smile to you?

About

I suppose it could just as well be frowning, or even just chilling out and not making any expression at all. It’s a face, at any rate.

You see faces in the strangest places when you look for them. There are entire websites dedicated to the faces people find in ordinary everyday objects. Here’s the first google result I get.

There is even a wikipedia entry for it. Hidden Faces.

Today’s photo is a pleasant scene from a rice field with the multi-colored light from the sunset poking through and highlighting the clouds nicely.

About

If you look closely, you can see a bunch of people walking in the photo. Towards evening, many drive to the rice fields just in order to take relaxing walks through them. I’m sure this amuses the farmers to no end.

Today’s photo is a nice sunset I caught a while ago.

About

Sunsets always look better in HDR. I’ll repost a few other older sunset photos below.

Buy Prints

Long time visitors will notice a few new links below the photo. I have gotten a number of requests to purchase prints, so I added it. I tried to keep the price reasonable. It looks like this may be limited to our US visitors, but they are adding more currencies soon. You can also buy postcards and send photos to friends as ecards (free).

My photos are still completely free to download, this is just for those of you who want a print and/or want to help support this site.

More Sunsets

Today’s photo is a group of Buddhas all gathered together trying to look cool.

Pretty neat effect with the sunset behind them. I often wonder if they consider things like this when they build these temples.

Also, note the phoenix on either side.
