Photo of the Day: Tiny Trains

Public transportation upholstery choices don't usually make me smile, but the Enoden Line's cute seat covers are the exception. Tiny trains for a tiny train.

Slightly out of focus and fuzzy, but dreamy just the same. Whoa! Almost missed a day! Thank goodness for mid-afternoon memory boosts.

Photo of the Day: Floats

There's always something to photograph on the beach. Be it shells, boats, the sea itself—or these wee floats—something always catches my eye.

Photo of the Day: Evening Lantern

Posted on April 14, 2015April 13, 2015 by helenkamakura

Lanterns are a dime a dozen in Japan, but that doesn't mean I'm tired of them. Quite the contrary. To me, lanterns are a warm, glowing light in the night that make me feel all home-y and comfortable. This particular lantern is from the entrance to Zeniarai Benten. There was one on either side of … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Evening Lantern

Photo of the Day: Spring is Springing

There's nothing like a bit of brilliant green to get a body pumped for spring. This verdant ground covering is from Kosoku-ji, a particularly be-gardened temple near Hase Station.

If your aim is to keep power-hungry samurai from your abode, a door like this is the only way to go. This particular door is for the gate at Odawara Castle. The gate wall is thicker than I am tall, and made of huge stone blocks. It's pretty impressive.

Again wi the cherry blossoms... Here they are in individual petals, almost like water dripping off a tree.

Photo of the Day: Seen From Above

Okay, I know I'm posting lots of cherry blossom photos, but I really can't help it. Besides, the season will be over soon. It's pretty much over already, actually. I just need a few more days to get it out of my system. These sakura were snapped from one of the upper floors of Odawara … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Seen From Above

Another cherry blossom photo—I can't help it! They're everywhere! Today, our neighbour took us on a trip to Odawara Castle down the coast. The castle area is famous for all sorts of flowers—cherry, wisteria, iris, hydrangea, etc. Beautiful!
