So... Is this some kind of seaweed? I have no idea, but the colors were nice, and the shape reminiscent of a "tree of life".
Photo of the Day: Tetrapods
If you visit coastal Japan, you're going to see these giant concrete tetrapods all over the place. They help break up rough surf to protect people, property and land. I used to think they were hideously ugly and such a shame to have ruining the seaside, but over the years, I've learned to see a … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Tetrapods
Photo of the Day: Wistful Dreaming
Staring off into the distance is a favourite pastime of mine, and pretty much everyone who comes to the beach, it seems. Another favourite pastime of beach goers—well, locals at least—is digging for various creatures. The fellow in the background was digging for hamaguri clams. The ones near shore are small, and are nice in … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Wistful Dreaming

Luckily, they stick to … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Sea Urchin Delight

Today, the tide was low. Like really, really low. So low, that we could walk all the way out to the huge concrete tetrapods that are normally half covered in water. And because we could, we did. And we searched for creatures and shells and anything, really. Over the next few days, I'll post more … Continue reading Photo of the Day: A Crabby Kind of Day
Photo of the Day: Emerald City
Amanawa Jinja, surrounded by an unbelievable amount of green. There's only one word for it: lush
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: 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.
Photo of the Day: Boats in a Row
Boats all lined up—very satisfying.
