Tokyo Tower

What's left in my mind. From Tokyo.

Hairy Red

A bit unfocussed. Too much wind. *halah*

Lantern Nights

I kinda miss Honjo, lately, so I took all my Honjo photo collections out to reminisce our time there. Then, I came across this lantern photos. I almost forgot all about this.

There was a violin recital that night at Waseda-Honjo Shinkansen Station. Since it was a clear starry night (and the premise was just 5-minute walk from the dormitory), we decided to watch the recital.

When we got there, there was lantern exhibition at the same place. Hikari was more interested in watching the lantern, than watching the recital. These are the lanterns:

I tried to take a more dramatic picture here, but I guessed I should've studied more :)

But this one looks like our solar system, don't you think? Ha-ha!

We also took pictures of the other displays: bamboo lamps and glass lamps.

Fujiyama in clouds

Watching the top of Mount Fuji from Hakone area was still breathtaking. Although it was rainy and cloudy, the sight of it blanked our mind for a few minutes. So, THAT's MOUNT FUJI!

Paddy

Early summer in Honjo (2006). This is a view you can see from Honjo-Waseda Shinkansen Station.
To tell you the truth, Indonesia has more beautiful rice fields. Somehow, they are now more difficult to find...

Butterfly in Early Summer

Honjo, Summer 2006.

I took these pictures along the way back to the dormitory -which was through a small road between paddy fields and hills.

Live Bright

It's raining still outside. Been like this for three days now. This is something that can cheer me up a bit. I took this photo in Honjo, outside a book store. I struggled with the flower, the wind, and the passerby who thought I was either insane or silly.

Snow to Memorize

It is raining hard outside. It has been raining since last night, and hasn't stopped. At a time like this, I miss Honjo the most. Especially the rain in Honjo forest.

This month is still winter time in Honjo. Snow rarely falls in Honjo, but when it falls, it is beautiful.

This picture was taken right after snow fell in the morning. This was at the dormitory compound. Actually, I have posted this picture here before. But, whenever I miss Honjo, I always remember this picture. This picture is my most favorite.

So, for the second time, enjoy!

My Favorite. Always.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Roses are great
I always love you...

Rose is my favorite flower. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to grow one when I am (and was) in Jakarta. Honjo, on the other hand, is blessed with soil suitable to grow roses. The roses in Honjo are thick, big, and durable. I heard that it is also the same in other parts of Japan as well.


The picture of the pink rose above was taken when I went to Hakone, Japan.

Bees

I was a bit shaky when I took this picture. Afraid that it would notice me and then... *yikes!*
