Asama-yama

Mt. Asama, Japan

Notice the clouds. The ones on the left are cold; it's winter after all. The clouds emanating from the top of Asama are warm; steam, actually.
This is an active volcano (with a golf course at its base.)

For Memory's Sake

Here it is, again! Forever:

Interesting thing is that, as you reduce the image, the spirals disappear and the circles emerge. Try it. :)

Osaka-jo

 

Well, we were younger at the time.

Anyway, it was fun, and the food was good!

Across the Pond

This Hummer H3 was recently spotted, outside an art gallery, in London.

There should be no further discussion of the differences between them and us. :)

For those with Mailbox woes

New Years Feast 2011

There were quite a few people, and quite a few dishes. Unfortunately, I didn't count the dishes (but I'm checking with others.)(As always, click to expand)(And, lick your tongue)

 We did a trial run on Anniversary Tuesday, the 28th. That's the suckling pig above. Then, on to New Years Day. First, the table before the guests arrived:

And now, a sampling of the dishes available (including some left-over suckling pig)

 

May 2011 be happy, healthy, and prosperous.
