Spring Time In Japan (not 56k friendly!)

[Demon Dave]

Well, spring is here and since a few people have asked what Yamanashi is like (compared to the big cities) I thought I'd give you all an idea of what the view is like from my back yard...well, 2 minutes drive down the road, anways!

Jus: The weekend rain wasn't very helpful was it, but today was beautiful only took some around my area under the shinkansen line.

hehehe :)

I've been waiting all year to get the skyline infront of some sakura for a photoshoot I thought I might have to miss out this year, what with work, bad weather, a baby and then having a coil pack fail and the car off the road for a couple of days while I waited for it to be replaced

But, managed to get a few photos eventually...well, I say a few...about 1.5 GB worth! :D

Edit: you can see a couple more on my site, here

Dave: Japan do have some very very nice places for car pics, will have to get all our cars out there when we come over in May. Still working out an exact date at the moment.

[Demon Dave]

Troy, sounds cool. There's plenty of cool places (nature wise!) for photo shoots in Yamanashi/Nagano/Shizuoka.

Hey Andrew, some pics from around your way wouldn't go astray...

Dave: very stylistic mate... well done!

I may have to step up to the challenge and get some pics of some of the local Perth (West Aust.) Skylines in the same manner while I'm there next week.

Ooh, that second one is great! There was this awesome pic in last year's D1 Grand Prix yearbook of Nomuken's R34 drifting in front of sakura blossoms...funny how something that seems like it belongs on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy can be so cool.

Wabi sabi ne.
