Sunset behind Mt. Fuji, Japan's tallest peak
Tokyo, Japan
Mon., Feb. 11, 2008
5:11 - 5:16 pm
(I am told this spectacle, known as "Diamond
Fuji,"
occurs between Oct. & Feb. each year.
When the suns sets into or rises out of the cone of the volcano,
the crown appears to emit rays, resembling a shimmering jewel.)
Some more stunning examples of "Diamond Fuji" are
here and
here.
This Google
map shows the best spots to view Diamond Fuji from the Lake
Yamanakako area.
Leaf mold? Yummy so much!
(Jackpot Oyster Bar,
Marunouchi Building,
near Tokyo Station)
Just when I thought I'd seen everything,
then there was this pig grazing along the banks of the Edo River in
Tokyo.

A Friend What good is life if you cannot share What fun would there be if no one could see So let us share our gladness and sorrow, Tell him of your care and woes, Listen to every word he may say, Offer your ears to hear his trouble, Tell him of the time you cried all night Could it be, he has seen those days God shows us to our friends with care, Let the Golden Rule be your guideline by Sandy Weaver |

After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf

Well, I guess that's all
for
now. Thanks for visiting.
I sincerely hope this web site has been a culturally rewarding
experience for
you (joke).
It's grown considerably since first being launched in Jan. '97,
and it is unlikely you will be able to see everything in only 1 visit.
So please bookmark this site and come back when you can stay longer.
Or as we say back in Texas,
"Y'all cum back now, ya heah?"
Happy surfing !!
And don't forget to drop
me a line if you have time.
If you have any comments, suggestions, complaints,
or would just like to yell at me,
you can send email here:
Congratulations!
You are person number
to visit this site so far today!
Ha Ha Ha !
The last time I fiddled with this site was April 27, 2011.
