Bear with the Japan photos for now.
I still have a lot of material from Japan and it would be a pity to let it go to waste



Window reflections in Shinjuku are colorful

Name change (again)

Well I decided to change the name again for a few reasons such as.

1. I will be leaving Japan soon
2. I didnt really post a picture per day

The new name is '写reality (Sha-reality)' which comes from the Japanese word 写真 (shashin) which means 'photograph'

写 sha basically means 'photo'
and
真 shin is 'truth' or 'reality'

写 (sha) - copy, be photographed, describe
真 (shin) - 真 truth; reality; genuineness; seriousness; logical TRUE; printed style writing; star performer






I did some serious mountain climbing with my swedish daniel for the past few days.
We climbed many mountains on the central alps, highest of which was 駒ヶ根 (komagane) at 2956m

We climbed all of the mountains in this picture except the two leftmost ones, the third one from the left is komagane.
This was maybe around 2/3 of our trip so there were a few more mountains to climb ahead.

More mountain pictures later

Hypercooled






In Japan you might have some imaginative grave sites. Like this company grave site for apparently a company that specializes in some kind of rocket/space technology.
Getting a grave with the help of a company is actually a good idea since as I remember reading in wikipedia, Japan is the most expensive place in the world to get a burial.



It says 愛犬 dear dog, so I guess its the dear dog of the people resting in the grave



This grave site is for Nissan
