A day at the outskirt of Nara
A warm breezy Sunday of June 2005. With only a map in hand, I was traveling on foot in this little town in Nara. It was a quiet little town with plenty of green. No heavy traffic and the road of quite empty, maybe it was a Sunday. And the sun was kind and gentle to me.

Shrine in Nara 01： 飞鸟坐神社
It's been a year since my last update in this photo blog. Simply because I kept procrastinating the scanning of the photos.
You can easily find shrines or temples almost anywhere in Japan, even in a busy city like Tokyo or Osaka. And it's not uncommon to see people to stop by at a shrine on their way home to have a quick prayer.
This picture and the next few ones were taken in this temple,飞鸟坐神社, while I was in Nara, with my F80. I've forgotten its name in Japanese(Hiragana). ;P
In Japanese, if I guess correctly, shrine for Shinto is normal called "dera". For instance, Kyomizudera/Kiyomizudera, while they also have temples for Buddhism, which is called "ji", such as Todai-ji.

Japanese in Kilt
I met him when I was visiting the Osaka Castle大阪城(Ōsaka-jō). I've never seen anyone in kilt in real life. He's so far the first. And kilt is a Scottish cultural icon. Hope one day I'll have the chance to travel to Scotland.

The Devil Z
Yesterday, I was copying some photos from hubby's phone, and this Datsun 240Z' caught my attention. So I thouhgt: "Hey! these pictures are nice and why not..."
So I "kebas"(took) them from his memory card and post them here, with his permission of course.
The pictures were taken during last month MME(Merdeka Milleniem Endurance) at Sepang. He was helping out a friend's team during race as a pitch crew.
He saw the car during his break and quickly went snapped a few shots of the classic monster.
The same type of car is featured in Michiharu Kusunoki's Wangan Midnight, which has been made into anime recently. In the manga, the car is known as Devil Z.
