Hokkaido 2010

I had just finished an assignment and with time on my hands. Time to travel with the Nikon D90.

Arrived earlier than the tour group and went out on our own. Sometimes, you never know what you will experience.

My kind of phone. Retro. Had to have this picture.

A bear waiting for his apple

My kind of bear. I threw him an apple. 

A rebel fortress in Hokkaido.

World Famous Hokkaido Night View. Now I have been to 2/3 Famous Night View. Left with the Rio one.

View at breakfast. And yes, it was after my morning onzen.

Year of the Rabbit. Hop your way to more food in the stomach!

Hong Kong 2010

A short trip that combined business and pleasure.Taken using the Sony compact camera with Carl Zeiss lens.

I read that the Ocean Park was a better choice than Disneyland. 

The first trip to the Panda enclosure drew a blank. So this will do.

I am sure that these young artists will go onto bigger things.

Waiting from the tram to Victoria Peak

No. There weren't any Pandas to the right. Just the night view. 

This is supposedly one of the world's best night view. 

In another era and in uniform, these 3 words would have other meanings.

Junk = Hong Kong. A must see sight and must take picture!

This last picture was in part inspired by a HK artist work at the Victoria Peak.

Taken on slide using an Olympus mju that was Made in Hong Kong back in the 1990s.

I brought that film camera along to let it "come home".
