My Japan Series

heheapa · 4th April 2008

Having a free & easy trip to Japan end of this March. The trip is fun and memorable. I don't know japanese. So, you can imagine the scene that we communicate with our own language when asking for food & direction

Hirayu Onsen

A small town in Japan Alps National Park. It's well-known for its hot spring.
We departed from Kyoto -> Nagoya -> Takayama. The luggages were stored in locker found in Nagoya & Takayama train station. We just brought the necessaries and few clothes.

There is limited bus service to Hirayu Onsen from Takayama. It took us about an hour to reach the destination.

Scene along the trip:

Night shot of the hot spring resort (hand held with ISO 1600, 1/10s, f2.8, my hand was freezing

The font is from the Chinese True Type Font CD that bought about 8 years back.
The font seems still compatible with my current windows vista

It's a type of 草書.

Chinese painting isn't limited by the scene.
While my photo is still limited by scene. So, think still long way to learn
