The Golden Hook Japan

The Hook is another interesting kanji character in calligraphy form found often around temples and shrines in Japan. I like the color contrast and scratchy feel of the photo.

Sunflower Sun Japan

Sunflower Sun shows how big these guys can get. They are massive at times. I wanted to show more of the sunflower here, but honestly the background left a lot to be desired. Instead I elected to get down low and shoot at an angle to give add dimension and size. The petals are aging as you can see, but the central part of the sunflower is amazing. The detail is just astonishing to look at on these sunflowers.

The Great Zenkoji Template Gateway in Nagano City, Japan. The size of this gateway is awesome. It is also newly rebuilt and finished just last winter. You can enter the gateway and take stairs to the top for a birds eye view of the Zenkoji Temple grounds. It’s quite a site and a must see if you visit Nagano city. This week during Obon week there are many events and festivals in the area. This video was taken with the Creative Vado HD pocket camcorder. Video by Jim Atwood Photography at http://jimatwood.net.

Vanquish – Took lots of shots of this Ferris Wheel in Nagoya Sakae city. It’s really cool. I didn’t go on it, but I sure had fun shooting shots of it.

A very old Zenkoji Bridge in Nagano Japan still stands with peeled paint. The Japanese writing on the right is "Zenkoji".

Snack Bars R Us Japan

Jim Atwood — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 08:31:01 +0000

Well I’m not necessarily talking about bars where you eat chips and candybars, but close. These are signs common to almost every city in Japan. Each one displays the name to a snack bar that serves drinks and small snack food. In addition and perhaps more important you they also provide entertainment at an expense of course. The entertainment includes karaoke, talking with hostess gals, games, and other things. Some are expensive and others are reasonbly priced.
