Welcome to my photos..

This is my solution to getting a bunch of my pictures online for free.... I have a few from Japan up and if you keep going to the bottom there are a couple guelph ones and some from Korea. As the internet at my parents house is painfully slow ( i think it is some sort of dial up) the uploading is slow so keep checking back if you want to see some more of japan and also malaysia, hong kong and singapore...for the first half of japan and thailand you will need to be subjected to my photo albums as my digital camera was obtained half way through Japan. I held out as long as I could but after 3 dyas of lugging my 5 pound camera ( i swear it is the worlds heaviest point and shoot) around nagasaki I gave in. wait....if you have read the first post i promised i wouldnt use this as a blog...crap and now i ve just written a paragraph...oh well on to the pictures

spring and winter in Japan




The pictures of the cherry blossoms were taken right by my house in Kanoya, the volcano is sakurajima and you park at the base of it to take the ferry over to the city. It looks lovely in all seasons but especially so with snow on top

Japan, rather beautiful isn't it?

Well this may look like a blog but it is actually just an attempt to get my pictures online...so I will try to just stick to writing about the photos unless the temptation to jump on the bandwagon gets too great
