Photographs from a small group of islands
How true it is I don’t know, but it’s often said that a bamboo forest is the safest place to be in an earthquake. Something to do with the tangle of roots perhaps.
Unfortunately the one pictured above is a good two hours from my apartment, meaning that cowering under a worryingly weedy table will have to remain my meagre method of defence.
Here’s a rare bit of beauty on Tokyo Times. And probably for the first time, one that doesn’t come dressed in a bikini.
I think it’s a lily.
In a break from the usual lowbrow stories and occasional images of bikini clad beauties, here’s a picture of a pretty little shrine surrounded by the divergent colours of autumn.
The usual mindless fare of miscreants and the maladjusted will happily return tomorrow.
