Below are various images without any kind of direct order or direction. Just to enjoy and digest…

Evening in the Hokkaido mountains

Cloud kreeping over the mountain

Immersing it

The aftermath of a typhoon in an inland lake – even 2 days later the winds are still strong and the lake is boiling

Rice – the basis of Japan

Depending on the area you can have 2 harvests per year

This is already riper – when almost totally yellow it is harvested

Small mosses growing on wood creating a miniature forest

Hiking up the mountain with a field where quite for sure a volcanic hotspot developed and so the ground got too warm

No fire, just decay

And the smell of sulphur everywhere

The dragonfly loved Urzula’s skin

Hiking up a hill in the North of Honshu around Aomori. Beautiful nature, and almost no people (for Japan…)

A natural volcanic ravine

And some art from the hotel room…
