quick pics

Random shots of Fujimi village.



Japanese brown hornets nest is considered good luck.  Rare for the Japanese to kill  insects. However, I'm allergic to stings, read good to have the telephoto lens along.





Fanchy scmancy supper last night at a upscale Swedish themed yuppie eatery. GREAT food, served in courses French style. Broiled scallop with cheeese was da bomb. Beef tongue,whitefish,plus numerous seafood delights followed by pear pie and 2 kinds of ice cream.

Fujimi shrine parade

Invited to join the Fujimi shrine parade enroute last Sunday.

What a trip, everyone drinks bier,slams sake and takes turns carrying the shrine to the graveyard.

Ha, donning a deadhead T shirt was a gas. 

Take note of the mountain ranges aka foothills of the Alps.
