I thought I'd post a few more of my Japan pics My uncle and I and our rickshaw driver in Tokyo, this was so weird the guy was really strong and like ran while carrying us on it and stuff. My cousin and our matching mouse ears from Disneyland (I think her army print ones are hideous!) Tokyo tower The view from Tokyo Tower ( a bit blurry because we were up so high that the tower was swaying slightly) A bamboo forest all lit up in this night time illumination festival in Kyoto which was really cool. A lantern from the illumination festival. All the lanterns in the distance are lighting up the path you are supposed to walk down. I really like this photo. Me outside the Golden Pavillion in Kyoto which is a really famous temple covered in gold leaf. Me in front of a famous floating tori on Miyajima Island which is supposed to be one of the best sites in Japan. It's just a ferry ride from Hiroshima. Me and a deer in Miyajima. The island is infested with them. I gotta go now bf here, more later

Thanks guys I'm gonna post a couple more: An action shot of sumos training at a sumo training place in Japan. The Children's Peace Monument. The A-Bomb Dome, a preserved building from the bombing on Hiroshima Steps preserved in the museum. The shadow is thought to be someone who was obliterated by the blast of the bomb. A memorial. The clock is the time of the blast, the rubble is from real bombed buildings and the water symbolises how thirsty the victims were from the radiation.

Dom, I love your photos! I think your lantern one is beautiful, too! Those pictures from Hiroshima make me feel a little ashamed for my country (I have very mixed feelings about that event) but I think it's great you got to see it. I like the ones of the Golden Pavillion and the floating thingy...Japanese architecture is so interesting. Glad you're having fun!

You all are so talented!! I especially LOVE the photo of the man in the Andes, Hanna. You captured him so beautifully. And Isa, the photo of the statues in perspective in front of the Eiffel Tower is fantastically gorgeous! OK. I'll try to post a few of my favs from our Italy trip....
