time to move

2013-05-14T07:43:18Z

Time to move? This car was parked outside my apartment building. And that's where I live. That unit on the left side has been my home for four years. Early this year, I started planning on leaving Shikoku Island, Japan. I don't usually believe in signs but this is probably one. I guess it's time to pack, find a new home, and get the wheels turning and see what other amazing sites and experiences Japan has to offer.

They made the cut. :'(

Make the cut (idiom) - to succeed; to be chosen out of a field of candidates So the lumberjack told the trees, "You made the cut!" And all their hopes came falling down.

Lines Shadows Reflections In perfect order!

chained and spellbound

When something so beautiful is reflected in the water, it gets broken into fragments so it isn't too overwhelming or intimidating anymore. And because the pieces are so fascinating, we're willfully chained to them. It is an experience that is always surreal; spellbinding even. Or maybe it's just the way I see things. :D

Too impatient for still life...

sol and luna...

It is when the sun is all set for a brief goodbye and the moon rises to the occasion. Twilight is such a beautiful transition.

It is comforting to find a soft spot for rocks.

shocked!

I woke up at 5:30 after being freaked the hell out by my iPhone's scary emergency alarm system followed a split second later by the town's emergency warning for earthquakes. So the earthquake was a 3.0 but with those alarms it felt like Armageddon! It was that kind of warning sound that one hears in movies when something like an experiment lab is about to explode. Plus the town's warning message was completely hard to decode (and my Japanese ability went from five to zero). I had no idea what was going on. I thought I was going to have a heart attack! Not sure if such ominous warnings are helpful or just cause panic to a debilitating degree. Still pretty shaken by the entire crazy experience. Not a good morning Japan!
