The view from my jogging track. 500m mark.

For some truly beautiful autumnal (Japanese) pictures, I recommend you head over to www.Bastish.net.

(If you’re squeamish you’d better not look at the ones of the calf being born).

Kevin and Tomoe are truly remarkable photographers, and they provide me with a great deal of inspiration. It’s not just their photography I’m taken by though – their way of life has me spellbound. I often find myself reading their tales of organic living whilst on the commute home from work – the contrast between the tubes that run below Tokyo and the beautiful scenery of the Japanese outback could not be greater.

Kevin and Tomoe also run One Life Japan, and I would encourage anyone coming to Japan for a holiday and looking for something a bit more ‘authentic’ to take a look at what they offer.

Hhm. I seem to be a bit obsessed with this pig. I just can’t help but post another shot of her.
