A Winter Wonderland! And a light on in the home.
My camera has a way of making these moutains seem a bit smaller than they were in real life. (Maybe you should come and see for yourself!; and there are more pictures on my picasa page)
In this land of varying contrasts, the weather is certainly one area which gets attention. Sunny southern island(s)including Okinawa and Iwo Jima; freezing tundra of Hokkaido; and here I am in the "middle" - right on the coast, close to the mountains. Ahhh, creation. What a beautiful testimony to our Creator. Fortunately, I returned "home" to the colder temperatures, somewhat snowy and frigid Niigata after a few great days around the Tokyo area (actually, about an hour train ride outside of the capital city). Here in Niigata it is city and urban, but I was taken out to the "countryside" and into area that is basically the foothills leading into the ranges which run down the center of the island. I will certainly suggest you go to my Picasa Pics if you would like to see more!
The Winter Wonderland from which I welcomed the New Year with a church family who let me visit for a few days. Praise be to God for our Brothers and Sisters who openly share their homes, lives, and FOOD!
Oh Yea! Reindeer!
Santa was happy to know they have some "young ones" in training!
