Net Castle

Today’s photograph is of the net castle in Hakone Open-Air Museum mentioned in yesterday’s blog entry.

Hakone Open-Air Museum

On part of the Hakone Loop is the Hakone Open-Air Museum, a very cool attraction that has something for everyone. In the background of this picture you can see a building with the words “ネットのお城” on the side. In English this means “Net Castle.” Inside there are loads of nets, in something like an inverted castle formation, that kids climb, swing, and otherwise play on. I’ll show you a picture from the inside in tomorrow’s blog entry.

漫画人

I’m down to only about 15 more unread issues of Mangajin. I’ll be sad to finish them all, but I can’t very well bring them with me to Japan (now just four months away!).

Harajuku at night

I’m really looking forward to heading back to Japan with my new LX3. The wide angle and low-light image quality are so much better than my old camera. Images like the above should come out far more dazzling.

I took this in Harajuku (I think). I may have been in Shibuya by the time I took this. The two areas sort of combine and overlap at some point and that’s about where I was.
