I intended to use my tripod a lot this past summer in Japan and Korea. However, it was a cheap tripod and a piece broke off in my luggage on the way over. I couldn’t fix it and ended up leaving it in Korea. I did still use it a few times as it still worked if I was very careful. Today’s photo was one such occasion. This image was a 30-second exposure.

My random desktop image of the day is a photo I did not take. Ryan took this when he was being toured around by Maki San. Does anyone know where this is? The location is probably within 100 kilometers of Kanazawa if that helps.
