Some more monkeys padding about in Jigokudani Monkey Park, Nagano prefecture.
Day 354 – dive bomb
Day 174 on this blog featured a lake local to where I live in Japan, famous as the home to hundreds of Hawks. They spend their days swooping in and about, keeping an eagle eye out for any visitors with a bag full of tasty bread.
The following couple of photographs are a from the same lake, the Hawks skimming the water as the swoop on and down.
Day 353 – final visit
As this blog nears its end, this is the first goodbye to a place that has featured a fair few times. The last shots from what became my ‘go to’ temple when I felt like grabbing my camera and venturing out to take a few photographs.
Below, I have also included a little gallery of other shots I took at this temple.
