Fly Me To The Moon

Buggered if I know what to write for this entry.

Got to head out to a farm near New Tokyo International Airport, better known as Narita Airport, and was fortunate enough to see a number of planes passing by the moon on a glorious winter afternoon.

Not really a plane fancier, but felt the images were quite nice with the moon as a backdrop.

The ANA plane in the photo had a special livery that made it look like a turtle.

A glorious sunset topped off the day.

Cop A Gander At These Rippers Too...

    Lest We Forget Japan’s Role in Creating the ANZAC legend

    ANZAC Day, April 25, has become an almost holy day on the Australian calendar in the early 21st century as the country celebrates the efforts and sacrifices of its military personnel since it first went to war as a nation at Gallipoli in 1915, but few remember Japan was an ally that played a vital role in creating the ANZAC legend. 　21世紀初期現在、ANZAC Day（4月25日）がオーストラリアでは、1915年に国として初めて戦争を体験したガリポリをはじめ復員兵などの努力や犠牲を称える聖なる日のような存在となっているが、そのＡＮＺＡＣ伝説づくりに味方としての日本の大きな貢献がほとんど知られていないのだ。

    More Shots Snapped During a Lunchtime Stroll Late autumn/early winter can be a wonderful time in Japan. The typhoons of the early to mid-autumn are gone and the rain stays away for most of the time until June of the following year. (Leaving aside the fact that October and late November were wet and sodden this year). The bitter cold of winter doesn’t really show itself all day until after the new year, and days are generally bright and sunny. Added to that, the fiery reds and yellows of autumnal leaves can create some gorgeous scenes, even in central Tokyo. Some shots Kanageroo snapped during a lunchtime stroll are here…

  • Getting Help

    Kangaeroo needs help. Unfortunately, the kind of help that’s needed is an inside job so, despite being surrounded by helpful and supportive people, the only answer is to keep plugging away. Bleak, wet, drizzly weather is not helping the situation, but it’s something that can’t be controlled. Acceptance is the key. Kangaeroo spent 13 months in a psychiatric institution, received weekly treatment there for a further five years and continues to undergo periodic check-ups and will probably do so until the end of days, if lucky enough. Kangaeroo is a multiple suicide failure and recovering drug and alcohol addict. So far, clean and sober for over 11 years. The garden…

  • Goings On

    It’s been a strange old start to the year, really, mainly because Kangaeroo is strange and old. Tokyo has been experiencing a mild winter. So far there has been no snow and daytime temperatures have been closer to what you’d expect in March than the opening month of the year. That’s been perfect for walking, which allowed for the capture of the shots in this post. Kangaeroo was helped deeply by being able to use cameras and photography to seek out the beautiful things around us. Though he didn’t really do a great job of it, sometimes he would snare a good shot. But all good things come to pass…
