Linda, I was a civilian working for the military. Japan is a photographers paradise. Here is one of my favorite photos I took at the Hokone National Park. I'm sure you will enjoy your visit.

What a great picture.  I'm amazed that I thought I knew every square inch of the islands, but have never been to this particular spot.

I used an HP945 (with it's built-in zoom lens). This was part of a series when I first started with digital photography.  I'm using a new camera now, Nikon D300, with a variety of lenses... love it! Thanks

Linda- I had to do a double take as I have almost the same photo, except the lighting on yours is different.  Nice place and so peaceful.

Kathy—Some of us are bound to have been at the same place, but in a different time. I'm fascinated by the differences as well as the similarities people have with one another.  It's a nice place to meditate.
