Almost two years ago I got lost in a snowstorm in the wilds of Japan’s north island Hokkaido. At times I couldn’t tell which was sky and which was land, but after a while the clouds gave way to blue: time to get the Nikon out…

Slightly drunk, fooling around with the Nikon D7000 in my favourite Hiroshima café, and this was the result. Wish I could remember the name of the rather palatable wine in the glass…

I took this a couple of weeks ago in central Hiroshima: the glass façade of a posh clothing store, which, for no apparent reason, I jazzed up with a blue rinse…

I took this picture in an industrial estate in Hiroshima. As I descended from a pedestrian overpass, I noticed that the pavement had been freshly tarred, painted, and applied with yellow ridges for the visually impaired.
