A thousand words?

There's a well-known saying that says a picture is worth a thousand words.

In blogging terms a thousand words is a pretty long post by most standards. A good number of my posts are several hundred words in length. I never focus on how long a post is, rather what it is I want to share or say. Sometimes though a picture is all you need. (Indeed, some blogs seem to comprise of picture posts only. Surely a photo-based website instead of a blogging platform is a more natural home for that kind of sharing?)

Anyhow, enough words for now. Over the coming weeks I'll be sharing some of my favourite photographs of Japan. They're not always technically the finest, more that they convey something special about Japan that means a lot to me. I hope you enjoy them. If you do, please post a comment to let me know. :-)

Temple garden, Sado-ga-shima, May 2012

Isolated Sado-ga-shima

Sado was a tad more isolated than I anticipated. So no internet in either of our hotels and left mobile back in Kobe, so couldn't update as much as intended. Rest assured though, I managed to drain two camera batteries in 3 days, so there's plenty of documentary evidence to post when I get the chance.
Only other techno glitch is that the adapters we packed don't work with my laptop (duh!). So posting (particularly photos) will be a tad limited for a little while. Still, the isolation in Sado was worth it. Way better than I anticipated and our first ryokan (hotel) was in the most idyllic setting. More to follow!
