Matsushima Words of Wisdom

This is important, but heading inland would have been a wiser choice.

Ksitigarbha

This statue is in Matushima in front of Zuiganji.

Into the Light

To go into the light or to stay? This lady was carrying some sort of medium format camera. It was pretty cool.

Into the Trees

Sometimes I wish I had a right-angle finder. Taking shots near the ground is tough when you can't see what you are focusing on.

Red Umbrella

I took this in Matsushima. I was looking back at the shots I had using Picasa, and tried one of its filters for the first time.
