Evening Izumi Sky

This is the first picture I took with the Tokina 11-16 2.8.

Through the Trees

The last picture in the Hachiman series. Looking south in between the bell and a small building.

Pyre and Shrine

This whole series of pictures turned out pretty soft. I guess I should have bumped up the ISO a little more and pushed up the aperture. Live and learn.

The Gong

The bell was silent this day.

Small Building at Small Hachiman

I like how the cloth hanging down adds a little color to an otherwise drab picture.

Pyre

In preparation for Dontosai, the bonfire is set. I didn't actually go to the festival this year. I wish I had.

Black and White Shrine

Kind of creepy.

Sendai from Afar

Another shot from the mountain.

Dome

Overlooking the dome. Is that the Pacific?

Izumigatake from Nenoshiroichi

Taken while exploring the neighborhood.
