Someone stole my Facebook password

Posted on September 7, 2014 by Michael

I was locked out of my Facebook today because apparently someone tried to log into my Facebook from Japan. Luckily Facebook security settings blocks people from logging in from strange locations and sometimes even unrecognised devices. So I ran through the process that Facebook put in front of me; Continue reading Someone stole my Facebook password→

A stone torii gate on Miyajima Island. I liked how it looked against the blue sky :)

Taken in Autumn 2019. Such a great time of year to visit Japan. Beautiful weather - warm days, cool nights, and red and yellow maple leaves.

Also, you HAVE to try the momiji "croissant" at Miyajima. It looks like a pastry that's been put in a maple leaf shaped hot press. I went back another 2 times - I would have gone back again but by late afternoon they'd closed.

I had a lot of fun exploring the Blue Mountains in 2019. The landscapes are so different to what I am used to (the rolling hills and rainforested mountains of the Mid North Coast).

I took a wrong turn this day. It was supposed to be a sedate 1.5 hour trip but was a 5+ hour trek all the way down to the bottom, along the bottom, and then back up. It was a good hike :) Since it was so long, I forget where this is ;) Somewhere along the Wentworth Pass walking track.

A view of Nagoya Castle, Japan :)

Nagoya Castle was constructed in 1612 and was unfortunately destroyed during World War II. It was restored in 1959.

Taken at the Fushimi Inari Taisha shrine in Kyoto

Taken at the Fushimi Inari Taisha shrine in Kyoto in 2019. Possibly a section not often visited, being at the far back corner of what appeared to be a shady moss covered graveyard.⠀
⠀
I heard the melodious sound of falling water so I followed it to the source - and found a plastic bucket of water. The sound of the water hitting the bucket was amplifying the sound to make it nicer ;)⠀
⠀
If you want nice photos without people in the way, the advice to "get there early" is out of date as even at 7am there's already a growing number of people. So I say "get there earlier". The further along you walk, the less people you will find, as people will show up to get their iconic tourist photo and then head back down the hill. So even after 7am you'll still be able to get good photos without a high chance of someone being in the way.⠀

A photo of one of the cannons at Fort Scratchley in Newcastle, Australia. I took it in 2010 before the cannons got a fresh coat of paint and canvas wraps around the tips. I think the old faded look has more character.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
In 1910 the two 6 inch Mk VII guns were installed. They were retired in 1962 but restored in 1992. They are fired on special occasions such as ANZAC Day.⠀They were the only cannons in Australia to return fire, when a Japanese submarine started launching shells into Newcastle in an attempt to destroy the ship building yards. They failed. The cannons also failed to hit the submarine ;)⠀

Overlooking the Three Sisters.

Around this time last year I was tramping around the Blue Mountains. A great time of year to go. Weather was great and aside from a spot here and there, not too hot.⠀
⠀
I hiked from the top of the mountain down to the bottom and then back up again. So many stairs and ladders ;)⠀

One of the gates at Miyajima Island. If you ever get to visit here, find the place that sells the momiji "croissants"; they were so good I went there 3 times! Catching the boat back to the main land at dusk was also a nice experience.⠀

My first test of night sky photography. I used the Sony RX100 MK1 compact with surprisingly good results - if you don't try to zoom in or crop the image 😂

Autumn in Japan. Beautiful weather, less tourists, beautiful colours. Do you prefer a different time of year to visit Japan?⠀
⠀
Yep, more leaves ;) the autumn colours of Japan are amazing and I took more photos of the leaves and trees than any other thing during my trip in November 2019 ;)⠀
⠀
This photo was taken in the Arashiyama area of Kyoto. Swipe to see a cute little radio controlled boat that was cruising around the river.⠀

See you at SMASH! Or, I'll try to ;)

WATCH OUT FOR TICKET SCAMMERS online. Most sellers on the SMASH Facebook Event, Page and Group are scammers. If they are unwilling to take phone calls, and demand PayPal Friends and Family (no protection) - they're scammers.

Have fun, and don't forget to hydrate and deodorise ;)

@smashcon 2025 is fast approaching! I hope to see you there - or I hope you see me because I won't be able to see very well at all, dressed again as No Face from Spirited Away. Come get some gold candy. Promise you will not get eaten.

WATCH OUT FOR SCAMMERS. There's a lot of scam bots on the SMASH Facebook Event. In fact most ticket sellers ARE scammers. If they are unwilling to meet or take phone calls, and demand PayPal Friends and Family (no protection) instead of PayPal Products and Services (protection) then they're scammers.
