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If you want nice photos without people in the way, the advice to "get there early" is out of date as even at 7am there's already a growing number of people.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.⠀

Anyone know these cute cosplayers from SMASH 2024?

Anyone know these cute cosplayers from SMASH 2024?

I was gratified to have people approach me and tell me they'd been looking for me, and I appreciated all the little gifts I was given. Thanks very much :)

I made less than 5 children scream or cry in terror.

Photo by @RunnyEggGuy2 who has been taking my photos at conventions since 2017.

Sorry for the radio silence. There are reasons :)

I know. I went AWOL. Sorry. Life and brain and stuff.

But I will be at SMASH! this weekend! I would say "SEE you there" but as No Face from Spirited Away, it's hard to see anything that isn't right in front of me ;) Say hi if you see me :)

Feeling the anticipation for SMASH! 2024 :D

@yuno_slp Tengen Uzui from Demon Slayer at SMASH! 2023.

Incidentally I also made these Nichirin swords for them ;) It was interesting inc learning how to make a Japanese wrap for the handles.

My prop making account is @fauxforgeprops. I will make more of these swords in the future but the blades will be made from stiff Ultra HD foam instead of 3D printed. So get in touch if you'd like a set.

Or you can 3D print your own. The 3D files for the swords: Beardless Props on Etsy
