A weekend at IZU, the beautiful coast south of Tokyo. Unfortunately the weather is always a little bit hazy during the summer in Japan, especially before an expected taifun, like on the last weekend.

For the music, I choose one of my favorite songs, written and performed by my friend AO, live in Kichijoji / Tokyo ( aosound.net ) and added some English subtitles.

All shots taken with a JVC-HD3, edited on a MAC with iMovie 08.

Hope, everybody will enjoy it.

    HEY! Nice work James. VERY nice work indeed. You've got a great eye for a good shot, the eye of an artist!

    Thanks Wayne, for your kindness !!! Actually IZU is a place, where you should go by car. I didn't have one and every 2 minutes I thought: "Hey, busdriver, you should stop HERE !!!" ... hahaha ...

    OH NO!! the frustration of all those shots you must have missed! Next time, hire a car dude! Still, you made a damn fine job of it, letting the landscape speak for itself in the framing and the timing. Nice.

    Nice combination of Izu and music (perhaps german?) And as everyone else says, the way you take the images is beautiful. It's just like photographies.

    Domo arigato gozaimashita !!! I am happy to live in Japan and I like to show people all over the world, how beautiful is this country. Soshite ... you are right, it is german. How does this language sound to you ?
