Stone Lantern With Snow On Top
I call this a "Chicken Cordon Bleu" shot - take something cool and put in in the foreground (but not in the center) and then add something else cool and use it to fill the background. If you don't like the chicken, maybe you will like the ham. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > A Fourth Trip to Japan > Mt Koya > Stone Lantern With Snow On Top

Our Ryokan With Fresh Snow
The next morning we came out to a fresh coat of snow. Today was our train day so I couldn't do much with it. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > A Fourth Trip to Japan > Gifu > Our Ryokan With Fresh Snow

Circular Rice Paddy
The circular pattern meant that this rice was destined for offering to the deities. Only clean water was put into this field and fertilization was limited. It's nice to see agriculture occurring in a museum. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > A Fourth Trip to Japan > Gifu > Circular Rice Paddy

Homes Beside Hillside
If it was up to me, I would rather live next to the hill rather than the center of town. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > A Fourth Trip to Japan > Gifu > Homes Beside Hillside

Barn Out In Fields
The fields have been terraced so they can be flooded to grow rice. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > A Fourth Trip to Japan > Gifu > Barn Out In Fields

Gassho Homes With Mountains
I wonder if they would normally leave their fields flooded in the winter. Some fields had fish in them, but not all. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > A Fourth Trip to Japan > Gifu > Gassho Homes With Mountains

Drinks Igloo
In this igloo was a bar selling local sake - 100 yen a drink. Remember Japan has a near zero policy for drinking and driving - one drink is enough to put you over the line. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > A Fourth Trip to Japan > Gifu > Drinks Igloo

BBQ In An Igloo
This is a charcoal BBQ - common in Japan. I was surprised that it wouldn't cause problems for the big pile of snow we were in. People: Helen
