David: The Return to Sapporo
http://davidvso.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-return-to-sapporo.html
An pictorial account of activities and thoughts of David Whitworth, a returned VSO volunteer. Friday, August 07, 2015. The Return to Sapporo. Not a bullet, just a four coach local train to Sapporo, a journey of six hours through beautiful countryside. A unique feature of this train was the swiveling seats. When the train has to reverse its direction of travel, the seats are turned around to face the other way. This happened once at a switchback on the track on our way to Sapporo. Back to tram spotting,.

David: Lake Mashu
http://davidvso.blogspot.com/2015/07/lake-mashu.html
An pictorial account of activities and thoughts of David Whitworth, a returned VSO volunteer. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. The caldera is one of the deepest in Japan at 211m and with one of the clearest waters, giving the surface a very blue sheen. Turn round and refocus. The clouds really add to the beauty of this place, even if the mist messes with your photograph's clarity. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Gek Second Solo Exhibition.

David: Mount Asahidake - Snow and Steam
http://davidvso.blogspot.com/2015/07/mount-asahidake-snow-and-steam.html
An pictorial account of activities and thoughts of David Whitworth, a returned VSO volunteer. Friday, July 24, 2015. Mount Asahidake - Snow and Steam. The cable car takes you up to just above the tree line. It is cold up here, cold enough for there to be snow in the hollows all year round. Gek was suitably attired complete with walking boots, unlike the rest of us. I had to buy a plastic mac at the ground station to guard against the chilling wind. Time for a picnic with hot coffee as the mist closes in.
