Thank you Alan. I dragged a tripod all the way to Japan and this is the first shot in almost three weeks of shooting where I've used it!!

25) Kyushu Part 2
Well, tomorrow we pack our bags early and start the long trek back to the UK. Flight from Kumomoto to Tokyo, then from Tokyo to Paris and finally from Paris to Birmingham. I'm not relishing the prospect!!
But I have a few last shots from Kyushu to share with you all.
Kyushu is home to rice farming, so here is a shot of some rice terraces.

This is the Unoko falls. Getting to it involved navigating some absolutely amazing roads - narrow, steep, very windy with endless hairpin bends, and sometimes a little bit alarming!

This was one of the (very much) better roads. I couldn't resist this shot - leading lines on steroids !!

And a panorama to give you a taste of the scenery.

This is taken from a very cute little cafe called Gypsy's Mile and is a view of Mount Taisen.

The cafe BTW was wonderful and run by lovely people. Here's a quick shot of it.
The gorge shots in the previous post of from the TakaChiho Gorge. The whole gorge is quite something with a number of very impressive views.

And finally, a shot from Beppu. This place is home to several hot springs. To be honest, it's badly over-commercialised, as this shot illustrates - but it's sort of a fun place to experience if you take a certain anthropological view to it all!!
Well, that's it. Hope you enjoyed the photos and that I have perhaps given you a little motivation to try a visit there too. The Japanese people are wonderfully welcoming and there is a lot to see and do in Japan, so I can recommend it!
