10.17.2006 - Hikone Castle

Well, here I am for another 30 minutes to give you some blog.

Right now the internet is very slow, so I might post some pictures, or I might talk a little about life in Japan. Let's see how things go...

Starting off is a photo of Hikone Castle!

It's been so long since I went here that I forgot what it was about! This is still old-camera photos, by the way. I will go back to Hikone Castle when the leaves start turning red to get a new set of pictures.

Anyway, the tour of the castle was pretty interesting. It's actually more than just that one building (Which is pretty small.) The castle grounds are quite large and are very impressive. Lots of high walls, tons of stairs, and stonework everywhere.

This is a shot of the garden outside the castle. I say garden, but it's actually just a big field with lots of rocks in it, monuments and things. I'm trying out a bit iof professional photo editing too. Maybe I can squeeze some life out of the old camera photos yet. :)

Some rapid-fire stuff before I go to bed:

Or not, since the internet is so slow now.

Oh well... Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to post some more.
