 The bus stop on Nikko Kaido, with a small rice field being harvested.
This is the only cropped photo (left and top). I needed to get a shot in before the bus came, and this is it. I would have liked to have been closer...

The girl is holding a parasol, not an umbrella; it's so she has a little shade from the sun (though it was cloudy) and she didn't want to get any sunburn.

This is a nicely composed shot eventhough you were rushed by the bus. You did a great job capturing everyday life for us to see where you live.

Very nice candid moment. The colorful banners behind really liven this photo.

This is a fun picture. There are so many things to look at. It looks like the guys on the ends are wearing the same hat. Was it sunny or raining. I'm just laughing that there is only one couple using an umbrella.

Love the colors and human interest in this shot - complete down to the GAP bag. BlueZamia - if you want to see umbrellas, go to Seattle, Washington, USA - a black umbrella is standard business dress downtown from Sept through May. They sometimes even travel in flocks!

A fantastic scene, local people going about their business. What appears mundane and ordinary at first, soon draws you in to the picture as you try to imagine where they are going? Is the man in the hat talkig to the two girls? Or is the older lady calling to him, making him turn to face her? And all the time the farmer continues harvesting. Great picture!

I like the isolated groups of people being...isolated (I guess). Staying within their little groups. I thinks Americans don't use umbrellas enough and someone should start a campaign to fix this great lack. Nice shot. I'm always happy to find I have been thoroughly drawn into another world.

I like this one the best. I love the fact the teenagers look the same no matter where you are! I love the rice field in such a unexpected place!
