My fair city: The third Monday of July (which was today) is a national holiday in Japan, called Marine Day (“Umi no Hi”). It was made a national holiday in 1996 as a day to give thanks to the ocean and the many resources that it provides Japan, being an island nation. I had no plans today, so after running some errands and cleaning house a bit, I decided to take a stroll down to the beach. It was a beautiful day and there were several families there taking a swim in the sea or fishing or just hangin out. I took this picture from the fishing pier looking back towards Kurobe (stitched together with iphone app ‘Pano’). Click through or click here to see the full-size pic.

About Me
My name is Lawrence Denes.After spending 5 years studying Japanese language, culture, literature, and history in St. Louis and Kyoto, I now live in Japan, in a town that most Japanese people have never even heard of, lost amid the rice fields and vending machines.
