Due to weather and also the fact that Kazuya worked every weekend this month, there were no mountain outings at all. There are some cake shop pictures and some work pictures this month and that's all. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

Kazuya went to a gourmet cake shop on July 3rd and took some pictures of the cakes. Amazing, eh!

These 3 pictures are all the same cake - from close, from further away and then 1/2 eaten - so that you can see the inside of the cake.

The first picture is a panorama of 2 shots taken from our office window at Haneda Airport. Ha, I am working for ANA (All Nippon Airways), but our office looks out on the JAL (Japan Airlines) side of the building. We look out on Runway 34L.
The 2nd shot is from our office doorway looking to the left down the endless hallway and the 3rd shot is from the same spot looking to the right down the endless hallway! Someday I need to pace that hallway and determine how long it actually is, I estimate 1/4 mile.

The first shot here is a Japan Airlines Boeing 777 being towed somewhere - again, from our office window. The 2nd shot is a panorama of 2 JAL, Tamagochi logo, Boeing 777's. The 3rd shot is a Jeppesen Manual page showing the details of Haneda Airport along with an arrow showing that our office is between gates (spots) 14 and 15.

Here are 2 movies taken from our office window. The first one (4.6 Megabytes) is an ANA Boeing 747 taking off and the second one (3.8 Megabytes) is a JAL Boeing 747 landing on a very wet runway. Try to notice the spray of water when the thrusters are reversed.

The first shot here is taken inside of our office at Haneda Airport. Obviously it is stitched together and doesn't look very good at the ceiling level. My desk is the one right in front of the camera - as you can see, we still don't have computers or phones on the foreigners' desks.
The 2nd shot is another panorama - a Japan Airlines Samurai Blue Boeing 777 - taken from our office window. The 3rd shot shows a Boeing 747 landing just before sunset, also from our office window.

I put together another collage of Violets. These are all violets which we have growing on our porch, although all of the individual photos were taken in the wild. The image here is 198 KB or if you don't mind waiting a bit longer,
you can click HERE for a 899 KB JPG file, which is 2,000 x 1,506 pixels and will open in a new window.

Well, sitting at home on the weekend watching it rain and I decided to play around with this image. It's a picture taken from/with the Mars Opportunity River in - when - 2003, or somewhere thereabouts. I'll bet you didn't know that I went to Mars as a stowaway on that mission, did you?
