  The first photo in this row contrasts a spring and fall shot, taken from about the same place, of Okutama Lake. The 2nd shot is a nice fall shot of Pampas Grass with a nice fall background, and the 3rd shot is the same area, but concentrating on the distance rather than the close stuff.

  The first shot shows a pretty scene along the Tama River walking back to Okutama Station from Okutama Lake, about a 3 hour walk, and it was pitch dark by the time we got to the station. Even this shot was late enough in the evening so that I had to push the digital camera to an ASA setting of 400, which is why the photo shows so much graininess. The 2nd photo is my DVD collection as of Aug 20, 2004 - this photo is no longer current! By the way, here is a link to my entire DVD collection if you're asking yourself what might be good to rent for the weekend! Click Here. The DVD's will be sorted by date purchased.
