Tohoku Thoughts – Three Years after the Earthquake and Tsunami
— Tohoku People —
Kind and welcoming. Happy, cheerful, no-nonsense attitude. Hardworking, honest and good-hearted, shy at first then opening the world for you. More than anything else: Resilient and Tough.
— Memories —
Forests and the summer rain. Mountains, a glass of sake, Cicadas, fishing boats and oyster farms. Hot Springs, Herbs, Food from Sea and Land, Snow, Stories, Inspirations. Friends.
A few Tohoku memories and thoughts
Thank You for your hard work and spirit, allowing me to re-live my memories, enjoying your Tohoku every time I visit there.

Freezing Glow at the Coast
Posted on February 20, 2014
The coldest glow I ever experienced
A couple of days ago I took a quick ride to the nearby coast at Onset, MA. The day was just about to end and I thought I would not have enough light for any photos. Still wanted to look at the sea and listen to the waves for a while. When I arrived at the iced up beach I realized that the setting sun painted colorful reflections on the very calm sea. As it grew darker the reflections changed from a soft pink to a very strong dark red. This did not last very long and right after the last piece of red vanished it got very dark and super cold. My fingers were numb despite some great wool gloves and I carefully moved the tripod with the camera back to the car across the frozen beach.

Snowy Day in Massachusetts, again
Posted on February 18, 2014
Looks like these buses are looking forward to spring
These school buses reminded me about a group of people lined up for a long time waiting for the moment when spring finally makes an appearance on the horizon. Looking at this photo it seems as if they are actually having a conversation about moving to Florida.
This barn located near Franklin, Ma looks like it escape from a fairy tale book
This red barn near Franklin, Ma cannot be overseen, especially with the white and black colors of the forest as a background. The snow on the ground is also untouched. It sits there almost like a candy house. When I attempted to drive past this place it seemed as if the car stopped almost by itself indicating that the ride will continue only with a photo in the box. I could not argue with this.

Blizzard Commute

Franklin Line T Commuter Train becoming visible through the heavy blizzard snow
Took these photos of the Franklin Line T commuter train while cross-country skiing through a nearby forest during the last blizzard. It was amazing to still see the trains in operation on this day despite the large amount of snow and ice. Sometimes I wonder what people inside might think or do when looking out of their windows into a swirling cloud of white snow inside this nicely heated train.
I am very glad that my camera equipment held up. Every time I venture out into such weather I am learning something new about how to best hide the camera and lens from the elements.

Winter Night View of Manhattan

Took this photo on my way home from New Jersey. It was freezing cold, however I enjoyed looking at the City from Edgewater, NJ.
