Happy New Year

Posted by tanabata (Saitama, Japan) on 1 January 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

Sorry I haven't been here much at all over the last month or so. Regular posting should resume in a few days.
In the meantime I wish you all the best for a very Happy New Year. Thank you to everyone who has visited and left comments since I joined the Aminus3 community in August. I look forward to sharing photos with all of you in 2009.

This photo was taken in January 2008 in Shirakawa-go, a traditional village and World Heritage Site in a mountainous region of Japan.

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I still have a lot to learn so I really appreciate all your comments and suggestions. It may take me a while but I will try my best to return the visit.
