Naha, 2004

I joined Alan, Tom, and Daral on a trip to Naha, Okinawa, July 6-15, 2004. This was my 14th trip to Japan and the last shot entirely with a point-and-shoot digital camera. During the weekend we stayed at a resort hotel on the northern tip of the island. This was the first time I started documenting Japan trips with my camera, occasionally photographing meals too. This would be the team's last trip until January, 2008.

A little bit of civilization in the flatest part of the valley. I wish I had noted where we were on the "follow the plane" map. I wonder if there's a Starbucks down there?

This is a somewhat severe amount of Curves adjustment to bring out the snakes.
For about 2 months of the year, Mt. Fuji is snowless and you may hike to the top. I haven't done this yet.
