All Pine

Toyama is surrounded by, what what they call here, the Japanese Alps. Most of the time you can't see them because it's raining, or more recently, snowing. Some days however the air is so clear that I am taken aback (aback I tell you) by the stupendousness of the sight. This photo (kindly stolen from my friend Bunny dayoldwasabi.blogspot.com) is from her apartment. I've tried to get good shots from mine but they never come out well. My view is FAR better than this one. And this is one rocks.
