Great! What I really think might be a great idea is MORE pictures of buildings, sites, e.g. foreigners cemetary, the harbour....

Yokohama is a beautiful city, and needs to be shown to people. :-)

They are coming soon. I have been really busy recently but here are some Zoorasia pictures (http://www.deadhippo.com/photo_albums/zoo/zoorasia_photo_album.htm) ...getting closer. Also I have added a few Yokohama pictures to the header.

[pipokun]

How about taking photos of a lot of patient Japanese waiting for hours ahead firework fes? The coming Yokohama Firework Fes would be the best, I suppose.
I'm impatient, so I am the last person in your pictures. :)

Tchau

Actually I'm going to fireworks on the 31st in Sakuragicho, if thats the same one you are tlking about
ill be at an earlier festival too, but im working in the afternoon

[pipokun]

No, on July 17. You cannot find any good places at Yamashita koen park at 3 p.m. or later. Well, hanabi is just hanabi wherever you sit down and watch it.

And Osaka invasion to Yokohama!
The new Yoshimoto, an Osaka-based show-biz company, aquarium at the China Town would be nice for your photo site. It must be different, I don't say it'd be crappy, though. :)

good luck

[deadhippo]

hi thanks for the info about yoshimoto...i have to go to chinatown anyway
actually am going to the 17th aswell...with coworkers and we finish at 6:30
but dont think ill be shooting...proabably drinking

[deadhippo]

Well, I attended the fireworks after work and it was quite good
I wasn't all that close to them but still they were pretty cool
there were hordes of people, it reminded me o f the olympics in sydney
ill be attending the fireworks on july ist (its not on 31st as previously stated) in sakuragicho as well
ill proabably take photos then

[pipokun]

Here's another one.
KITTY EX.
SOGO Department Store, Yokohama
July 28-August 28
Y1,000
*If you but the ticket now, you get 200yen discount

No shooting is allowed there, but you may do it at a souvenir shop where you find outrageous price tags.

thanks and there will be some changes (but nothing too dramatic) and many additions
if you have any suggestions please feel free

[Pachipro]

Nice website. Love your pics! Especially the one with the ever present vending machine that seems to be situated in the middle of a forest in the middle of nowhere! Great! Like they say, one needn't look too far for a vending machine in Japan no matter where you are! :wave:

[deadhippo]

hey Pachipro
thanks, yep you never have to be thirsty in japan

[Apollo]

WOW!!

I must say that your website has improved deadhippo!!!

Great pictures, I looked at it last week!!

[Yokan]

As seen as I seen the word Hippo...:D:D I like the layout of that site. Very clear and easy to navigate. Did you take the photo's yourself?

Yokan.
:-)

[deadhippo]

Hi Yokan,
thanks for your comments,
to answer your question,　i did take the pictures and for those who are interested here is the much delayed secone part of the Sapporo Snow Festival (http://www.deadhippo.com/photo_albums/snow_festival_2/index.htm) photo album

[Elizabeth van Kampen]

Hi deadhippo,

I love your photo's from the Mount Fuji.
I have a picture of the Mount Fuji hanging in my hobby-room.
She has a special radiation, I would have loved climbing her if
I was still young enough.

unless you pushin over 50... i dont see why not. you can drive up to lvl 5 and after that is less then 1000M and the normal trip is 5 hours.

[DoctorP]

When I did my night climb there were many people over 50 climbing. A few pushing 70 I think!

[Carlson]

how is the night climb? i would like to try that so i can take pics in the morning

[DoctorP]

I prefered the night climb over the day trip. It gets really cold in the early morning though. We made it in only 3 hours, and slept on the top of the mountain waiting for the sunrise! Very beautiful sight indeed.

[deadhippo]

It was a nightmare for me, the night climb. It hardly stopped raining and it was very windy and cold of course. If I stopped moving I would start to get chills after about five minutes. I was quite prepared too, clothes-wise. Hiking boots, waterproof pants, several layers of sweaters, snowboard jacket, hat, gloves, scarf. Going down was pretty tiring too.

[deadhippo]

I have a added an e-card service (http://www.deadhippo.com/sendcard/) to the site. It will be expanded so please check back for newer e-cards.
