Part one of my photos from our three days in Tottori is sorted out. It's an interesting little corner of Japan.

east meets kitch

It's an odd mix of pics, this. Plenty from the sand dunes, mostly because I liked too many of them to edit properly. Also, a fair number of photos from an abandoned mining operation, and others from a high mountain village of wood-cutters. And some with kids and toys thrown into the mix as well.

Enjoy.

rand()m quote

On the endless saga of Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto; "It shouldn't have had to come to this. I'm so tired of getting up every morning and wondering, 'What will it be today?' I'm so tired of giving the benefit of the doubt again and again, only to be let down again and again.... Somewhere a responsible adult has to appear, draw a bright moral line, tell the truth and say unequivocally what won't be tolerated. Somebody has to do the right thing."
