nagasaki is beautiful

Nagasaki, 2024.09.28

I decided last night that I would run off to Nagasaki. I hadn't been to the city or prefecture before, and I've long since wanted to for a variety of reasons: I'm trying to get to all the prefectures, eventually; Nagasaki is a particularly beautiful place, being hilly without being a desolate mess; and it has the famous gunkanjima ruins.

The first thing I did upon arrival was look up somewhere that would give me a view of the city. The second thing I did was remember that I didn't bring my camera's spare battery for this trip, so I had to be careful with my use of my actual camera. So I started using my Googly Phone while in the city, sadly.

So this is Nagasaki
