TimeOut

Helen, thank you very much for your....

 

lovely description for the photos. I like the first one..."The carpet of flowers leading to the city with green life in the middle of the city."

About that colorful boat image, it's the "high-speed boat" commuting between Tokyo and its small islands located at the south of Tokyo in the Pacific Ocean. Basically, the Tokyo Metropolitan is officially responsible for a few islands located like 150-1000 km away. Most of these islands are still living with active volcanoes. I haven't been to any so far but I have made a plan to visit one soon (not decided yet whether I would get on this high-speed boat or a normal (simply say, low-speed) boat). I have seen a lot of books related to these Tokyo islands....and I just totally feel that things and people must be very different in these islands compared with those in here Tokyo. I just can't believe that these islands all belong to the Tokyo Metropolitan!

Regards,

Joe

Hi all, I'd like to share some of my photos taken when things become so haphazard, wandering in Tokyo during a hot summer weekend. Sorry for no any photo description (even a short one)...a free will leading to both free horizontal thinking and free vertic...

Very Nice, Joe, I really enjoyed your nature and food shots and particularly that little green frog. I made it my computer wallpaper today, but all my icons are camouflaged! Regards Andrew

Very nice pics, Joe T

Still wondering

Joe, The high-speed boat looks like it’s sitting on pillars in the front and back with nothing in the center. Is this correct? What’s propelling it? Puzzled, Helen...  

I'm not sure but it is...

a kind of hydrofoil (wings flying in the water) boats. It is not a hovercraft. More speed increases more lifting force and thereby raising the boat out of the water while traveling. Since I'm not an expert in boats, I think more information can be found f...  

Now I understand

Joe, It’s still a bit confusing how two stilts can make a boat go super fast causing it to rear up out of the water. Actually, I feel the same bewilderment about airplanes; f rom the moment it takes off till leveling off I have a serious queasy feeling ab...
