View from Ushimado 2
Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 20 October 2009 in Landscape & Rural.
Taken from the hill-top olive garden in Ushimado, overlooking the Inland Sea.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

Beautiful view. I didn't know that they were producing olives in Japan.
