Yes, on the hills at the back of the Hot Spring Hotels. My house is about 900 meters above sea level. Will be moving soon, so will add about another 10 meter as the new house is higher than the current house and a completely different view. Same place, just further up the road.

Yeah bad timing with the trip. If not I will you and your wife to Fuhji Fish Market for seafood lunch. Next time perhaps.

The last wristshot of your hydrocarbon looks so diff.

The dial is so much deeper... :) must be the angle when ur watch dip inside the water... but the effect made the watch look as thick as deepsea

BTW , great shots on the river .. its so blue and cool . THanks for sharing
