Jon, u're a liar. U told me that u don't know how to take good pics of modern building but see, what u've gotten? They're wonderful!!! ^_^ The shot of the dragonflies and insects are great too, ganbate!

Thanks for the marvelous photos! They are really terrific!! Did you know, the Statue of Liberty was offered to the British, first, but they didn't want it. I'm glad the French gave it to us! Loved the amazing damselfly, especially!

Thanks
Thank you for the positive feedback. Seems everyone has their own favs.. personally I like nature shots but Tokyo being Tokyo no visit will be complete without some of the urban pics.. Gentle : We did not get to go up Tokyo Tower.. it was closed when we got there. The Statue of Liberty replica is a pale version of the real thing.. Rainy: I agree with you.. Greentown has oodles more character Shon : The pitcher and Venus fly trap are not native.. they are part of 'cultivated' plants found in the wetlands park FM: I like the sunflower pics too.. it was a pity I ran out of batteries. else I'd be posting a lot more photos ;-) Fuji san was a little more disappointing.too cloudy to get a good shot Tim : Roppongi was right up there on my priority list of must see places.. heard a lot about it.. Erina : Doesn't everyone??? YKW: Yes.. I took them.. it's every bit as amazing as the pics show.. I was kicking myself for not charging the batteries the night before..

The Roppongi Hills photos are very nice!! As usual, you won't miss out some good macro shot on insect and flowers. I wish i can travel to Japan and stay there for 2 months, just to explore this very unique country... Erina

Cool!
Such a nice Japan collection:) Well, I like the tall building shots too. Very unique and angle is just perfect! The rest are also really good! Have seen that before on your laptop:)

I like the Majestic Fuji Mountain & the Sunflower pic. But the Fuji Mt pix doesn't look as sharp as it should be when i saved it as my desktop...:(

Fantastic close-ups and compositions
I've never seen insectivorous plants in the wild. There seemed to be quite a few where you were.

Jon - wonderful pix, as usual..... altho I don't think I'd like the modern city.... I prefer Georgetown ;o) your macro pix of flowers & insects are my favs, like always... I saved a copy of the golden grains one to my screen saver file... it was special ;o)

'Hi Jon"
These are wonderful pics, a combination of urban & nature sights. But how big is that Statue of Liberty? The view up Tokyo Tower must spectacular. (Hope to see Japan too someday.)
