My collection of sky in 2008

2008 is one of the busiest years for me. I lived in Oahu Island until June and went back home, Japan. After working in Tokyo for 2 months, I visited Paris and stayed there for 1 month.Then I moved to Ireland and spent time at Dublin and Galway for 1 month. As soon as I came back to Tokyo at the end of October, I flew to Okinawa used to be Ryukyu kingdom,the southern end of Japan now. I met a lot of sky which left me breathless. I am happy to introduce some of them

1:Oahu Island~ I was looking at the sky in a car which my friend drove on the way to home from Manoa valley.

2:Saint Louis Island at Paris~ The Pope visited Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris on this day. In spite of a heavy rain on the day before, it was a splendid day. He must be a sunny man.

3:Dublin~I had much rain there and felt so gloomy. There was no any hope and pleasure in my heart until the sun rose and lighted me. I really thanked for someone who have been watching and protecting us.

4:Galway on west coast in Ireland~ I was there for 2 weeks as a student of English school. The apartment at which I stayed was the best point to appreciate sky. This was taken in morning. You can see a half moon.

6:Galway~evening

7:Tokyo~My home is on 4th floor with view of Mt.Fuji in winter. It is my pleasure to see the sky anytime I want. Imagine I can see falling snow over Tokyo in winter, thunderhead and lightning in summer. Every season has its own beauty.

8:Okinawa~ After seeing Syuri castle, I walked around and took this.
