Not quite, it's the view to the east towards Cape Soya rather than north towards Russia. I couldn't see Russia when I was there, even through a long zoom lens.
I was 25km across the sea from Russia on eastern Hokkaido, and could not see Russia either. |

Kunisaki Peninsula, Oita Prefecture 2018 |
Huis Ten Bosch
I always have to check the spelling of this place.
Not everyone's cup of tea, but I'm a huge fan. Also, when I was there a few years ago, the Red Lobster there had some traditional American menu items not available at most other Japanese locations. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...13fc6a37ae.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cda7bd0b75.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0d7e04ec3d.jpg |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Still_Water_(sculpture) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kelpies And, my favourite, the exhausted head of one of the Godess Selene’s chariot horses from the Parthenon (British Museum) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/F...246715981).jpg ETA - just found out that the original Staunton endorsed chess pieces (versions of which are now the standard kind used all over the world) used this horse’s head from Selene’s chariot as the inspiration. |
Daisho-in temple on Miyajima

Was this in a temple in Miyajima? I recall a temple there had a similar room.

Yes! Daisho-in. I forgot to label it at first.
