Zil Sunset

Travus'
Mine
With these nets the boys caught: Fugu (blowfish), crabs, shrimp, and other various fish I can't name.
Austin's little board...he really got into it this weekend.
Austin
Tatado beach
Model name of our RV from Vantech here in Japan.
Toyota? Cant get one of these in the states can I?
Soooo COOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zil Sunset by /\ltus.
I know I keep saying this, but life is *so* much better with a camping car!

It is awesome having the freedom to lug all our gear around in a vehicle with hot running water, shower, toilet, stove, fridge, and a capacity to sleep 6 people comfortably. All in a package that fits into a standard Japanese parking space.

A bonus is having a room with a view most the time (Ocean front in this shot ;-)

5xp handheld HDR shot taken at the end of yet another great day of fishing and surfing at Tatado Beach in Southern Izu.

Ha ha! I love how you've tagged everything under the sun in this photo! ^_^

The colors are pefectly amazing! You had a much better vantage point than anyone in that big hotel anyway. That must be so much fun, taking that RV across the country. I want to do that! I just went camping this past weekend (sort of, I stayed in a lodge because it was below freezing and I don't have the gear to sleep in that weather yet). It's so great to get out and see the world. Your kids have an awesome dad. ^_^

kellgallaher  Pro User  says:

This is a very cool photograph, the colors are awesome and a composition is very unique. You have executable artistic license on this image. I for one like a great deal. I'm always amazed at the golden hour, you know that 45 minutes of fantastic light just before sunset....it just makes everything the better, I wish the golden hour lasted for like three or four hours.

Much appreciated everyone!

You can by an RV in Japan from $30k on up. Depends largely on the options you get. Made easy though with super-cheap 2% financing for 7 years ;-)

Very kind words 1987; it really is a lot of fun and a lot more flexible.

Most kind words kellgallaher! I hear ya about the golden hour...would be nice if it lasted longer!
