| Nancy Stearns and Roy Sargent Resting on the Towada Lake Trail Japan 1979 |
 |
| With all our camera gear, Roy and I definitely looked like tourists. |
These two photos were rock shots, taken when Roy and I hiked the trail to Towada Lake. By the time we finally arrived at the lake, we were tired and the skies opened up and dropped buckets of rain. Thankfully, we found someone who agreed to give us a ride back to our car.
Other photos of the Lake Towada area can be seen in these earlier posts.
I love your "rock shots" and your memories of this hike. I've been on hikes like that where the trail tired us out and the rain came pouring down. The only difference was there was no one to give us a ride. That was lucky!
ReplyDeleteYour smile is contagious - I can't help but smile when I look at these shots. How nice that you took the time to experience and explore the places you have lived.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of "rock" shots with that camera. I had a really good camera similar to that (with those long lenses) for the yearbook at school the last few years I was there. It was a work horse. Do the wonderful memories come flooding back as you look at these photos?
ReplyDeleteROck SHOTS! love that term. You look so happy Nancy!
ReplyDeleteNow that was a great camera! I never could afford one...always bought the cheap cameras until Digital then I splurged:)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun memories Nancy. I didn't get a good camera until I started blogging.
ReplyDeleteSELFIES!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou were cool with it before it was even a THING!
Yep, love the idea of selfies and rock shots! I had a SLR camera in college and took a photojournalism class and developed and printed my own black and whites. I didn't keep up with even the camera too much cause I have bad eyes and couldn't tell if the picture was in focus. Digital works good enough for me now.
