A Day Trip in Hakone (Photo-journey) - Featured on Sept.20, 2005

Dear Yoshiyuki, this album of Hakone is absolutely fantastic! And I'm so honoured to be the first to sign here, a real joy! Your photography is excellent! I'd really love to visit this place, the view to the mountains is so gorgeous. I also find the glassware, the lamps, the Noh masks so interesting and fascinating. A real masterpiece this whole album my friend. An album that has to be studied more carefully when time allows, so I'll surely come back. Thank you so much for sharing, my warmest greetings to you and Gabriela, best wishes, your Finnish friend Salla

Dear Yoshiyuki, I totally agree with you, I truly admire you, I always think of you ... for you and Gabriela are the true artists who can keep showing the true and unique beauties of Japan. Oh! What a wonderful journey, what a wonderful visit, what a beautiful place ... what a joyful day! Best wishes to you and Gabriela forever! CS

Hello Yoshiyuki, another delightfull look at life in Japan. That crytomeria tree is magnificent, I have a couple of baby ones in the garden but hope they never get that big. The ships modelled on old galleons did remind me of the Vasa in Stockholm museum. Eric

Hello Yoshiyuki, What nice memories this album brings, I remember my visit to Hakone as if it was yesterday! The cruise on the lake, the gallion ship, the red Torii gate on the water's edge... My best two favorites of this album are #1 - the Soleil Royal - a rare beauty! This picture is a masterpiece. And my second favorite is #10 - it has a lot of interesting dynamics between the people, the art, and the perspective itself. Other great pictures are: #5/15/17/18/30/41/55/58/6 6. Another great photo-journey in Japan! Love, Ina

Mr. Tanaka, You do have some gorgeous shots of the old ship and the surrounding countryside, of which I downloaded quickly, the fine lines of the old ships are magnificent in your shots. Lots of green and water in your country, always liked visiting. Thank you for your insight from these photos. Say hello to your wife for me. Best regards. Ron

Hello Yoshiyuki, what a great album, I wonder how I didn't see it before today. The opening photo is just great of this beautiful ship. What a wonderful journey you must have had on her. The landscape is really beautiful, all the lines of the hills going down the lake, the point of views, the lounge, I would easily meditate in this surrounding :) Your photo #20 would make such a nice postcard! Your view on #27 is very well composed. And your #31, the view of the ship onboard with the people is great. Thanks for your visit in my Objets D'Art album and give my best regards to Gabriela. Have a great day. Yan/Ottawa

Dear Yoshiyuki, You know as I can love this place that I painted many times after our Japan trip; You were not lucky as the magnificent volcano was not there to crown the landscape with its eternal snows; But this album makes me perfect memories and the pictures are very nice; The leading image is gorgeous, 7 with Gabriela, 12 & 14 are perfect paintings shots, as the red lamp in 17, the flowers are stunning in 57, 58, 66 and my most preferred are the Master Pieces 20 Bertha & Torii, 22 the Red Torii and 61 the so delicate and fresh wild flower, a treasure! You can appreciate without modesty your feature to-day, with affection, Jacques

Hi Yoshiyuki, congratulations on this beautiful featured album! It has a little of everything and all of it very good. I particularly like the tall ships and the wild flowers. I thought that hibiscus were tropical and would be killed by your winters. Apparently not! They are such beautiful flowers and are among our most beautiful and most popular here in Florida. Warm greetings from Florida, Paul.

Hello Yoshiyuki and congratulations on this fine featured album! It's a very pleasant journey you have made for us and a delight for the eyes - especially when one finds Gabriela hiding among the shots :-) The colors are beautiful, the water so inviting, and the woods with their dappled lighting are a relaxing antidote to my hectic day here in San Francisco. Now you will have a hectic time replying to all your admirers! Enjoy the glory and a warm hug to you and Gabriela, Beth

What a beautiful album reflecting the serenity, calmness and earth's envioronment at its best! The lead photo of 'Royal Sun' is a winner which reflects all the above. The paintings by Maki and the gl####ware particularly captured my imagination. Bertha cruising in the lake is another excellent take. I have been to Japan many times but have not had the pleasure of doing this trip. Now my imagination is all fired up. Thank you for sharing such beautiful pictures and congtratulations on this well deserved album being featured. Best wishes, Suresh from India
