I took the long way home today to clear some exhaust from my mind. This took me over Mt. Yahiko in Niigata prefecture, Japan, to the seaside. I was working in a small town called Sanjo on the other side of the mountain and decided the freeway was too boring for today. Too much routine can be a death sentence to inspiration.

Weather was beautiful. These kind of days put me in another place--a surreal feeling--which is impossible to put into words probably. I composed a little snippet of music and a video to share the experience as best I could.

I hope you enjoy riding with me.

Thanks for stopping by.
