Some snaps from my time in Japan.
It was some years ago. I lived in Nagasaki, but this is a small town on the Shimabara Peninsula.
At this time, around 15 years ago, the rice fields were brilliant green.
We had a chance to harvest some rice.
More recently, the rice fields here have been falling into disrepair, overgrown. The old people are all that's left. There are more and more empty houses too.
I'll be talking more a bout Japan in my blog. I love the place.
