In-between classes, I started messing around with my new Canon IXY. Mostly, I took pictures of the sky, because I saw some interesting stuff in it. Yesterday, I saw some neat looking contrails from jets going wherever they’re going. Today, I saw some beautiful shimmery clouds.<\/p>\n

Oh, and I also took a photo of a goldenrod weed near the school. Just because.<\/p>\n

The 10-minute breaks are welcome, but sometimes it’s difficult to figure out what I want to do for 10 minutes. It’s just enough time to realize it’s not enough.<\/p>\n

And now, the photos:<\/p>\n

The contrails looked cool, and had a kind of lonely feel to them:<\/p>\n

Sideways shot!<\/p>\n

Power lines interfere with a lot of my photography in Japan.<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s annoying.<\/p>\n

I liked the blue wall and yellow\/green plant combination here. Just a weed near Yamasa.<\/p>\n

\"Goldenrod,<\/a><\/p>\n

I really like this shot. The sky was kind of shimmery, and Aoi Hall was its usual corrugated self. Makes an interesting shot. Thanks, Lightroom!<\/p>\n

Now just the sky without Aoi Hall:<\/p>\n

One more:<\/p>\n

If you look at it the right way, doesn’t this look like a dragon’s head? Just a bit?<\/p>\n

We get 10-minute breaks between classes.
