Cats (Neko,猫)

At night, gangs of cats roam the streets of Sendai, scratching stuff and stealing milk.
Watermark’d
Nov 2nd, 2009
This was more of an exercise in Photoshop batch-processing than anything else, to automate the resizing and inclusion of a watermark in CS4. Selected photos were taken around downtown Sendai over the past week.
Riding the Loople Bus
Feb 22nd, 2009
Still digging through photos from last year, this time stumbling across a set from March. Kyoko’s best friend came up from Saitama to visit, so we spent the day in Sendai doing some sightseeing. To be honest there isn’t much historical sightseeing to be done in Sendai proper, but we hopped on the Sendai Loop Bus which takes you around to see the sights.
First stop was the site of Aoba Castle. A giant fire destroyed a lot of the castle in 1882, then the Americans obliterated what was left back in 1945, so there actually isn’t anything to see. I guess the only thing you can see is the view that you would’ve seen if you were looking from the castle out towards what is now downtown Sendai.
All I had was my cellphone camera =/
After that we hopped back on the bus and headed to Zuihoden Mausoleum, where the famous feudal lord Masamune Date rests. Lined with tall cedar trees, it’s a nice peaceful place for a stroll.
We’ll definitely head back up to the Aoba Castle grounds after we move to Sendai next month. I think it would be a cool place to go in the evening to relax, drink a beverage, and enjoy the view.
