Photo of the Day

Here it is, folks, your very last Japanese Photo of the Day. In honor of the long journey I'll take to get back home, I'm posting some transport photos. Expect a post later in the day saying sayonara.

I have spent more time on ferries this past year and a half that I care to admit. People who live on the islands get a hefty discount, which makes taking the overnight boat about 50% less than flying. 11 hours on a boat is often a bit tough, though.

My one and only helicopter trip to/from Aogashima.

And, of course, the main artery of Tokyo, the JR train line.

Inside a train at about 3 in the afternoon on a weekday. You don't want to see rush hour.

And this magnificent wonder is the machine that has gotten me around Hachijo for the duration of my stay. Oh, Blueberry, I will miss you so.

I am really going to miss the Japan-influenced photo of the day postings and blog. You have no idea how many times I've laughed, been inspired, and learned something new on amateur fatalist. Please keep it up when you get home.

You're an amazing photojournalist.
