Pictures from Nagasaki to Fukuoka




Find it hard to resist photographing all the different man-hole covers!  This one in Nagasaki.
















Replica junk prepares to leave to escort a departing Portuguese sail training ship - just like in the days of old.
















Enjoyed the fireworks at Huis Ten Bosch but not the attitude of the marina staff!







Don't worry, these squid are not alive to experience this drying process



















Imari porcelain and pottery is seen all over the town as public art










 Resting the tired feet in the hot spring water at the public foot bath, Hirado





The lovely Hirado Castle, high on the hill at Hirado























Hazy sunset in Fukuoka, enjoyed by the gulls as well as us at the end of a hot day
