This week's Humble Offering of Humbility is brought to you by I'S BUSY! So here's a Kansas Cityscape. It's a view from the 20th floor of my work. Alas, it's a vantage I'll no longer have as we're moving offices (hence the busyness). So I decided to take you on a little note tour to help spice it up/make it as annoying as possible.
Have a creative non-busy week, everyone!

This has to go down as one of the toughest photos I have ever captured. After walking down to the lighthouse in the pitch black, we sat, drank tea, and simply had our breath taken away by the light show in the sky!
A truly amazing experience to see :)

Shibu Onsen is a historic and attractive hot spring town in Yamanouchi, which has retained a traditional atmosphere. Nestled in a small valley, Shibu Onsen is spread out on a gentle slope beside the Yokoyugawa River, with Yudanaka Onsen located below and the Jigokudani Monkey Park above.
During its long history, the area has been visited for its hot spring water by a lot of people, including priests, samurai and poets. Some of the ryokan (Japanese style inns) that line Shibu's narrow streets, date back over 400 years, adding greatly to Shibu's atmosphere. Guests of the ryokan are encouraged to take a stroll around town in the traditional onsen clothing of yukata robes and geta sandals.
One incentive to walk around the town is to make use of the public bath houses, of which there are nine. The public baths are locked and, except for one, only accessible to locals and overnight guests, who are provided with a master key by their ryokan. The bath houses are small buildings, divided into a women's side and a men's side, and the baths themselves are quite simple. The bath houses are numbered, but also have special names and cure different ailments. Source: www.japan-guide.com

Yamanouchi is a municipality in northern Nagano Prefecture with a variety of tourist attractions. The area's Jigokudani Monkey Park draws many visitors because of its unique wild monkeys, who bathe in the park's natural hot springs. The monkeys are not the only ones enjoying the water, as the nearby towns of Shibu Onsen and Yudanaka Onsen are centered around the bathing experience.
The largest ski resort in Japan, Shiga Kogen, is also located within Yamanouchi. One single ticket gives skiers and snowboarders access to dozens of runs, some of which hosted events during the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics. Shiga Kogen and other parts of Yamanouchi are part of the Joshinetsu Kogen National Park, which offers hiking and other outdoor activities when there is no snow on the hills.

Many bus and coach operators issued publicity guides to 'sell' their network and this, from the mid-1920s, is typical. One thing was less common in that the Bristol Tramways & Carriage Co Ltd. (whose magnificent title survived past the end of their tramways operation and into the 1950s!) were one of the few operators who built their own buses and coaches. The Bristol factory at Brislington would in fact, over the coming decades, churn out thousands of well-regarded vehicles that many other operators purchased, particularly in the nationalised years when Bristol had a 'captive' audience.
This edition of the guide shows a Bristol 'charabanc' on the Open Road, typical of the image of coach trip of the era and at a time when road motor transport was starting to make serious inroads into railway excursion travel. The booklet details 37 tours that the Company ran across the South West of England, many 'local' but including some fairly lengthy runs to destinations such as Stratford upon Avon and Bournemouth. The routes are shown on the two maps.
This edition fo the guide is produced by E Burrow & Co Ltd of Cheltenham, a publisher who became dominant in the niche market of 'official' guides and handbooks. The guide also conatins two adverts - one for the company's charabanc tours and another for the charabancs themselves. At the time the Commercial Vehicle section of the company, based at Brislington, was able to sell to the open market and their chassis were highly regarded.
