Went down to Shimoda during the long weekend (last Monday was a National holiday).
So happens that I'm *not* the only foreigner in Japan with a camping car. Was contacted a few weeks back from the fellow on the left as he had discovered some of my RV shots on Flickr and was happy to see that there was at least one other foreigner in Japan driving around in a RV. His family has two boys of similar ages to my two which is a *huge* plus as they all get along and play well together!

Headed down to Shimoda again last weekend for more Ocean action.
On the way to an area to park our RV and go to sleep was treated to a full moon rising over the Ocean, so pulled over at a rest area up high on a cliff to snap this 30sec exposure with my trusty point-n-shoot Lumix.
Would've preferred to use my Pentax K-7, but forgot to bring my tripod with me and I couldn't set it down someplace steady enough for a long-exposure. My smaller Lumix though sat just fine on a small handrail so that I could get this long-exposure off. Yet again highlighting how versatile this little camera is.

Gneo, lo so che sono un po' in ritardo, ma il server del sito non ha il nostro fuso orario, per cui e' ancora l'11...;-)))))) Auguri!!
Shimoda (下田市, Shimoda-shi) is a city and port located in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. As of 1 August 2019, the city had an estimated population of 21,402 in 10,787 households, and a population density of 200 persons per km2. The total area of the city is 104.71 square kilometres (40.43 sq mi). In the 1850s, Japan was in political crisis over its increasing inability to maintain its national seclusion policy and the issue of what relations, if any, it should have with foreign powers. For a few years, Shimoda was central to this debate.
Shimoda is located at the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula about 100 kilometres southwest of Tokyo. Shimoda's location, with the Amagi Mountains to the north, and the warm Kuroshio Current to the south give the city a humid, sub-tropical climate.
