I'm not particularly fond of the telephone line in this shot, but I like the other elements. You can see the tree from the previous photos on the right.
This is just a small stream that feeds into the Mekujiri River. However, the community has landscaped it into an ornamental garden stream. Minamikurihara, Zama, Japan

On the morning of my second day trip to North Island, NZ, I headed to Kitekite Falls, which is situated on the hinges of the beautiful coastal town of Piha, an hour's drive east of Auckland. I say beautiful because Piha is the only town in New Zealand where it slowly gets into view as you descend from over the mountains, and the Tasman Sea behind it grows majestic.
Kitekite falls is not on Google maps, to get to the carpark (which is the end of Glenesk Road), plug this coordinate into your navigation system: -36.952303,174.48404
All my shots of the magnificent 5 tier falls turned out to be duds - water spray, high position of the sun etc. So instead of that, I present to you - the charming Kitekite stream.
Used Lee 105mm polarizer and GNDs for this shot.

After reaching the peak, networks of streams can be discovered along the slopes of Mt. Mitake. The mountain is breathing with life as the spring season finally gives birth to sleeping trees, giving the mountain a natural green glow.

This company was established as an organics collector and processor, thus the name Organics Recycling Group, but as seen with these bins they have expanded a lot into general waste and recycling. Pretty well on point here with the correct bin colours for this day and age... maroon for food, blue for cardboard, red for garbage and yellow for bottles. I recall when this company started off with a couple of second hand side loaders to empty the organics 240Ls they had, and now they run multiple new rear loaders which get around the city area emptying groups of 1100Ls and collecting all the key waste streams – bit of a success story with ORG!
