Open Air








We went up the ajisai (hydrangea) railway - the steepest conventional railway in the world apparently - and re-visited the great Hakone Open Air Museum

Inspiring stuff for projects this summer - my favourite being Symphonic Sculpture by Gabriel Loire (top - the other photos are of things in Hayama).

Ended up at a birthday bash in Odawara, where a good time was had by all. The quote of the evening, that I can recall, from a European lady married to a Japanese: "He is a very nice man, but a terrible husband".
