Spiral Staircases

There is nothing particularly Japanese about spiral staircases, but they do make nice photos!!

The first 2 photos are from the Sakamoto Ryoma Memorial Museum near Kochi, Shikoku.

This one is in the Warabekan, a museum of toys and childrens songs in Tottori City.

    Howdy...I have a general sort of question. Are there many nice beaches or coastline in Shimane, or is it mostly concrete and tetrapods?

    Actually there are some fine white sand beaches with few people. Lots of surfers come up from the pacific coast. There are also some wonderful cliffs and coves expecially along the Shimane hanto.

    You have such a genius for finding beautiful patterns everywhere, and framing them perfectly. I like the toy museum one especially, for the color.
