Under the Bridge

Out walkies

Why yes, there has been a dearth of posts recently, you may have noticed. And there will be for a couple weeks yet; not because of particularly insanely overcommitted deadlines which is the usual reason you see gaps here, but because we’ve gone out walkies over the Christmas season which we figured was about as downtime as things would get around here in the foreseeable future.

So let’s play “Where’s the Troll?” shall we? Here’s a snap from a couple days back at a vista which is regarded as veritably iconic for the region, so if you’re impeccably well cultured you should be able to identify this right off. Hint: the iconic view of this particular place is generally a shot taken at high tide, so it looks like it’s floating. But at high tide you can’t get a shot of you standing in front of it. Well, we suppose you could swim out, but that would be a pretty funny-looking picture.

So, our no-doubt Well Traveled Readers, where in the world is the Troll, do you think?

    Why, even us uncultured and unwashed masses (with Google™ skills) are able to find the torii at Itsukushima. Have a blast! Not that it would be any other way. :) Anyone on the road with you?

    Not bad, not bad. To be perfect you’d have to know that all the maps and so forth over here call it “Miyashima”, but close enough.

    And no, trolls are just as solitary travelers as they are everything else. You’ll see us traveling with people only when the schedule is so inflexible that there’s no opportunity to strike out on our own as fancy takes us. Or when they’re paying,of course.
