You seem to have the advantage of me - you have a bit less snow! Lovely photos, though. Chris Hi Chris! Speaking of snow, I was in Akita about 4 weeks ago and this was the view from my hotel room: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tZ-OOsngEd4/Vl3Wesip0mI/AAAAAAAAQPQ/0xgAtPmYzj8/s1152-Ic42/P1050431...

Re: 3 Sandalwood creams to choose from
I'm a fan of the Vulfix "Luxury" Sandalwood shaving cream. Great stuff, great lather. The only problem with it is that it's not named properly because it doesn't smell like sandalwood. It should have been named something like "Spicy Pumpkin Pie" or "I'm not sure what this sm...

Chris, I'm a big fan of shallow depth of field. When it's done well it can have a very pleasing effect. Thanks for sharing your examples.
