Fishermen in autumn, wood collecting season begins...

Joined my suweeto haato for a walk last weekend...
 Five minutes from our place lies the beach...
 A fisherman or two trying out their luck on the Japanese 'needle-fish'...
A few more minutes down the path, we found some workmen felling trees in an area where there was a landslide...
And some hours later, we returned to the site with our gear... wooh, very nice ubame oak (native to Japan) logs that are most appropriate for the wood stove....

    1. In Japanese, they are called 'sayori'... long, about 30 cm... a little thicker than an adult's thumb... white flesh, almost translucent... very tasty fish...
