Hope for Japan

As regular readers of my blog will know I have been to Japan twice in the last 3 years, in fact it's nearly 3 years since my first trip to Japan and the start of my blog. Japan is a country of such beauty, peacefulness, and calm which is totally contrasted with the breathtaking bustle and business of Tokyo. Words can't really express the shock and sorrow I have felt watching the news of last weeks huge earth quake and tsunami and the destruction and devastation it has caused. On top of this natural disaster is the terrible nuclear crisis at Fukushima.

The picture above is of sakura (cherry blossom) which is a symbol of spring and hope in Japan. My thoughts are with the quietly dignified people of Japan.
