While I was in Japan I hit a milestone. As I was wandering around Gujo Hachiman in the rain I snapped this picture along the banks of the Yoshida River.
It's far from the best picture I've ever taken but it is charming in its own way with the forest of bamboo and cedar on the mountainside behind the cheerfully painted homes. As I was taking the photo I was balancing my umbrella, camera and bag trying to get the picture without getting soaked. I got my picture but I didn't stay very dry.
What is notable about the picture is that when I was looking at my photos later I notived that it is the ten thousandth shot that I have taken with my Canon EOS 7D.
I love taking photos and while many are not that great they are all mine, my memories frozen in time. Here's to another 10,000!
