      Hey man, I do check from time to time, life sucks but what's new? :D Sadly I've not done art in the longest time but hope to get back in the swing of it once again and get some new content up. Cheers for the comment.

      Haha! Well, you are probably more active on the site than I am, then! Hopefully, 2019 will be a better year - for both of us...
      I look forward to seeing more of your work when you are ready!

    Just outside Kokura - rapidly picking up speed as we head towards Hakata on the Shinkansen

    Rapidly acclerating out of Kokura, you can feel the G-force pushing you back in your seat!

    This beats flying any day! A lot more leg room - and a better sensation of speed. There's actually quite a lot of people in this carriage but the Japanese are not noted for being particularly tall - which is why you can only see half of them!!

    Kokura Station in Kita Kyushu, Japan - whilst waiting for my own train to Hakata, Fukuoka

    Another awesome train at Kokura Station. (I used to be a train-spotter, you know? Does it show?!!) ? ? ? Shinkansen 新幹線 (pronounced: Shin-Kan-Sen) refers to the rail system, not the trains that run on it! 新幹線 translates, word-for-word as "New trunk line" - in other words, it's a dedicated high speed rail network. When I was in school, we used to call the trains that ran on the Shinkansen, "Bullet Trains" (Some people still do!) Here's an East-bound or "Up" train at Kokura Station in Kita Kyushu - on a very brief stop before hurtling off towards Tokyo.
  10. From the album: Welcome, to the Shinkansen!

    'Looks like a dream - and goes like a bat out of hell! 300km/h and smooth as silk. Very quiet too... All you can really hear is the humming of electric motors as they pick up speed.
  11. OK, well good luck with uploading images! I am still not 100% certain that the issue has been resolved? It could just be an ISP issue where I am right now. Anyway, ' any issues, just drop me a pm. And thanks for your patience!

  12. Please bear with me for a bit, while I try to get the Gallery working properly. I have just upgraded the site software to the latest version - and now it is taking forever to upload images - even small ones...Grrrr!!!
