The retirement of the old Meon and the arrival of its replacement are not the only things that are happening at Takamatsu Sunport at the moment. I knew it was coming, I was secretly hoping it wouldn’t (knowing it was totally unrealistic, but… you know… a man can hope…), but […]
Last week, I bid farewell to the old Meon, as you probably already know. I did it last week-end, because I knew I couldn’t be at Sunport today at noon when it actually left Takamatsu for the last time. My son had a year-end school event this morning, I obviously […]
Yesterday at noon, the old Meon came to Takamatsu for its farewell ceremony! It is being retired at the end of the week after almost 34 years of connecting Megijima and Ogijima to the rest of the world! Unfortunately, I missed the ceremony, but as I happened to be in […]
I ended the previous article with the picture of a non-descript dam whose name I don’t even know (if I search a little bit, I should find it, but it will be for when I write about it – let’s not waste time here if I want to manage to […]

A very quick post today. I shot this video, and I thought you may like it. I’m debating starting a “relaxing in Setouchi” series. The most difficult part is having a video that’s several minutes long and that is not interrupted by the sound of a motorized vehicle. […]
Yesterday afternoon, there were some quite impressive clouds floating over Okayama, on the other side of the Seto Inland Sea. As I don’t know much about clouds, I’m not sure why, but such a view is pretty rare. I suspect that their existence is related to the fact that a […]
