It deserves better. Many of my archive photos were taken with a lower-res (max 640x480, same as my new keitai cam!) Sony Mavica FD-75 (FD is for Floppy Disk, hence the low res). I was against memory sticks and flash cards, and mistakenly thought they would be a hassle. More recent photos are taken with 3.2 megapixel Sony Cybershot P-71.

I think I took this in 1997. Just after a rain is the best time, when the stones are wet they show their character. This is near my home, on the Eizan Dentetsu (railway). My train is a "one-man car"-type, you take a ticket like a bus, and pay the driver at the till in front. if you continue past my house and fully leave town, you wind between the foothills and the line ends at Kurama.
