Taken by a rangefinder?

Is there Onsen in Kyshu?

Your pictures seem quiet, that is how i felt.

Hi Terence, these were taken using my 5DMKII... do they look like rangefinder shots?

Yes, there's a lot of onsens in Kyushu, most famous area would be Beppu and Yufuin...

"Pictures seem quiet"... ermm care to elaborate?

Cheers

Towards Kumamoto Series...

13) Stopped by a quiet little town called Asakura on the way to Kumamoto... this water wheels are over 100 year old now...

14) Nice, clean local market...

15) Lovely flowers sold at the flower market...

16) Misty valley

17) It's such a surreal and magical feel driving through this country-side landscape...
