This ocean seemed like "The sea of Okhotsk" which I have ever seen in the TV program, and the strong wind was bringing the spindrift toward Izu Oshima island....
My son and me went to the beach after a long time.
Yes, it was a first time for us to see the ocean this year, because we were very busy during new year holidays.

Hello, everybody !!
This is a picture of our children, which I took for a new year card of 2007.
I wish you a happy new year !!
Today it was cold here but very beautiful day.
In this season when it is cold the air is very clear.
That's why we could see some ships in the ocean and Izu Oshima island over there from the room of Sakuraya.
Before going to Shimoda for shopping my son and I went to the beach to take a picture.
It was very warm in Shirahama today, so there were many people to take a walk.
Some of them were in the water without shoes.
We usually don't see such scenary in this season because it is almost end of the year. ....
Today I had to go for shopping, so I went to Shimoda with my son, "Yuuki".
After that, we went to Shimoda harbor to see the ships.
"Look, Yuuki ! There are big ships overthere."
"What is the name of that ship with the crane ?"
"........... ."
Yuuki always reads the book of behicles as his treasure, but he couldn't aswere my question. Because his book doesn't have an information of that ship.
"Don't move, boy ! Watch your step ! There is a sea over here."
By the way I am showing the picture of Shirahama beach..... .
There was a little clouds in the sky this morning, but we could see a beautiful sunrise and Izu Oshima island on the left side.
We have only 10 days this year, we can see the TV programs which tell something about Chiristmas and New year holidays everyday.
I hope we will be able to see a beautiful sunrise like today on Jan 1st !!

Today we had a little wind but it was warm this afternoon.
How did you feel in your place today ?
By the way this is a view from 2nd floor of our Pension.

Yes, this is a tipical scenery of winter in Shimoda.
That ship is staying in this area until the strong wind will stop.
Because they have very strong wind at the southmost area of Izu peninsula today and it would be 30 meters per minutes or more.
They can not go through this area because of its danger.
By the way, when my wife and I went to Shimoda we found the rainbow.
It was raining over that ocean, I guess, but in Shirahama ........
