The day started out hazy, but soon turned into blue skies.  Ship Freakazoid was taken by friends to a beautiful spot that turned out to be perfect for photographing ships passing thru the Kanmon Strait. Garden Paradise Kitakyushu has a number of nice spots where one can enjoy views of the passing ships.
