Whoah! That was a fast flick-through!!!
What are those things at the bottom of the page around 36-37 seconds? They look like dusty old sticks of dynamite.Buddhist scrolls? Candles?

to give you a brief behind the scenes.... The video itself was shot on April 8, 2011 at 5:44 in the morning, so just after the big earthquake, and I guess (bit long ago to remember my state of mind) that I quickly wanted to make this (and other videos) in case we really had to leave Japan due to the nuclear "issue" we had. Probably also the fact that I was sitting on my knees for hours to make these video's one after the other. Anyway, the video with the titles was made on June 30 2016, also in the morning. So yes, a bit late in posting, I have some backlog

Anyway, here are the pictures so you can have a look at them s l o w l y .
