Far too dangerous to venture up to the Artic Circle which I believe starts just south of Sendai. I have finally realised I am not a photographer. I did a unit of photography at university, bought a Nikon FA (the last good camera) and accessories, read books, joined a club and shot thousands of dollars of film. I have some nice photos better than your average snapshot but nothing great. It's only with my digital camera and shooting hundreds of shots that I can quite good shots.
