I am now preparing the third e-photobook. It is about Patagonia in Argentina. When I went to Argentina for the first time in February 2004 by the 44th Peace Boat Cruise, I chose to go to the Antarctica as an optional tour and I missed seeing Patagonia. Therefore I wanted to visit there by all means. I could visit there in September 2010 finally.  It's been already 10 years!  How fast time flies!

I hope many people will enjoy my third e-photobook too.

I am glad to see the beautiful moon tonight.
