I rode my bike down to the ocean tonight.  An interesting thing about bicycles in Japan is that most have an old-fashioned self-powering light in the front.  Well, apparently mine couldn't handle the intense voltage pumped into it by my ludicrous speed, and it popped.  So I found myself in complete darkness on a country highway with a broken light.  A troublesome situation.  Well, worry not-- I needed only pull out my mobile phone and switch on the camera light.  Not terribly bright, but effective.  I finished my quest to the ocean, and took a few night shots, including the one here.
