Narita Airport
Narita Airport is the primary international airport for the region of Tokyo. It is located in Chiba prefecture. It has a nice observation deck to watch planes landing and taking off from up close.

After my visit to the Tokyo Port Wild Bird Park, I finished the day by walking to Jonanjima Seaside Park: It is a park bordering Tokyo Bay, directly across the water from Haneda Airport. Its position makes it a good spot for watching the planes landing at the airport: They are flying overhead every few minutes. There is also a beach (swimming forbidden though…) and a camping site.
Yesterday, I went on my first seaplane ride, a 45-min tour departing from and arriving at the Vancouver Harbour. Here are some pictures I took on the flight.
I received some time ago a complimentary copy of the Canadian Alpine Journal where I had a (very) small contribution : a photo of the Diamir face of the Nanga Parbat that I took back in 2005. It is part of an article by alpinist Louis Rousseau giving an account of the Austro-Canadian attempt at the Nanga Parbat through a new route. I haven’t found the article online but there is another version on the American Alpine Journal blog.
