I take many of my pics with my iPhone now. It's just so much more convenient. Anyway, I took a picture of this rocking horse in a back alley of Neihu last week. The swastika (yes, I know it's a Buddhist one, not a Nazi one), amuses me. :smile:

Ignorance is bliss. Like I said, one does find 'new things' amusing. We put Swastikas on our cars, temples, toys, bikes, books, ledgers. doors etc. Both, my entry way and Kitchen doors have Swastikas on either side, drawn by the priest who blessed the home when we moved in.

Had some beers at the 7-11 one night and met these two old gents. Very proud of their tattoos. The were over 60, if they were a day.

You're right. It's pretty damn awesome. Any idea why a rhino?

First one is iconic, second has such huge space in it. The third doesn't ring my bell. I'd have the first one on my wall in a frame.

Gorgeous. Especially that first one -- like sandman says, iconic. You're really a first-class talent.
