Hidden Cove

Here are some pictures I took of an area around the Funaori Seto (Boat-folding Seto) area, specifically of a small island called Niwatori Kojima (Little Chicken Island), a hidden cove, and two camping areas. They are random, but kinda cool. I took them the day before yesterday on the way home from Omishima. Hope you enjoy them. Remember, while looking at images, you can type “P” or “N” for “previous” or “next” respectively. “X” closes the window. Check them out.

  • My EYES. MY EYESSSSSSSS.

    I'm going to let this one slide. As the chicken question has been removed from my brain a more pertinent one: Why, oh why, does Deas have that photo bookmarked... or at least so extraordinarily accessible?
  • I have come up with a perfect answer for you Nicole. It doesn't answer your question, but is sure to distract you. That should let me get away with not having a witty answer. You might remember, I gave you a preview a while back, which you drooled all over and raved about for days. A certain British boy made his debut in a play with a Latin name and bared his magic wand for a full ten minutes, apparently. How can you resist? Once you've clicked, I feel confident that your question will fade from mind. Also, I'm sorry for subjecting you to this.
  • You know, Rabbit Island seems to be faaar bigger than Chicken Islet. Plenty of space to move around, whether or not you are a miniature chicken...I can see why the seabirds would like it. Also, I have given this a great deal of thought: maybe Chicken Islet is named so because the boats tend to play chicken with it. Lighthouse? That could make for a daring game. Then again, I don't think that "chicken" means the same thing in Japanese as it does in English. It's a bird, obviously. But is it also a game to see who'll divert their course first? Methinks not. I guess I just shot my own theory in the foot. Your move.
  • Nice pictures! I particularly like the sky in number 3. Also, the comment about "you should visit sometime." hmmmm

    I also wanted to add that in Hawaii, we have an island called Rabbit Island that actually had rabbits at one point. Now I it's been taken over by birds.
  • .... so didn't answer my question.

    is the island SHAPED like a chicken?


    Give me a satisfactory answer, Richardson.
  • That is an excellent question! I'm so glad you asked. Maybe you could do some research on that for us and then share it with the class. I kid, I kid. It's actually not called Little Chicken Island. I made that up. It's just Chicken Islet. The little should be describing the island, not the chicken. Sorry I led you astray. Perhaps this does not answer the question fully, but it will set your mind at ease about one thing - if there are any feral chickens running around, they are of average size. But I seriously doubt there are - there are like 4 trees on that island. Not really much space for little wild chickens, let alone full sized wild chickens. ;-)
  • Perhaps I just missed it and it was in the captions, but why, oh why, is it called Chicken Little Island. Or Little Chicken. Whatever. Genuine Question. I want to know. Enlighten me, oh wise wizard.

    Are there feral chickens running around? Oh, there's that word again. Don't worry. I'll have a new one for next week. I thought people were going to yell at me when I pulled befuddled out at the conference. Ah well. Cheerio.
