Autumn in Hakone

Autumn in Hakone, a photo by shinnygogo on Flickr.

I took a trip to Hakone in 1963. It was a beautiful time and is now a beautiful memory. We took a train from Yokohama and stayed at one of the most luxurious resorts. I believe the room cost about $8 U.S. Of course at that time, there exchange rate was Y-360 per dollar. Wow, how everything has changed. The beauty of Hakone appears to have remained the same. This is a beautiful photograph.

Yes, a cool car and the robot is unique too. Like the color coordinated motif, though it would be difficult to drive around with the robot, I would give it a try. Would I get some smiles and waves? You bet I would. Congratulations to SHINNYGOGO for a great photo.
