No probs at all - I was just feeling a little silly looking for something that wasn't there, wondering if everyone else could see it and not me!liveinabin1 said:Sorry. I realise now that an aerial shot of the Ryokan I stayed in doesn't really come under weirdness.
I was just a bit please with myself for managing to find it and wanted to share.
