Many thanks for your kind comment. I have the 'footage' for a longer version and a script sketched out, but the resolution of the images from my old video camera is poor, relative to today's cameras, and so I hesitate to put in the time. I think about going back and following that road again with a better camera. Yes, the sight of that nuclear power plant shocked me, too: a real challenge to find the beauty in that!
As a lover of Basho's diaries, and of the natural world he wrote so beautifully about, I found this little piece both eye-opening and heart-breaking. To end this film at the site of a nuclear power plant is painfully jarring. I almost hesitate to ask: since this is a "preview," will there be a longer version to come?
