Oracle CEO Larry Ellison is reported to have bought this villa near my\nhouse several years ago, for a reported<\/span> 100 million US dollars, though\nit's not known whether he's ever actually visited it in person. It's been reported<\/span>,\nthough, that he's pouring an additional 100 million dollars into renovations.<\/p>\n\n

(Larry's house has appeared on my blog once before, here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n

Anyway, I wasn't outside his front door at 3:40 am just to loiter. I had finished<\/span> my most recent\npost<\/a> about the big New Year's Day snow at 11:40pm, and then immediately\nwent out to photograph another big snow that had started not long\nbefore.<\/p>\n\n

I was out until 5am. It snowed heavily for the fist couple of hours... I'd bet that<\/span> yesterday's 58-year-old Kyoto-snowfall record was easily\nbroken again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The shot above is one that really illustrates to me my lack of skill\nwith the camera. The branch<\/span> seen in the shot was very large, and it held a\nhuuuuuuge<\/i> amount of snow. I was taking<\/span> a real<\/span> risk to merely be\nunder it, and quickly took a photo<\/span> with the intent to illustrate both the\namount of snow and the risk. But neither<\/span> really shows up in the end result.\n)-:<\/p>\n\n

I suppose it's ice crystals in the upper atmosphere, but I'm not really\nsure what causes this kind of circular rainbow around the moon. The colors<\/span> were much more pronounced than you see here, particularly with the\nblue\/indigo\/violet areas of the rainbow, which were clearly visible at a\nglance,<\/span> but don't seem to show up in this shot.<\/p>\n\n

(I've shown the same affect much better, during a solar<\/span> eclipse, here<\/a> and here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n
