The Golden Goddess

The  Golden Goddess 73 meters high                                       Kaga-Ishikawa Japan

On a crisp fall moring abord the JR West Super express, I was looking out the window when suddenly my eyes opened wide.  She was such a sight to see towering high above the city holding a baby in her arms. As the train pulled into the station I saw the name and it said Kaga-Onsen. I had such an urge to jump off the train but there was a flight to catch in a few hours.  I had never seen her in any of the guide books, internet or any other  information about Japan. I knew that I jmust to come back to Kaga and photograph her the next chance I could.         A few months later I on a snowy and beautiful morning I returned to the town og Kaga. From the station I could  see the city, the  mountains and trees all covered with snow. It was like arriving in some winter paradise.  As I walked towards her I  found something that I could not have imagined and something that no one likes to talk about in Japan
