She demanded that we go for a motorcycle ride, so we did. Don't worry, she put her helmet on after I took the picture.

Wow nice view you two got. I wish I could go to Alaska.

We visited a local lake with a glacier and a waterfall.

The water was pretty cold, so we didn't go in, but we had fun skipping rocks into the water. She was better at it.

There were a lot of people at the waterfall, so we were unable to get a picture too close to it.

We moved on and decided to have lunch at a campfire site I knew of. We didn't make a fire, but that's okay.

The view from the campfire site.

How is this thread making me so happy to be single?

There was a small number of seagulls around, most of them were by the town. Sakuya wanted to use them as target practice, but I didn't think that it would be too nice to just leave a bunch of dead birds around.

So that was my day yesterday, /jp/. I hope that yours was as good as mine was.

You can almost feel the lively aura around that doll. So is she your waifu?

>>7946986
I don't think anyone could possible have as fantastic a day as that.

What did you guys have for lunch by the way?

Looks like you had a great day. I'm really envious.

Those are some good pictures you have taken there~
I quite like them.

It's like people don't realize how technology has advanced enough to let others know who's being a samefag.

>>7946994
Nothing too fancy, just salami sandwiches and chocolate. I meant to get a picture of her with the chocolate tin, but I guess that I forgot to.

I wish I could take my fumofumos out sometime. They stay in way too often, I think I should get a light for them.

What camera did you take those with?

Did she ever fall over while you were taking a picture?

she looks unhappy

>>7947010
She probably doesn't like her photo being taken.

That plushie seems huge.

I'm jealous of the scenery you have in your area.
I miss living in mountainous areas.

>>7947007
A Coolpix L20. It was about a hundred dollars, so it's not that great of a camera, but it's passable.

>>7947008
Sometimes she didn't like to stand still, but I always made sure that she was seated properly before took the pictures. Didn't want her to go for an involuntary swim, of course.

>>7947016
Some people just can't smile when they know that their pictures are being taken. Sakuya and I are those type of people.

I envy your Sakuya, op. It would make me so happy to be able to have a nice husbando like you.

>>7947010

She wanted to go to Hawaii

I visited Alaska once, it was by far the most beautiful state I've ever been to. Those icy peaks, those huge forests, even the greenish glaciers and that strangely attractive gray water. I miss it so and am mighty jealous of you and your Sakuya. You've made my day so much better, stay classy, OP.

Where in Alaska do you live OP?

These pictures are beautiful.

Thanks for sharing.

For a second there i thought you were another Norway-anon.
It all looked so..Familiar..

That said nice pictures, wish they were just a little bigger though.
I need a new wallpaper~

Why is this thread so uplifting and cute?

I wish I lived in alaska instead of shitty 120 degreee south texas

ah, op. I'll pay to live in places like alaska or northern europe...sadly, I'm just a old, poor, unskilled individual. there's no way I could live in such places and have enough time for enjoy the landscape...I envy you.

>>7947000
I think technology isn't necessary for that.

I'm enjoying this thread although .

...and so, the legend of Salaskuya was born.

>>7947083

You might as well not bother. Alaska is getting warmer.

>>7947095
I know, but I still like it more than my actual location.

>>7947053
What picture would you like? I can't quite give full size, the image size limit is 3mb and all of them are above 4, but it'll still be large enough for a background picture.

>>7947093
If next weekend is as nice, I will be taking Sakuya to the other end of town, and maybe for a hike.

>>7947040
Southeast Alaska. It doesn't get too cold in the wintertime, and not too hot in the summer. I like it here.

>>7947104
so, you're going on Sakuyadventure regularly?
cool

>>7947104
I quite liked the "Glacier Beach/Post" image.
As long as it is 1920x1080 or more it would be fine~

>>7947024
You son of a gun.

>>7946978
Watch out, a seagull could swoop down and take your Sakuya away.

>>7947125
Here you go. It's 75% of the full size, but it's more than large enough.

>>7947131
Don't worry, I know how to handle seagulls.

Did you go alone, OP, or were you with the handsome male?

I'm asking this because you seem to avoid people peeking at your doll. There's no reason to be ashamed!

>>7947136
>Don't worry, I know how to handle seagulls.
...why sounds so badass?

>>7947136

Make a .rar with all the photos at full size in it?

I'd love you.

>>7946986
what a beautiful picture. I really want an anime draw of this.

Did anyone by chance see your fumofumo during your travel, and if there was did they inquire about it? I've wanted to do the same thing for a long time, but was always discouraged by that hypothetical situation. Maybe I should do it the next time I go camping.

Thanks for inspiring me OP.

Sorry for the delay. The uploads totaled over 200 mb in size.

>>7947148
Two .zips for you, Sakuyalaska contains the full sizes of all of the pictures I have posted, while Unchosen contains the other pictures I took of her but did not choose for this thread.
Sakuyalaska: http://www.mediafire.com/?086p7l21pkfcu8p
Unchosen: http://www.mediafire.com/?99n08cy5koymq3f

>>7947155
Sakuya can be shy, so she tended to hide when others got close. You should probably have something comfortable for her to ride in when she doesn't want to be seen by the other people.

I like this thread.

>>7947155
Just say it's your daughter's favorite doll and she wanted you to take pictures with it because she couldn't go.

>>7947313
Its the doll of your sick imouto who lies in the hospital, and as the good onii-chan you are you go out to take pictures of the world for her with her doll in them.

>>7947258

Thank you anon!

pictures are in juneau, I've been to the same glacier. popular tourist spot @@

http://www.fs.fed.us/r10/tongass/districts/mendenhall/photos.shtml

>They will never make a fumofumo of your favorite touhou

You are a lucky man, OP.
I will wait for your fumofumo, Yuugi....

>>7947497
Fumo yuugi would be nice

I'd like a giant reimu or maybe a yuuka

I'm just bumping this thread because it inspired me to buy Reimu and Marisa plushies.

last thought before bed:
I wonder if a fumofumo will make interesting the shots of the zone where I used to make urban exploring...but I don't have one. plus a deserted industrial area would be a dangerous place to bring a soft touhou.
sob.

>>7947497
You just need to make your own!

Well done. Wish I had a large one.

Who am I kidding... I'd never do it on the very slim chance someone saw her ;_;

>>7947592
I didn't know Cirno had a driving license. and she's a Miku fan too? surprising...

>>7947587
Not such a bad idea, but I am not very talented when it comes to sewing and other such crafts.

The posts in this thread do not look like they were done by actual /jp/ers at all.

Disgusting.

ITT: pure hearts on /jp/.
and actually, I approve.

*appreciative

I liked the fumo shoots, thought the OP certainly is no pro photographer...

But he was being too much of an attention whore so I'm glad umineko fans came and tore this thread apart.

>>7946973
This shot makes me sad. I do not know why.

yay

>>7947608
a candle is a little light in the dark for a man, but a raging volcano for an ant.
and dude, suck my alaskock.

>>7947615
sunset.

Dixon's On the Psychology of Military Incompetence has a large section devoted to men so insecure in their masculinity that they compensate by spending a disproportionate amount of time and effort aggressively and sometimes lethally persecuting men with traits or habits that clash with their own personal ideal of masculinity. These stand in contrast to the examples of successful commanders, who most often share the traits of openness, flexibility, and a cultural curiosity and interest.

So please, just let the guy play with his dolls in peace. Erwin Rommel would.

>>7947615

It's because Sakuya's looking off into the distance wondering where her home is. I wonder if OP has any other fumos to keep it company.

>>7947622
I wish I was a cool VIPPER like Rommel.

>>7947622

Why you still put up with this board is completely beyond my comprehension, Helen. I have fond memories of the board in days past too, but just looking at this thread and many others like it really sap my energy.

>>7947635

Loved his camera, he did.

>>7947649
The thread was fine until people though it was a good idea to come shit it up.
Not everyone on /jp/ is like those faggots stop thinking we are one person. Just leave.

Loli Rommel is pretty cool.

>>7947650
Leica IIIF? What lens? Looks collapsible. Leitz Summitar 50mm f/2?

>>7947682
IIIf impossible at that time, probably a regular III.

>>7947649

Luck and chance in life has granted me transhuman endurance, a couple of years of academic study has made me a selective reader, and the firm factual knowledge that /jp/ always had good and bad sides to it helps.

>>7947690

Whatever it was, he sure seems to have loved it. It's with him even 60 years later in resin form.

Lovely pictures OP.

>>7947705

a rommel doll

finally a way to make your connection to that man even more intellectually, emotionally and morally inappropriate

>>7947705
I wonder where the one in his picture went. It probably still works fine.

>trying to make OC on /jp/
>these days
Just forget about it OP, this place is a shithole. I'm sorry you couldn't have a nice thread.

If that critical pseudo-intellectual guy is still lurking, just know this, you obviously do not have nearly a broad enough knowledge of the culture here (few do) to actually understand everything about the OP. If you freak out over a soft plush I don't want to know how you'd react to being teleported to the middle of Akihabara. The thing is, having such a narrow cultural knowledge causes a much more narrow viewpoint, and with this tunnel-vision comes the tendency to try to rationalize things that you DO NOT understand... simplifying them to work with your own pathetically inadequate notions, is actually a perfectly apt way of describing the process. Basically it's grasping at straws, trying to make up premises that don't exist but that you wish did, so that you can try to spin your argument to sound like you're "winning". This isn't debate club, pulling shit out of your ass just to try to struggle to resist admitting that maybe, just maybe, you're possibly wrong about something... is still not going to change the facts at hand here. You're wrong. Sorry, asshole.

It's just a couple of silly photos with captions and nothing more. Yet, that one pseudo-intellectual guy seems to think he can read into it so much. I bet it's some college kid or recent grad who had a couple of psych/phil courses and now thinks that he can accurately understand the inner psyches of everyone around him. It's almost as if he thinks he knows more about us than we know about ourselves. Wait a second, that's a patent fallacy, see:

http://youarenotsosmart.com/2011/08/21/the-illusion-of-asymmetric-insight/

>>7947741

Chances are his son has it.

>>7947749
Try refreshing the fucking page, the bullshit "arguments" and whining were deleted, forget about it and move on.

>>7947626
But her home is with OP.

Regardless of where OP travels with her, she will always be home in his warm, loving arms.

>>7947626
This is my problem and why I haven't personally got any yet. I want more than one, and at that more than 2, I want to try and get a theme set, Yakumos, SDM, etc. So I can't get just one.

>she put her helmet on after I took the picture.
Why does a doll need a helmet?

>>7947782
It was humor.

>>7947782
So she doesn't get hurt if she falls off, silly.

I used to do something similar with a small figure of Kurimu. Glad to see other people do stuff like this too. I used to live in Vancouver, so I had nice luxurious scenery like you do OP.

Here is Kurimu and I enjoying a bunch of candy

The only doll I have is Cirno. I would love to do this, but I live in the fucking Texan desert and I can't reconcile her cold nature with the heat.

>>7947802

Actually that sounds like it would produce some nice scenes. Go ahead and try it out sometime.

It's nice to see a fumo doing something other than gathering dust on a shelf, nice pics OP. If you got any over-exposed ones while shooting those, you can just blame Sakuya for dilating time.

also >>7947796

Hey, I have one of these. Actually I have >30 nendoroid petits and that's still my favorite one. For a while I kept it on my desk here, usually next to my tea.

>>7947802

If you have a freezer you could still do some silly stuff. Although, I guess... maybe not for something bigger than say a Nendoroid.. ice/ice shavings pulled out for a fumo would probably melt by the time you pulled out the camera.

archive this thread NAO!!!

>>7947809
No, I'd better not. It hasn't rained in over a year, and there are wildfires everywhere and there might be a dust storm and she would get dirty.

I had a group of cherry trees growing, but they all died from lack of water. I think that it would have been a very pretty scene though. The soft pink against her blue. Would have been nice.

Nice scenery.

Is it possible to live off the Alaska Permanent Fund, OP?

>>7947909
It's only gone over $2,000 once, so, no. Not unless you are homeless and live off of handouts anyways.

This thread made me feel good.
Thanks OP.

Alaska looks nice. Too bad I'm apparently banned from Canada or I would drive up there for a week.

>>7946950
Enjoy your frigid cold winter starting in a couple of weeks.

>>7948170
Take a plane.

>>7948170
Why are you banned? Got a criminal record or something?

>>7948341
i know i do.

winter is my favorite time in alaska.

beautiful snow, no flies, no mosquitoes or other annoyances, and few visitors. it's really very nice, and the cold outside makes the warm inside all that much better. as an added bonus if you have people around you, nobody will ever really bother you about staying indoors or constantly remark on what a great day it is(even though winter days are the most beautiful).

not only that, but the skiing is great. unfortunately, i don't really go outside anymore so that's a pleasure of the past for me.

did i mention neighborhood kids stop doing annoying things like skating and blaring loud music outdoors?

>>7948347
Yeah. I find it funny, I can freely travel to any country, no problem. I mean, for fuck sake, I have a top secret clearance at work. Yet I can't visit that big hunk of land to the north.
I know, no big loss, but really, what the hell Canada?

>>7948170
How the hell do you get banned from a country?

I'm so glad we can still have nice threads once in a while.

I wish i had a fumofumo Touhou and a camera too.
But in my environment only dense deciduous woodland exist.

In the end i bought a nendo miku plush. Not what i wanted but something i could keep my dignity with.

Well shit. This thread makes me want to go out and buy a camera. I think I'll be lurking /p/ for a while now.

>>7948534
It was probably a fake one anyway if it was that cheap.

That wouldn't make it any less entertaining of a novelty item, though, but still. On the plus side if there's giant fake Fumofumos floating around I bet you could hunt one down online (and pay maybe 1/10th the price of the real ones).

>>7948573
Cameras are nice...

this thread lasted so much? oh boy. I have the feeling that this winter will be a strange /jp/ winter.

>>7948769
>>7948475
no, this thread was just lucky and you are being deceived.

you should have seen it before it got cleaned up.

>>7948889
well, its still here anyway. and I can't really see why all the mad about it. what those sorry retards spammed? just pasta?

>>7947750
That was a pretty interesting article. No idea who you were targeting though.

>>7948892
Some people got into a retarded argument. Wasn't a big deal, it happens all the time.

Hi

>>7947486
I, as well, though it was about a decade ago, and on a cruise; I recognized the scenery in the first pic instantly. Ah, to be able to go again some day, and with Sakuya... /dream

Alaska sucks a fat dick. You can't imagine how pointless it is to live your whole life in the middle of fucking nowhere.
