Picture of a hot spring in Beppu.  Beppu is in central Oita prefecture of Japan. It is home to more than 2,500 hot springs or onsens in Japanese. It is the second largest hot spring area only to Yellowstone national park. We were photo walking through all the different onsen parks.  Japan is extremely humid during the summer.  Now add in a hot spring and it feels like a hot sauna.   I was worried about my camera and lens taking in condensation.  I had to continuously wipe down my lens from the steam to take pictures.  Thanks and enjoy.

@runrudy
i love your artistic photo work.  It's awesome! 
The picture of the hot spring is a wow.
May I suggest though that you describe what your experience in the place was like? I've never been to Japan and it's in my bucket list, please take me there through your posts. And I thank you already.

Hey there @englishtchrivy 

Thanks for the support.  I am new here so, I'm just trying to find my rhythm.   It seems that the more I write the less attention the post gets.  Could be timing of the posts, content and many other reasons. Still trying to figure it out.  It is not just about monetizing for me.  The ultimate goal is to get my work out there and share.  The two most successful posts that I have are less text and just letting the images do the talking.  Believe me, its not about lack of effort.  Each image is not just a snap and a post.  The art is planning, composition, processing etc...  There is hours of back end work and hidden sweat equity behind these pretty pictures.  : )    

So still trying to find my place here at steemit.  I do enjoy it so far.  Everyone is very friendly and helpful.  Like yourself.  I also don't do any social media so I am learning that as I go too.  I like your ideas and I will try to add more description to the images.   Especially if there is a funny story that goes with the image.   Thanks again!

@runrudy 
You're welcome. 
The comment I put there is as plain as it is - I didn't see any complacency in your work - I can imagine how hard it is to find the right angle to take a good picture, sometimes you even have to crawl or lay flat on the ground for a great shot and sometimes the sun is too hard to catch - in this case the mist must have been a challenge so you don't have to defend yourself man.  I've traveled many countries in Asia and Europe but I have never been to Japan, I've only heard stories about it from my students so I don't really know what the place is like.  Take me there some times haha - what a strange request.
One last question, are you pinoy?
