I’ve looked into some of these, when I go back in late May I’m going to go look at a couple of them. Two of them are abandoned farms with some nice land.

Funny how the wave got bigger with each painting, almost as if the artis5 was over exaggerating the size as the artist got older and memory of the actual wave size faded.

The Masuda Iwafune is a large, mysterious stone structure located in Asuka, Japan. This megalithic monument, also known as the “Masuda Rock Ship,” is carved from a single piece of granite and is notable for its unusual shape, which resembles a boat or ship.

The stone measures approximately 11 meters in length, 8 meters in width, and 4.7 meters in height, weighing an estimated 800 tons. Despite extensive study, the exact date of its construction, purpose, and the methods used to carve the stone are still unknown.
