Pier View

but not before capturing this otherworldly scene

The pilot and guide

brought with it a wonderful sense of peace

On a spring day

I noticed a lone biker as she walked her bike through the center of one of the aisles

As a child I spent many hours playing with my toy trucks

Were the waters at the base really sustaining its life

I was so enchanted by the twinkling lights and dynamic energy that I almost forgot to snap the shutter

Or did the products from those waters bring economic life to the people who lived and worked there

Was it really a tree

A serendipitous sighting southeast of Kyoto revealed a pinkish-purple patch in the distance

I had the privilege of encountering one of nature's majestic miracles: towering Eucalyptus Grandis trees
