Delineated peaks

Afternoon sunlight glints off the surface of the water at the font at Helvetiaplatz, Bern.

Dusty Swirls of the Channel

Detritus from past floods swept out through the Thames estuary into the Channel.

Kyoto Station: the west end .. [5 / 5]

Kyoto is famous for its temples, oases of quiet contemplation. But one of the most spectacular structures you will see there is the Japan Rail Station building, which at first glance looks completely alien to the culture of Kyoto, but is really a mammoth modern take on the same principles. It is cavernous, a hollow enclosure defined by a skin of steel mesh, and the higher you climb out away from the busy platforms, the calmer and more contemplative it becomes. Kyoto, Kansai Prefecture, Japan.

It is impossible to take a good photo of it, because it is a truly experiential space. But like all things Japanese, there are often sightlines and narrow areas of focus that stand out. I am showing one such here, a view down into the cavern from the top of the Daikaidan stairs (visible at image right).

Hold me, fist me.

A common view, I’ve frequently posted at my local hospital, but I’ll never tire of looking out on this.

Look at the world with a toddler’s mind, look down, and decorative rocks outside the farmers’ market embedded in the grate to the emergency access on above the Blue Line.

You never know the wonders you find in your own backyard.

Had fun yesterday just spending an hour taking pictures and filming videos in my backyard. Nothing better than just spending time with my camera on a Friday evening.
