Two strange rocks. This work of Mother Nature stands on the north coast of Taiwan — The Twin Candlestick Islets, originally a natural arch but the top has collapsed making them look like two candlesticks. From this angle, I almost thought they look more like two proud sea lions.

Traditional stone-paved streets are fairly common around Arashiyama. I like the placement of the stones in this composition especially the subtle red stone that reminds me of a third eye sitting right in the middle of the forehead.

In winter, these cherry trees that stretch few miles along Meguro River are stripped to bare bones, exposing a glimpse of the red arch bridge afar. The hint of red is also reflected in the river making it hard for one to take the eye off this welcoming burst of red.

The beauty of sheer effort to tell one to stay away from the turtle eggs 🐢 🥚. I find it fascinating to see a wide range of materials used to fence off this area — A green plastic milk crate, some wood planks, and stakes, a handful of rocks and stones, a piece of red fabric, two written notes with sheet protectors and a few yards of thick linen thread.

Hiroshi Sugimoto's Confession of Zero discreetly resides in an 18th-century chapel with a small window as the only source of light in the space.

This simple and unrefined wine-sipping corner can be found deep in the cellar of Castello di Ama.

The majestic marble quarries of the Apuan Alps have operated since the days of ancient Rome. I like how these worn tires were being used as a barrier. Without a person next to it, I would have little perspective as to how massive these tires were.
