The Seven Mosques Cycling Loop

Went for a morning bicycle ride around some small villages west of Surabaya. The route passes 7 mosques (at least). It was a good ride, both scenic and warm. Here are two photos from that ride. My tour guide Derek is sitting in his trike in the first image, and that is the season’s first rice harvest in the foreground.

Walking in the Park

We went for a walk in the Tokyo Metropolitan Shiba Park on our last morning in Shiba, and we ran across a number of groups of young children being shepherded by their minders, all with colorful hats.

Back streets of Shiba

The cherry blossoms are also quite attractive at night! Here is a shot of a back street in Shiba, close to our hotel.

Underneath an Atmospheric River

22 February 2024: Here are two images taken in Hermosa Beach on Monday February 19 when LA County was directly under an ‘atmospheric river,’ also known as the pineapple express. The rain had let up long enough for me to take a walk down to the beach and see what the ocean looked like. In the first image the spray thrown up by the surf is obscuring the Manhattan Beach pier. The second image looks south toward the Redondo Beach Harbor breakwater.

Visit to South Coast Botanic Garden

We went to the South Coast Botanic Garden today. It was a very cloudy morning, but the diffuse lighting was great. This is the top of an unknown plant in the cactus garden area. Spikes!

Point Vicente with a big swell

December 30: Large swells have been reported up and down the California coast for the past several days. This is what it looked like from Point Vicente today. Catalina Island is in the background.

Lake Tahoe, early morning

Taken on the north shore of Lake Tahoe (California side) early on a morning in October. I like the small bit of sun peeking through the tree.

Columbia River Gorge

From October 17, this is a view of the Columbia River Gorge from the Oregon side, as seen from Vista House on the E. Historic Columbia River Highway. This was a very nice view, but a bit hazy that day. It seems to work better as a black and white image.
