Matcha and green tea to refresh and revive oneself. A respect and an enjoyment of nature. Youth, eternity, vitality and energy. The Geishas kimono was green and filled with maple leaves. She performed several dances in honor of nature.

 Manhole Covers of Japan series: One of my great delights has been in the manhole covers of Japan. Each district has its own unique picture on them. It's one extra thing to look forward to when we go off exploring for the weekend. Using the round design like a stencil or silhouette, I arranged the colorful photos underneath. They remind me of the round windows in Zen gardens, as well as stained glass windows.

They were familiar with tourists, and cameras. Barely any reserve or shyness. At ease for the attention of tourists with cameras and conversation. Each little rambunctious soul wanted their photo taken, and then checked the back of my camera screen to check their photo.

The Jindo Sea Parting, a wedding in a park, New Years Day celebrations, the incredibly packed beach of Haeundae Beach in Busan. Hikers resting on the mountain, elderly waiting for the bus, palace guards at Gyeonbokgung in Seoul. The women selling fruit and vegetables in Shinae (downtown). |  This little girls intent stare captured my lens. She dressed to impress the stream of tourists passing through the Sapa mountain villages. The girls had little keychain trinkets for sale. Her expression clearly states she does not love her occupation. The montage consists of landscape scenery, historic icons, and people. I like to think she is wearing her culture. Representing.

 The montage is filled with places and seasons, historic structures, statues, and monuments. The rugged mountains and skyscrapers. I have not included too many people in this portrait. Perhaps I will do another Korea portrait with more people constructing it.

What a warren of narrow streets and close living quarters. It wouldn't have been as exquisite to peruse in the Summertime. The bitter cold made it all the more interesting to see life happening outside in
the sunshine. Haircuts, markets, food preparation, shopping.

The steeple churches in every village. Flags hung out for religious celebrations. Bull fights and bull runs, Hydrangeas filling the countryside in all glorious colors. Huge, bulbous beached trees. Traditional dances and parades through the village streets.
