When the sky is clear in HK

Crossing

 

I thought this really represents Tokyo. Clean, organized, and somewhat subdued. By Takeshi Motegi (sorry I stole it without asking).

Lunch time shopping #4: Light brown Kate Spade

On Friday, I went downstairs to run a quick errand, but look what I got instead. This is the (nice) fate of working right above the Pacific Place mall in HK.

 

Wait and see...

My 50 Faces in Everyday Object

  

This was taken at a German bunker on the coast in Denmark.  I thought I pay tribute to 50 Faces in Everyday Object as per below.

 

Ohhhh

These were taken at Ocean Park in HK last year. Quite spectacular.





 

Roman pool at the Hearst Castle

 

Can you believe that a place like this actually exists (maintained as such)? It's from the time of Great Gatsby, and was owned by newspaper mangnate Mr. William Randolph. This is one of the two pools at the Hearst Castle in California, in between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Check out some other rooms.

Summer reading in the garden

I bought very heavy and nice books at a Swedish book store. Of course I can't read any of them, so they are all for the pictures which works well anyway when the sun is too beautiful and you stop reading words. One was a book with old maps of different empires and countries. Another of the past explorers (all western) who took photos around the world in the late 1800s, a lot from Burma which was very nice and timely. Another book of ice cream.

Stone museum in western Sweden

There was a stone museum near where I was staying in western Sweden. It seems the area has great rocks which have been exported around Europe including some obvious edifices in London. The former name of the stone shop showed some remnant of WWII, which I assume was supposed to be transferred anew but was never realized. Today, there is an old 88 year old man who continues to do small work for the local church. Very neat.

Western Sweden is treating me well

 

 

Lots of mackerel

 

I caught my first ever Swedish mackerel.

 

Yum.
