Symphony Cacophony

On July 26, 2010 · In people, places

This is what greeted me when I stepped out at 9pm to go look for a place to get a bite to eat.  Of course, one doesn’t have to look far, but it does help to have choices…

Trams and People

On July 25, 2010 · In people

On Sunday morning I took a double-decker tram across downtown to Causeway Bay, where people crowd even on Sundays to shop.

Behind a tram is the safest place in the entire city to ride a bike. Just be careful not so swerve!

Actually on Sundays it is even more crowded because that is a holiday [...]

Midlevels Escalator

On July 24, 2010 · In people

Hongkong has  a plethora of transportation types – many of them unique – including double-decker trolleys, a near-vertical tram to the top of the peak, subways, ferries and jetfoils. But perhaps most unique and interesting of them all is the Midlevels Escalator which runs from the waterfront all the way up through the different neighborhoods [...]

Hollywood Road

On July 24, 2010 · In people, places, things, その他

Hollywood Road began as a few blocks of antique shops but recently has grown into the main east-west street that cuts across the Midlevels of Hongkong island, so-called because it is mid-way between the harbor and the peak. Here are a few snaps that I took on a walk along [...]

Leaving Seattle

On July 22, 2010 · In people

I’m heading to Asia on a two-week trip.  Thought I’d post a few pictures along the way.  These are my first ones, just getting to the airport. All taken with my iPhone…

These cyclists are poised to get off the ferry as soon as it lands.  I like the guy on the right, with none [...]

Sunset on Alki

On July 21, 2010 · In people

This picture has a few stories to it.  I find the natural juxtaposition between the males and the females to be of interest…

Meat Here

On July 18, 2010 · In people, things

I was perusing the pictures on my handy little point & shoot, and this photo from the farmer’s (and, apparently, butchers) market in downtown Portland suddenly caught my eye. Funny how sometimes the humor of a shot eludes one until much later. The sausages were delicious, by the way.

Monks of Labrang

Monks of Labrang

On July 17, 2010 · In people, places

Labrang  is the largest Tibetan monastery outside of Tibet proper. Located in the highlands of Xiahe, Gansu Province, just a half day’s bus ride from Lanzou.

Scanned from 35mm. Oh yea – that’s me. The one in the blue shirt.

Baguettes au Vietnam

Hot, fresh baguettes? Asia? Must be Saigon.

Hazel in China

On July 17, 2010 · In people

Those sunglasses are large enough that I can see myself in the reflection. And why did she pose for me, anyhow?

Chinese grafitti

On July 17, 2010 · In people, places, things

If you think English grafitti is difficult, try doing it in Chinese characters, in cursive!  Now that takes some skill…

Actually I’m pretty sure this fellow was actually spraying white paint to remove the graffiti. Still…

Artisans, Cortisans

On July 17, 2010 · In people, places

Funny, what you can see without even leaving the hotel.  Taken at the Shangri-la Hotel, Beijing.

Family Fun

On July 17, 2010 · In people

By Katherine Jardine.  And that’s what is interesting about this photo: she was holding her camera out in front of her to take the picture.  We have no idea who the little guy was in back.   Taken in Jaipur, India.

Country Comfort

On July 17, 2010 · In people, things

Actually there’s a story behind this.  The feet belong to a baby-sitter and the child is with her in the back of the pickup. Outside the Seabold Vintage Market, which is held on Bainbridge Island four times a year.

Saigon morning market

On July 17, 2010 · In people

On the way to the market, I met this wonderful woman. She also had a serious side.

This was the first picture I took of her. I can’t remember what it was I said to make her laugh. Probably something in English.
