Tour Manager, amateur photographer, traveller. All photos my own. I love trees, birds, clouds, skies & mountains… and my Dachshund.
Beneath the high mound
two trees lean with quiet grace—
no wind yet they bow,
teaching me to stand gently
as silence forms the mountain. #japan #zen #photography #zengarden

This area was part of the Tōkaidō, the ancient highway connecting Tokyo (then Edo) with Kyoto during the Edo period.

Hundreds of towering cryptomeria (Japanese cedar) trees, were planted to protect travellers, over 400 years ago. It was truly humbling. #photo #japan

Some colour and authenticity on the streeta of Panama today. She was so gracious when I asked to take her photo.
She is dressed in a Pollera, a traditional dress from Panama, often worn for cultural celebrations and festivals.
